Scotland County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge at 61 and a high 9.1 months of supply. Homes are taking a long time to sell, with a median of 173 days on market. Only 7.73 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is about 95 percent, showing buyers have room to negotiate.
Conditions have shifted notably over the past year, helping explain this buyer-friendly setup. Active listings are up more than a quarter year over year, while new listings have surged nearly 47 percent, giving shoppers more options. At the same time, homes sold are down about 45 percent and pending sales are lower by roughly 19 percent, so demand is not keeping pace with supply. Compared with North Carolina overall, where months of supply sit at 4.4, Scotland County has more than double the inventory relative to sales.
Prices, however, tell a more complex story for both sides of the table. The typical home value has climbed sharply, rising about 57 percent year over year, even as the median list price has slipped slightly compared with last year. This mix of stronger values, slower sales, and abundant inventory can make pricing strategy and offer terms tricky to get right.
