Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lincoln County real estate market. *
September 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 (Sep 2026).
Lincoln County currently sits in a seller’s market, with a market gauge of 18 indicating conditions lean toward those listing their homes. Tight inventory is a key driver, as months of supply has fallen to 1.7, well below West Virginia’s 4.1 months, meaning available homes could be absorbed quickly at recent sales pace.
Pricing trends show volatility driven by a small number of sales, with the typical home value down sharply year over year while the median list price has climbed nearly 58 percent in the same period. At the same time, sellers are testing higher asking prices, yet the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to about 91 percent and the share of homes selling above list price has dropped more than 60 percentage points from last year.
Activity on the ground reflects these mixed signals. Homes are selling faster than a month ago, with median days on market dropping to just 22 days, but new listings are down nearly 39 percent year over year even as closed sales have more than tripled and pending sales have risen about 17 percent, highlighting strong demand against limited supply. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate this fast-paced but uneven environment can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local real estate agent.

“Carli is awesome! She's on top of her game. She listened to my questions, concerns, and was extremely helpful in guiding me through the sales process.

I highly recommend Carli for her real estate prowes and old school work ethic.”

Buying a home and relocating from another state is stressful, and Cat has made everything as smooth and enjoyable as possible. She has gone above and beyond time and time again!

“Being out of state and selling my brother’s house seemed like a very daunting issue for which I had great concern. I was referred to Shawn Wright due to his kmowledge of the market, especially the area where my brother’s property was. Working with Shawn in the sale of my brother’s home went so smoothly, I felt I should be looking for a hidden problem but there was none. Shawn handled everything promptly and quickly from the first call I made to him. He knew the market and contacts better than anyone else with whom we had spoken. His growing up and living in Murfreesboro all his life gave me great confidence from the initial contact. He answered all my concerns and questions confidently and promptly. He responded to every text or call, even in the evening or on the weekend. I could not be happier (or more relieved) to have had the whole process completed and checked off my list.”
“I highly recommend Ms. Alice Wise without reservation to anyone buying or selling a home. She represented me in both capacities and delivered exceptional service and consistent professionalism throughout each transaction. As my "buyer’s agent", Alice took the time to understand my priorities, identified properties that aligned with my needs, and provided clear, thoughtful guidance from the initial search through negotiations, inspections, and closing. Her market knowledge, responsiveness, and attention to detail gave me confidence at every stage of the process. After such a positive buying experience, I asked Alice to represent me when it was time to sell my home. She developed a well-informed pricing and marketing strategy that generated immediate interest, and my home went under contract within two days. I will absolutely enlist her services for future Big Island transtransactions and highly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced, trustworthy real estate professional.”
