“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”

Stem real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Stem real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Stem is currently tilted toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge of 13 and only 2.7 months of supply available. With just 8 homes on the market and 6 already in pending status, buyers face limited options even as overall activity stays modest.
Home values sit around $350,000, closely matching Granville County’s typical value of $350,000 as well. However, the typical home value in Stem edged down about 2.5 percent month over month, while the projected value for April is slightly lower at $345,500, suggesting subtle softening at the high level even as list prices rise.
Listing behavior tells another part of the story, with the median list price at $375,425 in March and projected to climb to about $390,892 next month. Homes are taking longer to sell at a median of 126 days on market and half of sellers reduced their price, yet none of the recent sales closed above list and the average sale-to-list ratio sits very close to 1.00, so pricing is staying tight. Inventory is expected to drop from 8 to about 5 homes, and only 2 new listings came on in March, which keeps leverage in sellers’ hands even as buyers gain some negotiating room from longer timelines. Whether buyers want help competing for limited listings or sellers hope to navigate pricing and timing, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with an expert local agent in Stem.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
