Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory in St. Stephens has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 6% year over year and months of supply climbing to 5.4, more than double last year’s level. At the same time, new listings have surged by about 38% from a year ago, while homes sold are also modestly higher, indicating buyers have more options but sales activity is still moving.
Pricing is adjusting to these shifts, as the typical home value is down slightly by around 4% year over year even though the median list price is up a bit more than 2%. Even with more inventory, the average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 98%, and roughly 18% of homes are still selling above asking, suggesting sellers who price correctly can achieve strong outcomes.
Timing dynamics show some mixed signals, with median days on market now at 48 in this rolling three-month window and a larger share of homes going off the market within two weeks. With pending sales down about 10% from last year, buyers may have a bit more room to negotiate while sellers face a more balanced environment than in prior years. Whether you are buying and trying to sort through more choices, or selling and aiming to stand out on price and presentation, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local St. Stephens agent who understands these conditions.

“We can't speak highly enough of Jill. We met her when we were in the very early stages of exploring NC before we even knew if we were serious about moving. We walked into her open house and she was so sweet and knowledgeable about the area. We kept in contact for several months and then my husband ended up getting a job in Charlotte. We were looking for houses while still living in CA which has an added level of stress, but she made everything so easy. She's not pushy but gives her opinion and it's so easy to see that she wants you to be in best house for you. This was also our first time buying a house and she made me a feel so comfortable with the whole process. We loved working with her and highly, highly recommend her!”
