“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).
Surf City’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 points to a mixed but cooling trend. Typical home values are down slightly year over year, even as the median list price has climbed sharply over the same period. At the same time, active listings have fallen compared with last year, while homes sold have edged up.
In the most recent rolling window, sellers are asking more with a median list price around the mid-$700,000s, yet the typical sale is closer to the low-$500,000s, suggesting buyers have gained some negotiating power. Fewer new listings and a modest drop in pending sales over the past year indicate that some would-be sellers and buyers may be pausing or taking longer to commit.
Inventory conditions show months of supply hovering in the mid-4 range, a level that aligns with the area’s seller’s market designation but is less heated than in prior years. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, and only a small share are closing above list price, even though the average sale-to-list ratio still sits just under full asking. For buyers trying to read these shifting signals and for sellers aiming to price and time their listings well, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with a Surf City agent who understands these current dynamics.
Learn more about what Surf City has to offer.
Surf City offers residents a welcoming coastal community with easy access to beaches, parks, schools, and local services that together support an active, balanced lifestyle.
Surf City feels distinctly relaxed compared with busier nearby beach towns, offering a slower pace without giving up convenience or character. Locals and regular visitors share the same stretches of sand, fishing spots, and coffee counters, which helps the community feel close knit rather than purely seasonal.
Life here revolves around the water. The wide shoreline and public access points near the Surf City Ocean Pier give residents daily opportunities for sunrise walks, surf sessions, and family outings. On the sound side, quiet streets lead to small docks and kayak launches that frame evening views over the Intracoastal Waterway. Community events and small businesses shape daily life, from gatherings at the town’s official parks and recreation programs to story time and resources at the Surf City Community Center & Library.
Dining and downtime stay local. Seafood spots near the pier, coffee at Soundside Park, and casual nights out along the main corridor mean you rarely need to leave town, though Wilmington and Jacksonville are within comfortable reach for work and larger services. Families often look to nearby schools such as Surf City Elementary and Surf City Middle when planning a move.
Whether you already call Surf City home or hope to make it your next address, timing and preparation matter in this coastal market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a qualified local agent to help you buy confidently or sell strategically.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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 .”
“Anthony Love showed superior knowledge of the market and got me asking price for my home! He's one of the best agents that I've ever worked with and I will be using him again!”
“We are so glad that we found Anna Hurst! All thanks to your service, we might not have ever known about her.”
“Ms. Simpson truly is an exceptional agent, time and time again she has worked deligently on our behalf. Always a hard worker and a superb communicator, she has always shown her humble expertise and knowledge, a well versed subject matter expert. Above all, her patience and loyalty set the standard for our trust in her abilities to make the process work for all that is involved.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Me & my husband were so nervous to buy a house for the first time, but Kim made it so easy & simple. She helped us every step of the way! We appreciate her so much for helping us find our perfect home.”
