New Listings
The August 2025 data shows that new listings in the Charlotte area continue to strengthen after two years of steady recovery. The rolling 12-month total reached 89,606, compared to 77,832 in August 2023 and 94,542 in August 2022. While still slightly below the highs of 2022, this consistent upward trend signals a healthier flow of homes entering the market, giving buyers more options than in recent years.
This steady rise in listings reflects growing seller confidence and improved inventory stability. Buyers now have greater selection, easing some of the intense competition seen in the past, though demand remains strong enough to keep homes moving. If the upward trajectory continues into fall, it may create more balanced conditions between buyers and sellers heading into 2026.
Pending Sales
The Charlotte market’s pending sales are showing signs of stabilization. In August 2025, there were 60,996 pending sales, up from 59,908 in August 2024 and close to the 61,236 recorded in August 2023. This rebound from last year’s dip suggests that buyer activity is holding steady.
While pending sales haven’t surged, the year-over-year improvement points to a more balanced dynamic between buyers and sellers. Demand is holding firm even as more homes come to market, which could help keep pricing trends from swinging too sharply in either direction. This stability positions the market for a smoother transition into the fall and winter seasons.
Sales Price
The Charlotte area’s median sales price has continued a steady climb over the past three years. In August 2025, the median sales price reached $375,000, up from $365,000 in August 2024 and $340,000 in August 2022.
While prices flattened during much of 2023, momentum picked back up through 2024 and into 2025, bringing the market to a new high. This consistent upward trend highlights the continued strength of home values in the region, even as buyers and sellers adapt to shifting conditions.
Days on Market
The latest data shows that homes in the Charlotte region are spending significantly more time on the market compared to the past two years. In August 2023, the median days on market stood at 14, which increased modestly to 16 days by August 2024. However, by August 2025, the median jumped to 25 days—marking the highest level in recent years.
This steady upward trend indicates that buyers now have more time to make decisions, and homes are no longer moving as quickly as they once did. For sellers, this could mean adjusting expectations around pricing and timing, while buyers may benefit from less competition and more room to negotiate.
The Charlotte housing market in August 2025 shows a mix of stability and shifting trends across key indicators. New listings continued to climb, reaching 89,606 over the past 12 months, up from 77,832 a year earlier. This steady rise in inventory suggests more options for buyers and a healthier flow of homes entering the market compared to last year. Pending sales, however, remained relatively flat year-over-year, coming in at 60,996 for August 2025 compared to 59,908 in August 2024, highlighting that buyer activity has held steady even as more listings become available.
Home prices remain on a slow but consistent upward climb. The median sales price reached $375,000 in August 2025, compared to $365,000 the year prior, reflecting a $10,000 gain over the past year. While price growth remains modest, the more striking change lies in market pace—median days on market jumped to 25, up sharply from 16 in August 2024. This increase in time to sell shows that while buyers still have demand, they are moving more cautiously, creating a more balanced environment between buyers and sellers.
