“Chris EXCEEDED our expectations. We have not bought a home in over 20 years and his knowledge, professionalism and above and beyond availability to answer every single question we had was impressive. He knew a house was out there for us and he found it! From the start of house hunting to closing, he was constantly in contact (even once during a Christmas vacation!). Moving from 14 hours away, he was our eyes and ears, and we cannot thank him enough for his true honesty. We will definitely use Chris again (but we hope to never sell!) Thank you does not even seem like enough, and we are so grateful for your expertise Chris!”

St. James real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the St. James real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in St. James has been building, with 96 homes on the market in March 2026 and a 7.4 months of supply. New listings reached 29 for the month, up from a year ago, while pending sales held steady at 22 compared with last year. With the market gauge at 44, conditions lean toward a seller’s market but give buyers room to negotiate.
Pricing is adjusting to this slower pace. The typical home value sits around $655,000, which is about 68 percent higher than Brunswick County’s $390,000, even after a 13.82 percent drop over the past year. Sellers are also seeing buyers negotiate, with the average sale-to-list ratio at about 0.964 and no recent sales closing above list price.
List prices are reacting as well, with the median list price at $659,000 in March and projected to shift to about $526,000 in April. Homes are taking longer to sell overall at a median of 117 days on market, despite a sharp month-over-month decline in that figure, and nearly 23 percent of listings saw a price cut. Projections show inventory edging up to 99 homes and typical values ticking slightly higher to $656,250, suggesting a period of price fine-tuning rather than rapid swings. Buyers and sellers who want to make sense of these shifts can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert agent who understands St. James.
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!”
