Holly Ridge, NC Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Holly Ridge, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Holly Ridge sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 199
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $380,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $214
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $290,000 and $605,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 199 closed sales in Holly Ridge over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $380,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $290,000 and $605,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 198 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $174 and $250 per square foot.

The Holly Ridge angle

Holly Ridge stretches its middle half across a wider band than most markets we track, which is the first thing to know before quoting anything for an address here. Width means the citywide midpoint is doing a lot of summarising. $380,000 marks the middle closing, and with $290,000 and $605,000 far apart, the properties on either side of that mark can be very different from each other. Half of all sales sit outside the band altogether, so the true range is wider still. That is enough to build a comp set that shares property type, size range and condition with the subject rather than one assembled from whatever closed nearby. Because the stretch from $380,000 up to $605,000 is the wider half, comps that lean larger or better finished will lift an estimate more than equally mismatched comps would lower it.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Holly Ridge address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
