Longs sales jumped while inventory stayed tight
The number that changes what you should do next: the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 432 homes sold in ZIP 29568 (Longs) in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 35% from the same period a year before. More buyers closed here. That is the headline.
At the same time, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted only 419 homes for sale in 29568. That is down 21.1% from a year before. More sales, fewer choices. Buyers are working with a thinner shelf.
Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings had price cuts in September, the highest share since October 2022. That is a real signal. But Longs is not the national market.
In 29568, the Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price at $329,900, up 3.7% from a year before. Prices here moved the other way from the national drift.
Homes also moved faster. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market in 29568 at 81 days. That is 38 days shorter than the same period a year before. Not every home sold fast, but the middle moved quicker.

What the national picture adds
Rates are not helping buyers anywhere. Redfin reported a weekly average mortgage rate of 7.32% for the four weeks ending October 25, 2026. Realtor.com noted rates topped 7% for the first time since January 2025.
Redfin also put the median monthly mortgage payment at $2,786 for that same period. That is the cost buyers are weighing right now, everywhere.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Longs, at up 3.7%, outpaced that national figure in the three months ending August 31, 2026.
Realtor.com counted 1.16 million active listings nationally, growing year over year. In Longs, the Real Estate Data Aggregator showed the opposite: inventory fell. That split is worth knowing.
- In the three months ending August 31, 2026, Longs (ZIP 29568) closed 432 sales, up 35%, while homes for sale dropped 21.1% to 419. The median sale price rose to $329,900. Homes took a median of 81 days to sell, 38 days faster than a year before.
- Nationally, price cuts were rising and rates were above 7%.
- Longs moved differently from the national trend in this period.
One more thing: these are ZIP-code numbers. One street in Longs can read very differently from the whole 29568 picture. A subdivision, a price range, a road can have its own story inside these totals.
