“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”

Homes are taking significantly longer to find buyers, with median days on market jumping 153.19 percent to 119 days. Inventory held steady at 6 active listings, and there were 3 new listings and 2 pending sales. Almost no homes sold above asking, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.98.
Compared with Raleigh overall, where the typical home value is around $420,000 and projected to edge down to $417,250, Chastain offers a lower entry point today and is projected to sit near $260,000 next month. The broader city has 1,428 homes on the market, while Chastain’s smaller pool of listings contributes to its Seller's Market reading of 30 on the local gauge. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values in the neighborhood are projected to dip slightly even as the median list price is expected to rise toward $507,535 with inventory still around 6 homes. With these mixed signals for prices and timing, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands the Chastain market.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
