Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Year over year, Southern Shores shows mixed price trends in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value down slightly even as the median list price has risen. At the same time, homes sold and pending sales have both declined compared with a year ago, pointing to softer overall demand.

In the most recent period ending in September 2026, the typical home value is about $831,000, while the median list price is roughly $871,000. Inventory is relatively limited, with 47 active listings and about 5.4 months of supply, indicating more balance than in past years but still tilted toward sellers.

Market pace has shifted noticeably, as homes now spend a median of 80 days on the market, much slower than the very quick selling times seen last year. With only about 6 percent of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 97 percent, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands these conditions and can guide them through pricing, negotiation, and timing decisions.

“Kasey was great! She gave informed and truthful opinions on properties, locations, prices, etc. based on her extensive local knowledge. Her connections were invaluable when it came time for inspections and estimates. She was always very responsive to texts, emails, and phone calls. She helped us keep a positive attitude even when it seemed we wouldn't find anything we wanted. Kasey went well above and beyond the standard for realtors (between the two of us we have bought and sold nine houses). We could not recommend her higher, and we would absolutely use her again.”

“We simply cannot recommend Ann Taylor Lusk highly enough.? Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! Ann's incredible knowledge and insight of the local OBX market and strategic pricing helped us get our home under contract very quickly, and for a price we were very happy with. She truly went above and beyond to ensure our house was ready for the market, providing invaluable advice on staging and preparation. Ann was always available to answer our endless questions and kept us informed every step of the way. She is proactive, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to her clients. Nowadays, it's quite rare to find this level of dedication, and we were~and always will be~ so grateful for her unwavering professionalism and genuine partnership. ~Kenny & Lisa Sharp”

“As a first-time homebuyer, working with Catherine was an amazing experience from start to finish. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that made everything feel manageable and stress-free. Catherine was always responsive, professional, and truly had our best interests at heart. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel exciting and smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through our first home purchase and would highly recommend her to anyone-especially first-time buyers.”

“We happily recommend Tammy! Because we live out of state, we didn’t know where to start when we made the decision to sell our inherited Nags Head condo. Fortunately, we found Tammy online and she guided us through the entire process. The condo needed some cosmetic updates and she put us in contact with a friendly, skilled handyman who had the condo ready in no time and at a reasonable cost. Tammy then staged it for us and had a professional photographer come in. The place looked amazing! The listing was only on the market for four days before we had numerous offers and a signed contract. Thank you Tammy, for guiding us through a difficult situation and making the entire process manageable, even from a distance!”

“Adam and his team are exceptional! Adam is a great listener and truly understands the OBX market. He helped navigate the very competitive OBX market to negotiate a great oceanfront home. From the analysis of the property, the property management companies in the area, contactors/vendors, insurance agent/mortgage brokers, all of Adam's contacts were excellent and made the process of purchasing a home remotely in the OBX as smooth as possible. Look no further, Adam and his team are phenomenal! As someone who has purchased and sold several homes, I highly recommend Adam without any reservation!”

“Real estate on Hatteras Island can be confusing because of all the regulatory bodies involved. I very much appreciated Sylvia’s knowledge and communication as we worked through the process to purchase raw land. If you’re looking to buy or sell on the island, I recommend Sylvia with no hesitation.”

“We have enjoyed working with the Siers team over the years since we first moved to the OBX. We used Stacy amd Mike to purchase 2 houses and a lot while we were there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the OBX.”

“Jessica always went above and beyond in her professionalism. Her attention to detail was amazing and she truly listened to us. We never felt rushed and she always had a great selection of homes lined up for us to see when we came down. She worked harder than any other real estate agent we have ever dealt with to help us find our forever home. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable and laser focused on the most current market conditions. She’s honest, dependable and tremendously driven to provide her clients with the best real estate experience and customer service possible. I would highly recommend Jessica Arnett for any type of real estate needs you may have in the OBX area.”

“Jeremy is the ultimate professional. He is attentive, responsive, ethical and most importantly honest. He truly has his clients best interest at heart and does not hesitate to do the right thing even if it means he has to personally sacrifice something. To say that it was a pleasure working with him is an understatement. If you are looking for someone that will give you 110% he’s your man. We will not hesitate to recommend him or work with him again.”

“Alan Creech was the Realtor for my first home purchase. I looked at houses with other Realtors who had good reviews, but Alan helped me find my house the first day! Alan was very helpful throughout the entire home purchase process. He continues to stay in contact and answer any questions I may have long after the sale of my home. The one thing that sets Alan apart from other Realtors I've met is that he will tell you "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" immediately followed by "I will find out and get back to you" He will find out what he can and get back to you every time. When you are purchasing Real Estate or just looking the only thing better than a professional to answer your questions is to have a Realtor like Alan who has built a team of professionals around him who he will go to if you need something outside of what Alan already knows. (Which is a LOT) When I purchase my next property (my first investment property) he will be the only Realtor I use. In short Alan is extremely helpful, honest and resourceful.”

“When my wife and I started to search for a weekend get away Matt provide the service we were looking for. Since we were about 2 hrs away being able to come down on a Saturday and look at multiple listings within our price range was invaluable. I highly recommend Matt.”
