Charlotte is still growing — and our housing market is showing that strength loud and clear. New listings have jumped 11.4% year-over-year, giving buyers more homes to choose from, while demand remains solid with pending sales up 6.1% and closed sales up 1.3%.
Prices continue to rise at a steady, sustainable pace. The median sales price is up 2.5% from last year, a sign that equity continues to build for homeowners and that Charlotte remains a high-demand market for newcomers and local movers alike.
Inventory has increased nearly 29%, and months of supply has grown from 2.6 to 3.2 months, easing the pressure on buyers — though we are still far from a “buyer’s market.” Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, with days on market increasing 32.5%, which means pricing and presentation strategy matter more than ever.
What This Means for Sellers
You still have the advantage — but strategy wins.
More listings on the market means buyers are comparing. Homes that are:
· Well-priced
· Well-presented
· Well-marketed
…are selling for the strongest returns. With buyers having more choices, overpricing can quickly lead to sitting longer and eventually selling for less than if priced properly from the start.
If you’re considering selling in the next 6–12 months, this is the perfect time to prepare so you hit the market with impact — not hesitation.
What This Means for Buyers
Take a breath — this is your moment to shop smart.
More inventory means:
· More negotiating power
· More options that actually fit your needs
· Fewer frantic bidding wars.
Meanwhile, prices are still climbing — so waiting only makes the road more expensive. Buying now means taking advantage of today’s selection and locking in tomorrow’s appreciation.
