Since then, high prices and economic uncertainty have scared many consumers off, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/data-center\/existing-home-sales\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">multiple years<\/a> with home sales near 30-year lows.<\/p>\n<p>This slowdown hasn&#8217;t played out evenly across the country, though. As buyers searched for affordability, some lower-cost areas heated up and have become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/most-competitive-housing-markets-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hottest housing markets in the country<\/a>. But many cities are dealing with much slower-than-normal markets.<\/p>\n<p>So, how is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/11819\/NC\/New-Bern\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Bern, NC<\/a> housing market doing in 2026? Are homes selling, or are buyers and sellers sitting on the sidelines? To find out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Redfin Real Estate<\/a> analyzed listings across the city to see how many homes are selling and if sales have risen or fallen in the last year. Redfin used several metrics to gauge activity, such as pending sales, active listings, and days on market. Metro-level data is not seasonally adjusted; national data is seasonally adjusted. All data represents and represents the monthly median for May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanfordherald.com\/news\/state\/are-homes-selling-in-charlotte-in-2026\/article_3a37c664-cfdd-58a7-aca0-64aead49447a.html\" class=\"tnt-asset-link\" aria-label=\"Are homes selling in Charlotte in 2026?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe\/WZNAAAAEElEQVR42mM8U88ABowYDABAxQPltt5zqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" alt=\"Are homes selling in Charlotte in 2026?\" class=\"img-responsive lazyload full default\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" data- data-\/><br \/>\n                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanfordherald.com\/news\/state\/how-long-does-it-take-to-buy-a-house-in-hickory-in-2026\/article_9bf05206-d4ea-593f-b063-ebb7deb6886a.html\" class=\"tnt-asset-link\" aria-label=\"How long does it take to buy a house in Hickory in 2026?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAQAAAAe\/WZNAAAAEElEQVR42mM8U88ABowYDABAxQPltt5zqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" alt=\"How long does it take to buy a house in Hickory in 2026?\" class=\"img-responsive lazyload full default\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" data- data-\/><br \/>\n                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Are homes selling in New Bern?<\/p>\n<p>Homes sold: 193 (-0.5% YoY)Pending sales: 210 (-10.4% YoY)Median days on market: 62 (+28 days YoY)Active listings: 932 (+12.7% YoY)Share of listings sold above original list price: 19.1% (+2.6 ppt YoY)Share of inventory unsold after 60 days: 50.4% (+6.1 ppt YoY)<\/p>\n<p>Are homes selling nationwide?<\/p>\n<p>Homes sold: 308,446 (+5.2% YoY)Pending sales: 350,173 (+4.5% YoY)Median days on market: 49 (+3 days YoY)Active listings: 1,483,839 (+0.7% YoY)Share of listings sold above original list price: 25.8% (-0.8 ppt YoY)Share of inventory unsold after 60 days: 53.1% (+0.3 ppt YoY)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"fizkes \/\/ Shutterstock Are homes selling in New Bern in 2026?
