Local Market Snapshot: June 2026 in the Longleaf Pine REALTORS® Region
What REALTORS® Are Seeing Across Our Communities Last Month
June housing data across the Longleaf Pine REALTORS® region reflects a market with more available inventory, stronger contract and closing activity, and continued price growth—alongside a slower, more deliberate pace for many buyers and sellers.
Across all residential properties, new listings declined 8.3 percent year over year to 899. Pending sales increased 6.6 percent to 707, while closed sales rose 3.8 percent to 734. Homes for sale increased 10.5 percent to 2,535, bringing the region to 4.1 months of inventory. The median sales price increased 2.1 percent to $309,900, while the average sales price rose 1.4 percent to $319,904.
The year-to-date picture remains steady. Through June, new listings were up 0.8 percent, pending sales increased 2.3 percent, and closed sales rose 0.5 percent compared with the same period last year. The year-to-date median sales price increased 0.3 percent to $299,900, while the average sales price rose 1.3 percent to $310,218.
The broader rolling 12-month view shows continued activity at higher price points. From July 2025 through June 2026, pending sales increased 1.0 percent overall. The $350,000-and-above range posted the strongest gain, rising 6.5 percent, while new-construction pending sales increased 3.1 percent. The rolling median sales price rose 2.7 percent to $299,000, with townhouse and condo properties recording the strongest price growth at 16.8 percent to $198,000.
Regional Overview
June’s numbers point to a market that remains active while continuing its transition toward more balanced conditions. Buyers have more choices than they did a year ago, but properties are also taking longer to move from listing to accepted offer. Days on market across all residential properties increased 15.1 percent to 61 days, while sellers received an average of 98.7 percent of their most recent list price.
That combination reinforces the importance of accurate pricing, thoughtful preparation, and a strong marketing strategy. Buyers remain engaged, but they have more time and inventory to compare before making a decision.
Existing Single-Family Homes
Existing single-family homes remained the largest source of regional activity. New listings increased slightly, rising 0.7 percent to 733, while pending sales jumped 13.2 percent to 532. Closed sales were nearly unchanged at 511, up 0.2 percent year over year.
Inventory increased 10.0 percent to 1,595 homes, while months of supply rose from 3.3 to 3.6. The median sales price increased 1.8 percent to $290,000, and the average sales price rose 0.7 percent to $309,738. Days on market increased from 36 to 42 days, indicating that this segment remains active but is moving at a more measured pace.
New Construction
New construction continued to provide a significant share of available inventory. Closed sales increased 9.4 percent to 187, despite a 38.5 percent decline in new listings and a 4.1 percent decrease in pending sales.
Inventory rose 11.3 percent to 780 homes, producing 5.0 months of supply. The median new-construction sales price increased 1.6 percent to $348,323, while the average price rose 2.6 percent to $369,093. New-construction homes received an average of 99.8 percent of list price and spent 104 days on the market.
The segment continues to offer buyers additional choices, particularly for those comparing incentives, financing options, move-in timelines, and available resale inventory.
Townhouses and Condominiums
Townhouse and condo activity produced mixed results in June. New listings declined 19.3 percent to 46, and pending sales fell 26.7 percent to 33. Closed sales, however, increased 38.5 percent to 36.
Inventory rose 11.1 percent to 160 properties, with 5.4 months of supply. The monthly median sales price increased sharply to $242,000, while the average sales price rose 14.5 percent to $206,050. Because this is a smaller segment with fewer monthly transactions, individual sales can have a greater effect on percentage changes. The rolling 12-month median of $198,000, up 16.8 percent, provides additional evidence of longer-term price growth in this property type.

Looking Ahead
June’s housing data shows a region with greater inventory, positive pending and closed-sales activity, and continued price resilience. Buyers have more options, but desirable and well-positioned properties are still attracting meaningful attention. Sellers, meanwhile, should be prepared for longer marketing timelines and increased competition from both existing homes and new construction.
The market is not moving uniformly. Demand remains especially strong in certain attainable price ranges, while higher-priced inventory is growing and generally taking longer to sell. County-level showing activity also varies considerably, underscoring the importance of local knowledge.
For buyers and sellers alike, this remains a market where local expertise matters. Conditions continue to vary by county, by price point, and by property type, making hyper-local guidance more important than ever.
