Southern Shores real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Southern Shores real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, Southern Shores has seen typical home values dip by 3.59 percent, a milder decline than Dare County’s 5.51 percent drop. Inventory is down 44.44 percent from last year even as new listings have fallen 16.67 percent and pending sales have plunged 72.22 percent, pointing to slower overall activity.
In February 2026, the typical home value stood at about $752,000 while the median list price was roughly $737,475, indicating sellers are pricing close to recent values. Homes are spending much longer on the market at a median of 158 days, more than doubling month over month and rising 37.39 percent year over year.
Looking to next month, projections show typical home values edging up toward $785,500 even as the projected median list price eases to about $708,712 and inventory ticks up to 28 listings. With 8.3 months of supply, one-fifth of listings seeing price drops, and a sale-to-list ratio near 0.98 where one-third of sales close above asking, conditions line up with a neutral market that offers room for negotiation. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can rely on Agent Pronto to help them find an agent who understands Southern Shores.

“Selling our home was an emotional experience for us because it meant downsizing and closing a chapter of our lives. Even though it wasn’t an easy decision, working with Kat Miller made the process far better than we expected.From the very beginning, Kat was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. She guided us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions promptly, and handled every detail with care. Her expertise in pricing, marketing, and negotiations helped ensure that everything went smoothly and that we felt confident in every decision we made. What stood out most was her patience and understanding. She recognized that this wasn’t a move but a major life transition—and she treated it with the respect and sensitivity it deserved.Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the sale was handled efficiently and professionally. We would absolutely reccomend Kat to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate realtor.”

“Mitzy has been an absolute pleasure and we could not imagine working with anyone from here on out. She is patient, understanding and supportive. She eliminated all stress and worry of the unknown and kept us informed of every single thing along the way. She spent so much time staging our home to look amazing and doing an open house. She knew the strongpoints of the house and amplified those. Selling a house for the first time is stressful and so much unknown. She is very knowledgeable and explains things in terms we can understand. She supports in our decisions but makes sure we come out the best we can. Our inspection came back and had disappointed us and Mitzy reassured us and addressed all issues and had it resolved. She is quick and efficient. I could go on and on about working with her. But I recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. She will be our first call everytime!!”
