Southport currently has 68 homes on the market, with 25 new listings feeding fresh options into the pipeline. Contract activity is picking up, with 18 pending sales and a months-of-supply figure of 5.2 that tilts conditions toward sellers.
Pricing is adjusting alongside this flow of homes, as the typical home value sits at $568,500, down 5.09% from a year ago but sharply higher month over month. Sellers are testing higher list prices at a median of $675,000, and only about 20% of listings have had a price drop, while roughly 15% of recent sales closed above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.97.
Homes are taking longer to move, spending a median of 129 days on the market, which is up both month over month and year over year, even as new listings have jumped 92.31% and inventory is up 23.64% from last year. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to a higher typical home value of about $667,750, a projected median list price near $782,750, and inventory edging up to 72 homes, keeping Southport above Brunswick County’s typical value of $386,000. With Southport still labeled a Seller's Market on the local gauge, both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can guide their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Working with Liz was an amazing experience during the purchase of our first home! Liz was pivotal in us figuring out our ideal home style and what was around that fit our needs. Once we found THE home for us Liz worked even harder to get us the best price and all of the best inspectors and lawyers to complete the process. We couldn't imagine going this process again with anyone but Liz and will be referencing her to all of our friends!”
“He came prepared agreed with me about the price. Knew my dream, made it happen. He is congenial, I was very happy to work with him.”
“Chris Roper was absolutely outstanding and exceeded all of my expectations. As a first-time homeowner, I was unfamiliar with many aspects of the home-buying process, but Chris went above and beyond to guide me every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly, showed incredible patience, and made the entire experience feel manageable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to purchase a home. He is kind, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional at what he does.”
“Neil is great! He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely refer him to anyone that asks if I know a local agent.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sherry. From start to finish, she made the home-buying process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Sherry was knowledgeable, patient, and always quick to answer my questions. Their guidance helped me find the perfect home, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend Sherry Pitman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Liz was my saving grace in a chaotic journey of selling my house. She was patient, communicative, and worked hard with marketing and communication with buyers agents. She was a recommendation of a friend who I have thanked 10000 times. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Agent Pronto connected me with Christian Kohler. She was AMAZING! We were on the same page with every step of the process. She was very knowledgeable about the area and even different neighborhoods.

“Oscar was great to deal. I will use him to buy my next home.”
“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
