Southern Pines real estate right now is a little calmer… but it’s definitely still competitive.

Inventory has increased, buyers have a little more room to negotiate, but well priced homes are still moving quickly.

Current snapshot
• Inventory: 4.3 months
• Median list price: $515K
• Avg days on market: 81
• Sold to list ratio: ~92%

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Southern Pines, Pinehurst, or Moore County, I break down the market every week.

#southernpinesrealestate #ncrealestate #marketupdate #remaxsoutherncoast

Winning Influencer of the Year for 2025 is something I do not take lightly.

This industry can feel noisy. Fast. Competitive.

But I have always believed influence is built through consistency, clarity, and community. It’s the weekly market updates. The educational videos. The open houses. The local involvement. The systems behind the scenes. The conversations that never make it to social media.

I show up because I care deeply about serving well. I study the market because my clients deserve strategy, not guesswork. I invest in community because real estate is never just about property. It is about people.

To my clients, colleagues, friends, and referrals who continue to trust me across the coast and the Sandhills… thank you. Your support is the reason I get to do what I love at a high level.

2025 feels intentional. Focused. Expansive.

And this is just the beginning.

Southern Pines market update is live 🌿

The market is shifting. Inventory, pricing, and buyer activity are not what they were last year, and that matters if you are planning a move.

Thinking about buying or selling in Southern Pines?

Send me “SP” for a neighborhood breakdown or message me to set up a quick strategy call 📊✨

One of the hardest things… our Olive 🫒 (aka Ollie) went over the rainbow 🌈 bridge yesterday. She was our first baby and has been through it all with us - she walked down the aisle when we got married, she moved across the country (and back), she’s been in every house, and she greeted all three girls. Our hearts are broken but thankful for the time we had.

Moore County’s market is shifting… are you paying attention?

Inventory and buyer activity are changing, and strategy matters more than ever. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just planning ahead, the right timing makes a difference.

Message me “Moore” for a personalized breakdown of your neighborhood or let’s set up a quick strategy call. #moorecountyrealtor #realestatemarket #remaxsoutherncoast

Moore County is settling into a steady fall market. Prices are holding, inventory is opening up and buyers finally have a little breathing room.

Avg price is up almost 3% from last year. Inventory sits at 4.57 months, and homes are taking around 79 days to sell. About 125 homes closed in the last 30 days, which shows buyers are still moving with purpose.

If you want a neighborhood-specific breakdown for Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Whispering Pines, or anywhere in Moore County, just message me. I’ve got you covered.
