Pleasant Garden stayed tight even as more homes sold

Real estate, Pleasant Garden

The number that matters most right now: just 8 homes for sale in Pleasant Garden. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted that for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is down 57.9% from the same months a year ago. Fewer choices means buyers have to be ready to move, and sellers get real attention when the price is right.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put months of supply at 1.2 for ZIP 27313. That is down 3.3 months from a year before. Meanwhile, Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes nationally in September 2026. Pleasant Garden is running far leaner than the national picture.

More homes sold, and prices climbed

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 20 homes sold in Pleasant Garden during those three months. That is up 53.8% from the same period in 2025. The median sale price came in at $414,850, up 22.7% year over year. Prices rose a lot, but not every home sold above list. Only 15% sold above asking, down 8.1 points from a year before.

Homes are moving, but not all of them fast

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 52.6% of Pleasant Garden homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is down 3.7 points from a year ago, so not every home snapped up instantly. Median days on market was 28, just 2 days longer than last year. Homes are still moving, just not always in a flash.

The sale to list price averaged 99.4%, up 0.8 points from a year before. Sellers are getting close to their asking price. Pricing a home right still matters, though. The 15% that sold above list shows the ceiling is real.

What is happening with rates nationally

Borrowing costs are a real factor for buyers right now. CNBC reported the average contract rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage hit 7.30% as of September 30, 2026. Mortgage News Daily put it even higher, at 7.58% that same day, according to CNBC. Realtor.com noted rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That shapes what buyers can afford, which in turn shapes offers.

Nationally, the Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Pleasant Garden's 22.7% price gain over the same window, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator, is well ahead of that national pace.

Realtor.com also noted that 20.8% of listings nationally took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. Pleasant Garden's tight supply makes that less of a local story for now, but it is worth watching.

One last thing: these numbers cover all of ZIP 27313. One street in Pleasant Garden can read very differently from the ZIP as a whole. Pending sales stood at 19, up 18.8%, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator, so demand is still there. But your specific block matters.
