“All I can say is " what a find " in regards to having the opportunity to meet Jeff Lesley & his team. My wife & I have purchased our fair share of homes over the years & worked with quite a few realtors. But, we must say that this home purchase was the smoothest, easiest, home purchase yet. Jeff & his team of Ashli, Hannah, & Brenna all assisted in making this the most painless process ever. Always there when we had questions, never questioned any moves that we wanted to make in negotiations, our needs were first & foremost in this process. Ashli & Jeff were with us all the way til the end. If we ever make another purchase in the area that Jeff & his team covers we will undoubtbly use their services. Actually, they are looking into a lot for us to purchase. This team comes highly recommened from The McFadden Family. PS - And the family culture that they possess doesnt stop after your settlement, they throw some very cool gatherings! Thank you again Jeff Lesley & team”

Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Onslow County’s housing market has grown notably over the past year, with typical home values up nearly 10 percent. Active listings are up more than 20 percent year over year, giving buyers more options than last summer. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has edged down slightly, indicating somewhat less intense bidding pressure than a year ago.
Looking at July 2026 specifically, the typical home value is about $329,000, a bit below the North Carolina state median but higher than earlier this year. Inventory stands at roughly 1,900 active listings, with about three and a half months of supply, which is tighter than the state’s 4.3 months and still leans toward sellers.
Sales activity has cooled recently, with homes sold in July down sharply from June and median days on market stretching to 55, well above the very fast pace seen last year. Fewer new listings and a small dip in pending sales compared with the prior month suggest a slower but still active market, while sale-to-list ratios just under 100 percent show sellers are generally achieving close to asking prices. With conditions shifting from very hot to moderately seller-leaning, both buyers and sellers in Onslow County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these evolving trends.
Learn more about what Onslow County has to offer.
Onslow County offers residents a welcoming mix of outdoor recreation, tight-knit community, and growing opportunities that support families and local businesses.
Onslow County stands apart from nearby coastal communities with its strong military presence, year round outdoor lifestyle, and authentic small town feel. Home to Jacksonville, Camp Lejeune and miles of Atlantic shoreline, the county blends stability and growth in a way that appeals to both long time residents and newcomers.
Waterfront living is a major draw. Families spend weekends along the New River or exploring the sands of North Topsail Beach, while public access points around Topsail Island make coastal recreation part of everyday life. Inland, places like Richlands and Swansboro offer a quieter pace with community events and walkable main streets. Parks such as Onslow Pines Park and the New River Waterfront Park support active lifestyles, while resources like Onslow County Schools and the Onslow County Public Library keep families connected and informed.
The housing market reflects a mix of military moves, long term owners, and investors, which can create both opportunity and competition. Whether you are planning a PCS, looking to upgrade near the water, or preparing to list a long held property, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects you with a real estate professional who understands Onslow County’s neighborhoods, market cycles, and community life, helping both buyers and sellers move with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

“Ava from Century 21 was absolutely fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find the right home and secure a great deal. For over two months, she patiently guided us through the process and never hesitated to travel up to an hour from her office so we could explore homes across the area. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top‑tier realtor.”

We will recommend her to anyone looking for a home!”
“Oscar was great to deal. I will use him to buy my next home.”
“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
