“Best decision my wife and I made was to have this wonderful husband and wife team sell our house! We were previously with a different agent who we felt didn’t understand the tough townhome market in the area. We were wanting more guidance on the market, more pro-active communication from our relator, and knowledge on how to effectively price our home. We found ALL OF THIS with the Sold by Starkey Team! Within a few weeks of Kevin & Amanda becoming our new realtors we sold our home! The entire process was so smooth and we were kept informed on current market trends and the selling process the entire time. This team really shines with understanding the local market and providing constant communication! Real Estate is not a hobby for this team, they are true realtors! We highly recommend Sold by Starkey team - You won't be disappointed!”

Orange County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Orange County real estate market. *
Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Orange County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Orange County
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).
Year-over-year, Orange County’s housing market shows softer prices alongside expanding activity. Typical home value is down slightly compared with last year, while median list price has fallen more notably, even as homes sold are up over 20 percent and new listings have jumped by nearly 30 percent.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, buyers are seeing more options, with about 733 active listings and roughly 4.5 months of supply, placing conditions in buyer’s market territory. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market climbing to 55 and the share of properties closing above list price dropping to around 12 percent and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 98 percent.
Compared with North Carolina overall, where the median sale price sits near $370,000 and inventory has risen more modestly, Orange County remains a higher-priced but increasingly accessible market. With pending sales down from last year despite higher inventory, both pricing and negotiation power can vary by neighborhood and property type, so Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

Orange County offers residents a vibrant mix of close-knit communities, excellent schools, abundant outdoor spaces, and a thriving arts and dining scene.
Orange County offers a blend of small city convenience, college-town energy, and easy access to larger job centers. Anchored by Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, the area connects efficiently to Durham and Raleigh via major highways, while remaining manageable in size and traffic.
Life here centers around everyday convenience. Chapel Hill’s walkable Franklin Street pairs restaurants and coffee shops with nearby UNC facilities, including the Chapel Hill Transit system that offers fare-free local bus service. In Carrboro, the Carrboro Farmers’ Market is a year-round hub for local food and a good indicator of the area’s emphasis on fresh, regional products.

“We met Carolyn in April when we decided we wanted to start the home buying process and sell our townhome. From the very beginning we had a really good feeling about her. She was very personable, kind hearted, and listened to our needs. We told her what we wanted and what we were willing to budge on as well. She took it all into consideration when providing suggestions and showing homes. We were amazed at the wealth of knowledge that she brought to the table when it came to builders, areas to consider, inspections, price points, etc. I could go on and on. She is a Jill of all trades! With her amazing negotiation skills our offer on the house we wanted was accepted out of several offers and we bought the perfect home. My favorite part of this process was seeing that the things we thought were impossible become possible. For instance when it came to selling our townhome, we were in an area and neighborhood where similar homes were sitting on the market for months. She made some suggestions, we followed through and received an offer in 11 DAYS!! That speaks volumes on her expertise. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor for this whole process. We are forever grateful for Carolyn and Nord Property Group.”
“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!”
“CJ was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from start to finish! He walked us through every step, patiently answered all of our questions, and thoroughly explained everything along the way. He made sure we understood the process and helped guide us all the way across the finish line. We truly appreciate his support, communication, and dedication in making the entire experience a smooth one. Highly recommend CJ!”
“Angela is hands down the best!! Buying and selling can be stressful at times, but she manages the process expertly. She’s always many steps ahead of client needs, stays on top of every aspect of the process, communicates consistent updates, and is always available for questions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the Triangle area. Thank you, Angela!!”
“We had an excellent experience buying with Farhan Khan coming from out of state. He communicated proactively with us throughout the process, made sure are we are well informed, was always helpful, and went the extra mile. He also offered valuable guidance when it came to negotiating and putting an offer. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the Greater Raleigh area.”
“Aaron was such a pleasure to work with! I know we were some of the pickiest people he's probably ever had to work with, but he never made us feel like it. We were never rushed or made to feel odd about asking so many questions about things we didn't understand, and Aaron took his time making us feel very safe and comfortable in this huge decision! His kindness and compassion really went a long way, 10 stars!!”
“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!”
“Marjorie gave us the support and guidance on sale of our home. Always responsive and patient with us. Would recommend to others looking for a realtor.”
“Selling a home is such a big and emotional milestone, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to walk through it with us than our sister/sister-in-law and Brother-inlaw Chris! Having someone we love and trust by our side made this experience so much more meaningful. They put their heart into helping us, worked tirelessly for us, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. And somehow, They managed to get our home SOLD in just ONE WEEK! We already knew how wonderful they were as people, but watching them work as a realtor made us appreciate them even more. Their dedication, compassion, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients shine through in everything they do. We are beyond grateful for all the time, effort, and love they poured into helping us through this chapter. We couldn’t be more proud to call them family, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They truly are the best!”
“Matthew went above and beyond to make sure that our home sale went smoothly. He made sure everything was taken care of, and that we always knew what was going on. His knowledge of the area and clear communication made the selling process a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Addie was AMAZING! She really represents her clients well. She is there every step of the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service she provided.”
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kaitlin while purchasing our first home in Benson, North Carolina, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. As first-time homebuyers, the process was new to us and, at times, a little stressful—especially when navigating some difficulties with the sellers. Throughout the entire process, Kaitlin went above and beyond to advocate for us and made sure that all of our questions, concerns, and needs were heard and addressed. Having Kaitlin by our side made the home-buying process feel 10 times easier. She was always attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear that she wasn’t just focused on getting the transaction completed—she truly cared about making sure we were getting what we needed and the best deal possible. Her dedication to her clients really sets her apart, and we are so grateful to have had her guiding us through such an important milestone in our lives. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking to buy a home in the Benson area or surrounding communities. We would absolutely work with her again in the future and couldn’t imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else!”
“Love! Love! Love! Chambrea!!!! She worked so hard on my rental property ventures and it paid off!!! We wanted to invest in our home-state of NC even though we live in California, and she was our eyes, ears, hands, and feet so that we could realize our dreams. Chambrea is highly intelligent and professional and will work until the job is done RIGHT!!! We have a few hiccups along the way but she walked us through every single hurdle, and we were able to close! I will be using Chambrea in the future as we look to expand our rental property ownership! HIGHLY recommended.”
“I’m not even sure where to start! I knew I wanted a home, but beyond that, I was all over the place. I wasn’t sure what I wanted, what I needed, or even where to begin. After recently losing my mother, I also found myself missing the sounding board and guidance I had always been able to count on. Along came LaShanda. With a calm hand, incredible patience, and true professionalism, she guided me through the entire process. She listened to me, understood what I was looking for—even when I wasn’t quite sure myself—and somehow helped me find the place that felt like it was meant for me. My dream home. A townhome, to be exact! What could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience became one of the most meaningful journeys I’ve ever taken. She didn’t just help me buy a house; she helped me find a place I can truly call home. I will forever be grateful for her guidance, patience, expertise, and genuine care throughout this entire process. If you’re looking for a realtor who will truly listen, advocate for you, and walk beside you every step of the way, I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for helping me find my home. You’ll always be a special part of this chapter of my life.”
“She has gone way beyond our expectations. Good freind Like a sister”
“Toni has been a joy to work with from the very beginning. As a first time home buyer, Toni's guidance, patience and expertise in this process has been nothing short of amazing. I am truly Blessed to have been connected to Toni and her team of people to walk with me this process.”
“As first-time homebuyers, we feel very lucky that Bilt matched us with her. We had seen mixed reviews online about different eXp agents, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but she was fantastic from start to finish. She was patient, proactive, and always took the time to explain things, answer our questions, and give us honest advice. We were ready to accept the seller’s counteroffer, but without us even asking, she kept negotiating and came back a couple of hours later with an even lower price. That really showed us she was looking out for our best interests. She was also very responsive, even while out of the country on vacation. We had one small issue with an inspector she recommended, but she did everything she could to help get it resolved. Our parents were also involved in parts of the process and came away just as impressed. We’re very grateful we were matched with her and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Pete is an extremely knowledgeable, kind, flexible realtor. He was very helpful with suggesting repairs prior to listing our home. He talked us through each step, knowing the possible outcomes and preparing us for different scenarios. He was ahead of the game. We landed three offers within days of listing our home. Pete got us over asking price and a backup offer. I am so grateful that we worked with him. I would absolutely do so again in the future.”
“Absolutely Amazing! I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the best agent in the business! Tim patiently waited while we figured out exactly what we wanted to do. When we finally found the home we wanted, it wasn’t going to be easy—but HE MADE IT HAPPEN! He got it done ON TIME and UNDER BUDGET! 5 Stars just isn't enough- He runs his own firm, runs renovation jobs, and always makes time for his clients! I don't know how he does it all!! If you’re looking for an LOCALLY OWNERED FIRM and an owner/agent who will be patient, persistent, and truly go to bat for you, Atlas Central NC Realty/w owner Tim Supples is your guy!”
