U.S. Housing Market Rebalances Slowly
As we move through late Q3, I’m seeing the national housing market continue its slow rebalancing—an encouraging sign for buyers who’ve been waiting for more opportunity. Active inventory is up about 4% compared to last year, although the pace of new listings has softened for the first time in several weeks. This shift aligns with the seasonal pattern I notice every fall: homes are spending an average of 61 days on the market, just as they did last year. New listings are down roughly 1% year-over-year, bringing us back to 2025 levels, as affordability pressures keep some buyers on the sidelines and sellers hesitant to test the market.

The median listing price now sits at $419,000—down about 1% from last year—with the price per square foot at $222, the lowest since early 2026. Higher inventory and continued elevated mortgage rates are gently tilting the scale toward buyers, yet overall, the pace remains measured rather than dramatic. In my 18 years serving New Bern and Eastern North Carolina, I’ve learned that these gradual market shifts require patience and a clear-eyed approach. Whether you’re dreaming of a waterfront retreat, a historic home, or a place in the country, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

More Homes Available: Opportunities Grow for Buyers
We’re seeing some interesting movement in our local housing market: New home listings have ticked up by 0.4%—the most inventory we’ve had since April. Overall, homes for sale are up 0.5%, reaching their highest level since May. However, pending home sales have dropped by 1.1%, marking a six-month low, as buyers continue to navigate higher costs and mortgage rates hovering around 6.65%. After nearly two decades helping buyers and sellers throughout New Bern and Eastern North Carolina, I know these numbers can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re drawn to waterfront properties, historic charm, or the serenity of rural land, understanding how shifts in inventory and demand affect your options is key. My goal is always to guide you with clarity and a steady hand—helping you make confident decisions, even when the market presents new challenges.
