Watauga Home Market June 2026

The June home market is not surprising by most measures. Home sales are up. Sales values are up. Number of homes are the market are up. List to sales values are holding steady, around 96%. Average days for homes on the market are down. Average number of homes selling per month are up slightly. Odds of selling are up slightly. A low number of market rejected homes is holding steady.

On the other hand, some stats are ‘all over the place,’ one more sign the market is, hopefully, seeking balance. Homes under contract are down slightly in Watauga, up slightly in Ashe.  The amazingly high number of price reductions continues, indicating many homes are getting no or very few showings.

As always, it will be interesting to see what the market does as summer progresses. If it proves to be a typical summer market, we expect increased sales.
