Pleasant Garden prices rose faster than the national pace

Real estate, Pleasant Garden

Pleasant Garden home values grew nearly seven times faster than the national average. That is the one number every homeowner here should know right now.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 19 homes sold in ZIP 27313 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 90% from the same months in 2025. More people chose Pleasant Garden, and prices followed.

How Pleasant Garden stacks up against the nation

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Pleasant Garden's 17.7% gain is a very different story. For homeowners here, that points to stronger local value growth than the national trend.

For buyers, it is a real consideration. Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. Borrowing costs stayed high, yet Pleasant Garden prices kept climbing.

Supply is tight, and homes are moving

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found only 14 homes for sale in Pleasant Garden during those three months. That is down 26.3% from a year ago. Fewer choices tend to push prices up, and that is what happened here.

Homes that did sell moved in a median of 29 days, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is 4 days shorter than the year before. Not every home sold fast, but the trend moved in the right direction.

Nearly half of homes went under contract within two weeks

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 46.7% of Pleasant Garden homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is up 9.9 points from a year ago. Well-priced homes found buyers quickly.

Homes sold at 99.2% of list price on average, the Real Estate Data Aggregator reported. That slipped 0.7 points from a year ago, a small dip. Pricing still needs to be close to right.

The share of homes that sold above list price was 15.8%, down 14.2 points from a year ago. Bidding wars are less common now. That is worth knowing before you set a number.

The national picture adds context

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of U.S. listings took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. Pleasant Garden did not follow that pattern. Local prices moved up while national cuts rose.

CNBC reported that a monthly payment on a median-priced home took up 33% of a median family's income in 2025, up from 26% in 2022. Affordability is a real pressure for buyers everywhere, including Pleasant Garden.

These numbers cover all of ZIP 27313. One street in Pleasant Garden can read very differently from the ZIP code as a whole. Your block, your home style and your price point all matter.
