Harnett County is seeing robust activity across its housing market in 2025, driven by affordability, steady population growth, and increasing demand for suburban and semi‑rural living. Here are some of the key real estate and population stats that make Harnett County appealing right now.
As of October 2025, the median price for a single‑family home in Harnett County was about $318,000.

Harnett County’s population is estimated at around 142,942 residents, supporting continued demand for housing.
The majority of housing units in the county are owner‑occupied (about 64%), reflecting community stability and long-term investment potential.
These trends reflect a county that remains more affordable than some of the high‑priced urban and suburban markets nearby, yet continues to appreciate — making it attractive for both end‑users and investors.
Moreover, Harnett County offers a variety of living arrangements: from modern developments and suburban neighborhoods to more rural, spacious lots and smaller town settings.
Compared to major urban or coastal markets, Harnett County offers competitive home prices for much of the Triangle-adjacent region, allowing buyers to get more space, land, and value for their money. Many buyers are trading up from cramped city living to homes with yards, room to grow, and proximity to nature — without losing access to employment centers or amenities.
With growing population and consistent home sale activity, the county remains desirable without pricing out all buyers. The relatively active inventory gives buyers options while sellers benefit from steady demand.
Harnett County’s housing stock includes a mix of single‑family homes, rural properties, new developments, and traditional small-town dwellings — giving a wide range of price points and lifestyles.
As more people move into the area, Harnett County is seeing gradual growth in services, infrastructure, and community amenities. This makes it attractive for families, retirees, and professionals seeking a stable environment that’s still growing.
