Monthly data for the latest available year.
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 (Sep 2026).
Onslow County home values in September 2026 were slightly higher than a year ago, with the typical home value up just over 1 percent year over year. Median list prices moved the other way, dipping about 3 percent from last September. Inventory expanded significantly over the past year, with active listings up more than 27 percent and months of supply rising sharply to 4.4 months, signaling a more balanced environment compared with last year.
Looking more closely at the latest month, the typical home value stood around $311,000 and the median list price was about $300,500. Sales activity slowed, with homes sold down nearly 10 percent year over year and about 16 percent from August, while new listings also pulled back more than 20 percent month over month, suggesting both buyers and sellers are taking a bit more time.
Homes are spending longer on the market, with median days on market up to 60 days, a 22 percent increase over last year and higher than recent spring and summer levels. Even with that extra time, just over 18 percent of homes still sold above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio remained high at nearly 99 percent, indicating buyers are generally paying close to asking. Compared with North Carolina overall, Onslow County has slightly less supply than the state’s 4.8 months, but is categorized as a neutral market, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting conditions.
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.

“Liz was absolutely amazing! We wanted to buy a new home and sell our current home at all once! She made every step so easy and comfortable. I can't believe we found each other through Instagram! She had amazing recommendations on broker, home inspection, ect. I will 100% use her again in the future! She is an absolute GEM!”

“Jeff and his team were responsive, professional, and did an excellent job setting the expectations and keeping me up to date on all activity on my house. Jeff assisted me is selling my house and buying a new one simultaneously. We closed on both the same day seamlesslly.”
“Working with Joshua was one of the best decisions we made during our homebuying journey! As first-time homebuyers purchasing a home from across the country, we knew this would be a big step, but Joshua made the entire experience so much easier. From the very beginning, Joshua worked hard to help us secure the home we fell in love with. It wasn't an easy one to get, but he fought for us and made it happen. Even with us being out of state, he made sure everything was taken care of. Our closing process was far from typical, and we faced some unexpected challenges with our lender that caused delays and uncertainty. Throughout it all, Joshua handled everything professionally, stayed on top of every detail, and did everything he could to keep things moving forward. He truly went above and beyond, helping us feel less stressed during a very challenging time. We cannot recommend Joshua highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who will genuinely fight for your best interests, go the extra mile, and stand by you no matter how challenging the process gets, Joshua is the one you want on your side. We would choose him again in a heartbeat!”
“Since we were completely new to buying a house, we honestly had no idea what to do or how to do it! Andrea helped us with every step, question and never missed a beat when it came to something we needed. She helped us find our first house, and from the start to finish she was amazing! We could not recommend her enough, we truly are appreciative of everything!”
“We actually dealt with Coralie! She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process of purchasing our property. Very responsive when we had a question and always answered quickly to be courteous of our time. I’ve never had someone response to me on weekends and from home as much as she did to make sure we were taken care of! Can’t say thank you enough for the great experience!”
“AJ McGowan came highly recommended from another home buyer. We were very pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. His support during the buying and building process of a new home was exceptional from the beginning to closing. We highly recommend AJ, 1st Class Coastal Choice and the McGowan Coastal Collective for all your real estate needs.”
“Great service! I have use Raquel for multiple transactions in the Jacksonville, NC area and always the same superb service. Very professional and knowledgeable in the area. Highly recommended!”
“Elise was very knowledgeable about the area and was encouraging through the whole selling process. I am very appreciative of the time and effort Elise put into helping us. She took our needs into account and worked with our schedules. It was simply a pleasure to work with her.”
“Judy has been a long time friend and I knew for years she was a good agent, receiving many awards. I trusted her and she did not let me down. If I were still in the area, I would use her again if I needed an agent. Being out of the State, I can recommend her to friends that reside in her area. I apprexciate her very much.”
“Nichole is a true professional. Her knowledge of current markets and local neighborhoods is outstanding and allowed us to receive a maximum return. Nichole was continually responsive to us and answered all questions along the way with not only her recommendations but also alternative paths that could be taken during the sale of our home. We could not have asked for a better experience and so glad Nichole is our realtor!”
“Daniel was supper responsive and a very dedicated assistant in helping me find the property I specifically needed. He quickly sent me whatever I needed and was always ready to take a call to discuss. I will use his services again without hesitation and cannot recommend him enough.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Debbie with Pinpoint Properties! She helped me sell my home about a year ago, and when it was time for me to buy again, there was absolutely no question about who I wanted by my side. Debbie truly listens to what you want and then goes above and beyond to make it happen. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and genuinely invested in her clients. She doesn’t just help you buy or sell a house — she advocates for you every step of the way and makes you feel like you have someone in your corner. What really sets Debbie apart is how far she is willing to go for her clients. She is even paying for some repairs out of her own pocket to help make sure everything is taken care of. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and how much she cares about the people she represents. After having Debbie sell my previous home and now help me purchase my new home, I can honestly say anyone would want Debbie on their side. She has earned my complete trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will genuinely look out for their best interests. Thank you, Debbie, for helping me get into my new home!”
“Adam is the best of the best! He's extremely knowledgeable about the area and what's to come. You'd definitely regret not going with Adam. Whether you're looking for investment property or for a primary, Adam is your guy!”
“It was great and he definitely helped me understand more about renting a property and what goes into it as my wife and I’s first time renting. I had a good amount of questions and he was able to answer just about every single one of them and that helped me understand a lot more about renting as a whole.”
“Meaghan was an absolute gem to work with!! She is responsive, explains the process every step of the way, and goes out of her way to make the transaction seamless and easy!! I will definitely be using her again in the future to buy and sell!!”
“As first-time real estate investors living in a different state, buying a property in North Carolina felt daunting. Working with Elizabeth completely changed that. From our very first conversation, she made us feel incredibly comfortable and was so easy to talk to. She seamlessly managed the entire long-distance process, coordinating everything online and via video chats with everyone involved. Elizabeth made what could have been a stressful, remote transaction feel completely effortless. We are so grateful for her expertise and warmth, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! We look forward to working with her again!”
“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.”
“Relocating from out of state requires an agent you can trust, and Kraig exceeded all expectations. He acted as my eyes and ears on the ground, with virtual tours and honest feedback on homes. No matter the time of day, Kraig was quick to respond to my questions and guided me through the entire process step by step. Five-star service from start to finish!”
