The Charlotte region wrapped up 2025 with steady growth and signs of a more balanced market. Closed sales in December increased 3% compared to last year, and total sales for the year were up nearly 3%, showing continued buyer activity despite higher interest rates.
Home prices remain resilient. The median sales price rose to $400,000 in December, up almost 4% year-over-year, while the average sales price increased nearly 8%, reflecting ongoing demand across price points.
Inventory continues to improve, giving buyers more options. Active listings are up 15.8%, and months of supply rose from 2.5 to 2.8 months. Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, with average days on market increasing from 50 to 60 days, indicating a shift away from the ultra-fast pace of recent years.
What this means for you:
- Sellers still benefit from solid prices but need thoughtful pricing and strong presentation.
- Buyers have more choices and a bit more negotiating power than in past years.
- Well-prepared strategies on both sides are more important than ever.
