Here’s how that compares to the surrounding area:

  • A small, modern single-story house at 216 E College Street in Franklinton features a gable roof, attached one-car garage, front porch with steps, and landscaped yard. The light-colored exterior has brown accents, surrounded by green grass and trees.
    216 E College Street, Franklinton, NC 27525
    • Price: $325,000
    • $236 Price per Sqft
    • 1,376 Sqft
    • 0.18 Acres
    • Sold on 2026-03-13
    • Price: ⬆️ (Sold for $5k more)

    • Sq Ft: ⬇️ (320 sq ft smaller)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ ($48 more per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (Brand new 2025 construction)

    This home on College Street represents brand-new construction, which typically comes with a price premium for those ‘never-lived-in’ finishes. It’s a smaller, one-story layout compared to the more spacious floor plan at 118 N Main Street. The home for sale is positioned well, offering more room to breathe and a classic Low Country style that fits the historic downtown vibe perfectly at a lower cost per square foot than this new build.

    🟡 A solid choice for buyers who value square footage and architectural character over a brand-new build.

  • A single-story gray house with white trim and a red front door, attached one-car garage, driveway, small front garden, and a grassy yard bordered by trees.
    11 Korea Street, Franklinton, NC 27525
    • Price: $330,000
    • $224 Price per Sqft
    • 1,471 Sqft
    • 0.32 Acres
    • Sold on 2026-06-09
    • Price: ⬆️ (Sold for $10k more)

    • Sq Ft: ⬇️ (225 sq ft smaller)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ ($36 more per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (Newer 2023 construction)

    Comparing 118 N Main Street to this newer ranch on Korea Street shows a classic trade-off between size and age. This property is a single-story home built just last year, which usually commands a higher price per square foot than a two-story home like the one for sale. When you account for the fact that 118 N Main Street gives you more total square footage and a prime Main Street location, the pricing between the two makes sense for the area.

    🟡 The home for sale offers more space for your money while staying within the same price bracket as smaller, newer homes.

  • A modern two-story house at 17 Collins Street, Franklinton, with a black and white exterior, three-car garage, long curved driveway, and well-kept lawn, surrounded by trees under a partly cloudy sky.
    17 Collins Street, Franklinton, NC 27525
    • Price: $525,000
    • $292 Price per Sqft
    • 1,800 Sqft
    • 0.56 Acres
    • Sold on 2026-02-13
    • Price: ⬆️ (Sold for $205k more)

    • Sq Ft: ⬆️ (104 sq ft larger)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ ($104 more per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (Newer 2019 build with detached apartment)

    This sold listing on Collins Street is a bit of a unique case because it includes a full detached apartment over the garage, which explains that much higher price point. While 118 N Main Street doesn’t have that extra rental unit or guest suite, it offers a very similar walkable downtown lifestyle for a significantly lower entry price. You’re getting the same great location without paying the premium for the additional living space and 4-car garage capacity found here.

    🟡 A great option if you want the downtown lifestyle without the high price tag of a multi-unit property.
