“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
St. James is seeing a steady flow of homes moving through the market in this rolling three-month view. There are 166 active listings, with 70 homes sold and 78 currently under contract, all notably higher sales and pending activity than a year ago. New listings are down year over year, which is helping keep supply from growing despite the stronger demand.
Pricing has adjusted even as activity has picked up. The typical home value sits around $739,630, slightly lower than a year ago, while the median list price has climbed more than 10 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices. Buyers are negotiating some discounts, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 97 percent and only about 6 percent of sales closing above list price.
Time on market has lengthened, with the median home taking about 85 days to sell in this rolling period compared with much quicker sales a year earlier. Months of supply is around 4.6, which, along with a seller’s market gauge reading, indicates conditions still lean toward sellers even with slower individual sales timelines. With these mixed signals in inventory, pricing, and pace, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional who understands the St. James market and can guide them through their next move.

“Judy had our house listed and under contract within 72 hours. Very knowledgeable of the local market and very good at helping a first time seller navigate the process. Would use her again.”
“We truly had the best experience working with Liz! She was responsive, knowledgeable, and always went above and beyond for us. She made buying our home so easy and stress-free, and we always felt like she had our best interests at heart. She communicated every step of the way with us, checking in with any update no matter how big or small. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jeff Lesley and his team provided service beyond my expectations. I had to have new flooring installed in my unit. Since I live out of town, he selected samples of flooring and emailed them to me to make a select. He recommended an attorney for me to use and a handyman to install my flooring. In addition, his team returned equipment and picked up keys for me. Therefore, I didn't have to make a 2 1/2 hour drive to the beach. Jeff and his team are very professional. I couldn't have picked a better agent. I highly recommend Jeff.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the experience of selling my home with Nichole! From day one, her professionalism and communication made the process completely stress-free. She guided my wife and I through every detail and negotiated a final sale price that exceeded our expectations. If you want a knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely caring agent, look no further than her! She is the best there is!”
“Chris is a truly exceptional sales professional as well as an honest and reliable realtor. I have recommended him to neighbors . I appreciated his above and beyond service as much as his low stress and friendly manner .”
“From start to finish, Pam was friendly, professional, great communicator, patient, and knowledgeable of the complete process. Pam listened to our needs and wants and strived to help us find a new home that was a perfect new start.”
“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.”
“Professional and hard working. Always answered my questions and was helpful in every way.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We consider Jenny to be not only our real estate broker but, in addition, we consider her to be a family friend!”
“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. I trusted Christian and she did not let me down! I would recommend Christian for any real estate needs!”
“Ms. Dysinger has spent a great deal of time during the last 6 months on the phone and or texting me to keep me informed as to the sale of my property in Scotland County, NC. She has maintained a professional attitude that I find lacking today in America. I would have no hesitation in contacting her should I have need of buying or selling property in North Carolina!”
“Nic was a pleasure to work with! He kept us up to date on all issues, returned calls, texts, and emails very promptly. Well Done Nic!”
“Bea Desmond was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable about the market, always responsive to the many questions we had & always the utmost professional! We could not have asked for a better agent.”
“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!”
“She was wonderful to work with, and I could not have asked for a smoother process!”
“Dave Robertson was very patient and got the job done! He was very positive and professional throughout this experience!”
