Selma real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Selma real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in Selma stayed relatively limited in February, with just 15 homes available and 6 new listings coming on the market. Buyers moved quickly, putting 5 homes under contract while the typical property spent only 6 days on the market, a sharp drop from both last month and last year.
Pricing is reacting to this fast pace, as the typical home value has climbed to about $260,000, up more than 48 percent year over year. Median list prices rose as well, reaching roughly $247,450 and jumping over 22 percent from the previous month while many homes still sold at or just above asking, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio very close to 1.00.
Compared with broader Johnston County, where typical values sit around $379,225, Selma currently offers lower price points but far stronger recent growth and a clear seller’s market reading on the local gauge. Projections into March suggest modest increases in both typical values and inventory, with expected home values near $312,750 and listings around 16, signaling continued activity for both sides of a transaction. In this kind of fast-moving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide each step.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Kevin Starkey and his team are absolutely excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and we learned so much in working with him! He was amazing at spotting the pros and cons of a property and explaining them to us--he really helped us dodge some potential pitfalls!! Communication from him and the rest of the office were super fast, friendly, and informative! They really went above and beyond for us, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Second time buying a home with Sue and plan to use her down the road as well! She's knowledgeable, professional, and looks out for the things you don't think of as a buyer viewing a home for the first time.”
“Matt was a great guy answered every question about everything. Call him night and day Saturday Sundays and he came through each and every time. we have already recommended him to my cousin who will be moving here in a couple of years from Phoenix.”

“Rebecca was available and patient in answering all our questions and walking us through the homebuying process, from beginning to end. Her knowledge and experience were the keys to our success.”
“Phillip was awesome to deal with and he was very informative. He was great on communication and was a delight to work with. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him.”
“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.”

She did all the legwork, and found me the perfect neighborhood, the perfect home! She was there EVERY step of the way, through the inspections, the paperwork... She was so knowledgeable, and professional. We were so in sync, I trusted her completely , and boy did she deliver! Attention to detail was an understatement for her , she's sharp as a tack lol, nothing gets past her. Thank you Leslie Smolkowicz, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You are the prime example of the phrase of having a "passion for what you do, and you will excel" it certainly shows . God Bless”
“We absolutely loved working with Valerie Maat! She is the most knowledgeable, patient woman I have ever met. Old people purchasing from out of state, we had at least a million questions.

We will recommend her to anyone looking for a home!”
