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

Year-over-year, Southern Shores shows modest price growth, with the typical home value up slightly while the median list price has climbed more notably. At the same time, inventory has tightened compared with a year ago, as active listings have dropped and new listings have edged lower, pointing to fewer options coming to market.

Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in June 2026, buyers are seeing a typical home value around $800,000 and a median list price near $966,000. Homes are spending about two months on the market on a median basis, and the average sale-to-list price ratio sits just under 97 percent, suggesting some room for negotiation.

Supply conditions have shifted toward sellers, with months of supply at roughly two and a half months and the area classified as a seller’s market. Even so, around a quarter of homes go off the market within two weeks, while overall sales and pending contracts are slightly higher than a year ago, indicating steady demand. In this kind of environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands Southern Shores’ current dynamics.

“Mitzy is the best realtor around! She helped my parents buy & sell, and after seeing how great she was with them, we decided to use her services for our first home! We had an amazing experience. Mitzy is reliable, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive every step of the way. She was always quick to respond, even to our silly questions, and made an intimidating thing seem so much easier! We couldn't have done this without her. We recomend Mitzy to everybody!”

“Bill Lumpp at Pink Flamingo Realty LLC was very helpful throughout the entire process of selling our parents' home. He gave suggestions for improvements we needed to do before listing the house, and for how to stage the home. He gave us the pros and cons for accepting an offer. My brother and I are not local to Nashville, and Bill was always available to answer our questions and to give information regarding issues. He helped us talk through "hiccups", and he put out little fires that occurred during the selling process. He helped us during a stressful (and sometimes emotional) process all the way to the closing day.”

“Kevin and The Sold by Starkey Team were phenomenal! As first time homebuyers who had very little idea of the process, but had properties already in mind, Kevin was able to jump right in getting us information and putting offers in. Him and Autumn were involved in every step of the process, handling as much of the communication as they could and providing guidance in times of uncertainty, which took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. We will 100% be recommending them to everyone!”

Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top‑tier realtor.”

“Working with Pamela was an answer to our family's prayers. Selling a home can be a wild and stressful journey, especially when you are juggling a simultaneous purchase with shifting dates, but Pamela navigated all the twists and turns with ease and got our house sold in exactly 19 days! Her communication is top-notch, and she took so much of the burden off our plate, making a highly stressful situation feel easy and manageable despite the very tight deadlines. I've never met someone who cares about their craft with such a high level of professionalism, heart, and dedication. She completely shattered our expectations and delivered results far greater than I ever hoped for. 'Above and beyond' doesn't even begin to describe how impressed we are with her. Pamela is, without a doubt, the greatest realtor by a mile. If you need a listing agent, she is the one!”
