Price Trends and Value Movement

Overall property values in Harnett County have continued to rise over the past few years, even though the most recent 12-month period shows a slight pullback in median sold price.

• Median estimated property value: $329,800
• 12-month change in estimated value: +4.7%
• 12-month change in median sold price: approximately -3.1%

In plain terms, values are still higher than they were a few years ago, but the pace of appreciation has cooled. This is typical of a market normalizing after a strong run-up rather than a true downturn.

Inventory and Market Activity

Inventory has increased to just under five months, which is still within a balanced range. Sales volume remains healthy, and the high sold-to-list ratio above 100% shows buyers are willing to pay aggressively for the right homes.

Recent three-month snapshot (sampled single-family activity):

• New listings: mix of mid-range and higher-end homes, with a median list price in the mid-$400,000s
• Pending sales: median around the mid-$300,000s
• Closed sales: ranging from roughly $150,000 up to the mid-$400,000s
• Distressed sales: minimal presence in the market

Days on market have lengthened into the 50+ day range, so buyers have a bit more time to make decisions, but well-priced and well-presented properties still move.

What This Means for Homeowners

For homeowners in Harnett County, equity remains solid even if the market isn’t climbing as fast as it was. A slight softening in sold prices does not erase the gains of the last several years.

This is a good time for:

• Pre-listing appraisals to price accurately in a more competitive environment
• Estate and probate appraisals where credible support is required
• Divorce appraisals needing objective, defensible valuations
• Refinance and potential PMI-removal when supported by current value

What This Means for Investors

For investors, Harnett County offers a combination of rising long-term values and slightly more negotiability in the short term. The high sold-to-list ratio is a reminder that strong deals still require sharp underwriting.

• Opportunities in growing areas near Angier, Lillington, Dunn, and commuter corridors
• Potential in cosmetic rehabs where buyers still pay premiums for turnkey condition
• As-is and ARV appraisals critical for avoiding overpaying in a more nuanced market
