Hampstead NC Real Estate Market Update August 2026

Hey, everyone. Today's market update is gonna be the Hampstead area up in Pender County, just north of Wilmington, North Carolina. Hi. My name is Brian Schrader. I'm with the Coastline NC real estate team at Blue Coast Realty Corporation down here in Southeastern North Carolina. So today, we're gonna talk about Hampstead. We're gonna go look at some some of these charts here to get an idea of the marketplace. As you can see here on this chart, we've gone back from 2023, going back three years to the present day, and this is the average sales price in Hampstead. It's around $5.48. So that line is kinda tapered off a little bit, flattened out, from the previous year. New listings that are hitting the market, you can see here back in 2024, there wasn't a whole lot of new listings that are hitting the market, but you can see now that it's definitely crept up a little bit. The amount of closed sales are following that trend line, so there's a lot of activity. Hempstead is still a very, very popular area. You can see here months of housing supply in the next chart. Here, we reached around four point six months of housing supply. So the market's going from basically not a whole lot of inventory to more of a normal market to where there's more of an equilibrium between buyers and sellers. You can see days on market have crept up there to around sixty, sixty, seventy days on market for sellers trying to sell their house. What buyers and sellers are getting as a percentage of, you know, off the list price, you can see that that has definitely trend downward. So buyers are able to get, you know, more negotiation as far as off sales price, incentives, things of that nature, which is kind of more of a it kinda brings us to more of a healthy market, so to speak. You look back, you know, a few years back, it was multiple offers. Things were flying off the market left and right. So it's definitely calmed down a bit, but still a very good good market in general. See I see no crash or anything like that in the near future. So this chart here is gonna give you the, average price per square foot in Hampstead is around $231 a square foot. So that is the, the Hampstead market.
