Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Swansboro real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Swansboro’s housing numbers shifted noticeably from January to February 2026, with typical home values moving down about 12.6 percent to roughly $299,000 while the median list price eased to about $422,475. Homes also moved a bit faster month over month, as median days on market dropped nearly 19.4 percent to 52 days.
Year-over-year trends paint a different picture. Typical home values are down about 29.7 percent compared with last year. Inventory has fallen roughly 55.6 percent over the same period, even after a recent 60 percent month-over-month bump to 8 active listings. New listings are also lower than a year ago, off about 41.2 percent, and pending sales are down about 37.5 percent.
Even with softer prices, limited supply and a market gauge reading of 8 indicate Swansboro still leans toward a seller’s market, especially compared with Richmond overall, where typical values are closer to $400,000 and projected to reach $420,000. Only about 14.3 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under full price at 0.991, suggesting buyers have some room to negotiate even in a tight environment. With projected March changes pointing to a typical value near $277,500, a median list price around $411,212, and inventory edging up to 9 homes, both buyers and sellers can benefit from letting Agent Pronto connect them with a knowledgeable local agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

James knows the market and how to make things happen. 48hrs on market and contract was on house!

“This was the second property we have both purchased and sold with Sandi Crawford as our real estate agent. Throughout all aspects of the transaction, Sandi expertly represented us and our best interests. She helped us see how undervalued the sales had been in our neighborhood and helped us sell for top of market. We receive a full list offer in under 48-hours (with 6 others as backups!) and with inspection repairs waived by the purchaser. Sandi helped us choose the perfect time to list our home when it was able to get the most recognition on the market, and showed us how we could reach our financial objectives with the sale. I would absolutely recommend Sandi Crawford to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, as she is the utmost professional in all aspects of what a real estate agent should be. She understands her numbers, understands her market, and understand her people! A+++ representation, start-to -inish!”
