Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Wilson County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Wilson County is relatively steady, with about 348 active listings in August and a neutral overall market gauge. New listings, however, have fallen nearly 18 percent compared with last year, even as homes sold jumped more than 21 percent. Pending sales moved the other way, dropping almost 12 percent year over year, suggesting some recent cooling in contracts despite solid closed activity.
Pricing is adjusting to these mixed signals. The typical home value is down almost 6 percent from a year ago, landing well below the statewide median sale price in North Carolina, yet list prices are slightly higher than last year. At the same time, sellers are conceding a bit more on price, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 97 percent and only about 11 percent of homes closing above list.
Speed of sale has been shifting too. The median days on market recently dropped sharply month over month to about six weeks, but is still slightly slower than last year, pointing to more measured buyer decision making. Months of supply sits at roughly three to four months, tighter than the state’s 4.6 months, which keeps conditions balanced between buyers and sellers. With these crosscurrents in inventory, pricing, and pace, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate Wilson County’s market dynamics.

Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top‑tier realtor.”
“Working with Pamela was an answer to our family's prayers. Selling a home can be a wild and stressful journey, especially when you are juggling a simultaneous purchase with shifting dates, but Pamela navigated all the twists and turns with ease and got our house sold in exactly 19 days! Her communication is top-notch, and she took so much of the burden off our plate, making a highly stressful situation feel easy and manageable despite the very tight deadlines. I've never met someone who cares about their craft with such a high level of professionalism, heart, and dedication. She completely shattered our expectations and delivered results far greater than I ever hoped for. 'Above and beyond' doesn't even begin to describe how impressed we are with her. Pamela is, without a doubt, the greatest realtor by a mile. If you need a listing agent, she is the one!”
