Information and statistics on the latest trends in the South Raleigh real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year over year, typical home values in South Raleigh have dipped about 1.1 percent, while new listings have climbed roughly 20 percent. Pending sales are up nearly 34.9 percent, and inventory has grown about 19.6 percent compared with last year. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market rising more than 62.7 percent over the same period.
In February 2026, the typical home value in South Raleigh was about $305,000, well below the broader Raleigh figure of $430,000. Sellers are still in a strong position, reflected in a market gauge of 9 out of 10 and an average sale-to-list ratio close to 0.98.
Median list price in February held steady at $309,990 month over month, even as inventory slipped to 55 homes and new listings reached 72. Buyers are seeing more time on the market at around 70 days, yet only about 15.7 percent of homes sold above list, suggesting some room for negotiation. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected around $297,500 with inventory easing to 52 homes, while the median list price is expected to stay near $309,990. These trends show a market that leans toward sellers but still offers options for buyers, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a skilled local agent to navigate it.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Chelsea did an AMAZING job selling our home. She knew exactly how to price it to sell it in the timeframe we needed while also not compromising on the value of the home. We received a very reasonable offer on our home in less than 30 days and ultimately ended up closing on our home with that offer. This is compared to other homes in our neighborhood that have sat for 40-150 days on the market. We believe it is because of Chelsea's knowledge, expertise, and diligent marketing that our home sold so quickly and favorably.”
