• Median sold price around $65,000; median listing price near $67,450.

Market snapshot

Over the past year, 29 residential properties changed hands in Harrells, with a median sold price near $65,000, according to property data platforms tracking 12-month trends. Separate listing data shows a median asking price around $67,450, keeping the community among the more affordable rural markets in southeastern North Carolina.

Realtor.com data recently characterized the area as a buyer’s market, indicating that available inventory exceeds current demand. With a relatively small pool of total properties and limited annual sales volume, individual transactions can noticeably influence short-term trends.

What’s for sale now

Active listings show roughly 20 homes and homesites on the market. Current options include:

• Larger single-family homes priced around $600,000 to $1.1M, including multi-bedroom properties on sizable lots.
• Smaller homes under $200,000, including compact residences near the $180,000 range and fixer-upper opportunities below $100,000.
• Vacant residential lots generally priced between about $35,000 and $80,000, offering options for custom builds or manufactured homes.

Several properties have been on the market for extended periods, while a handful of lots and homes were listed within the past few weeks, suggesting selective but ongoing activity.

Outlook

With prices still well below national medians and inventory tilted toward buyers, Harrells continues to attract interest from value-focused purchasers, investors and buyers seeking rural land. As spring typically brings more listings across North Carolina, local inventory levels and days on market will be key indicators to watch in the coming weeks.
