Move-Up Homes in Southport: Market Data
Data as of (MLS snapshot; listings below update live)
ClickyRegina Drury Real Estate Group's review of MLS data as of October 20, 2026 shows 12 active listings for Southport move-up homes, with a median of 69 days on the market. These listings made up about 3% of the 441 active listings in Southport, across every property type. In addition, 3 listings were under contract, and 15 sold over the past six months, roughly 3 a month. That works out to about 4.8 months of supply, a level generally read as a balanced market. The median asking price was $396,950, about $261 per square foot, for a median of 1,473 square feet. That price was $27,190 below the $424,140 median for all active listings in Southport, across every property type. The largest share of these listings was in Boiling Spring Lakes and South Harbour Village. If you're buying, a 69-day median on the market usually means there is some room to negotiate. If you're selling, pricing close to recent comparable sales is what gets homes moving.
