Questions sellers ask
How many homes don't sell in southeastern NC?
365 listings of homes in southeastern NC expired or were canceled in March 2026, against 1,515 that sold — about 1 in 5 didn't sell. Homes that sold went for a median 97.8% of their first asking price after 44 days on the market.
Why do listings fail to sell?
Usually price, condition or both. Homes priced right from day one sell faster and closer to their first price; homes that chase the market down with cuts often still don't sell.
Homes only, listings that ended that month. "Didn't sell" = the listing expired or was canceled. Days to sell count from the first day listed, including relistings. Totals only — no individual listing is shown. Source: Hive MLS data compiled by the Buddy Blake Team.
