New Listings
The Charlotte area housing market continues to show strong momentum, with new listings on the rise for the second consecutive year. As of September 2025, there were 46,745 new listings over the past 12 months — up from 42,875 a year earlier and 38,536 the year before that. This steady growth highlights increasing seller confidence and signals a more dynamic market environment where buyers have more opportunities to find the right home.
The continued influx of new listings suggests that the Charlotte area market is becoming more balanced, offering greater flexibility for both buyers and sellers. With more homes entering the market, competition among listings may also help moderate price pressures, creating a healthier and more sustainable pace for the region’s housing activity.
Pending Sales
Pending sales in the Charlotte area are showing signs of renewed activity after a gradual slowdown over the past two years. As of September 2025, there were 34,729 pending sales over the past 12 months — up slightly from 32,700 in September 2024. This marks the first notable year-over-year increase since 2021, suggesting that buyer activity is stabilizing and confidence is returning to the market.
While overall sales volumes remain below their 2022 highs, the recent uptick points to a potential rebound in demand as market conditions become more favorable. With more listings becoming available and pending sales, the Charlotte area housing market is showing healthy signs of balance and renewed momentum heading into the coming months.
Sales Price
The Charlotte area’s median sales price continues its steady climb, reaching $410,000 in September 2025, up from $400,000 a year earlier and $392,950 in 2023. This consistent growth of about 2.5% year-over-year highlights the area’s ongoing housing demand and market stability, even as conditions evolve.
Buyers remain willing to pay competitively priced homes, while sellers continue to benefit from solid appreciation over time. The steady rise in median prices underscores the Charlotte area’s strength as a desirable and resilient real estate market.
Days on Market
Homes in the Charlotte area are taking slightly longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 22 days in September 2025, compared to 13 days a year earlier and just 12 in 2023. This gradual increase points to a more balanced market where buyers have a bit more time to make decisions and sellers are adjusting to new market rhythms.
While homes are spending longer on the market, the pace remains historically reasonable, especially considering the area’s sustained growth in both prices and listings. The shift suggests a maturing market—one that continues to attract strong demand but with a healthier tempo favoring thoughtful transactions over rushed offers.
The Charlotte area housing market in September 2025 reflects steady growth and a continued shift toward balance. New listings climbed to 46,745 over the past 12 months, up from 42,875 a year earlier, indicating stronger seller confidence and more options for buyers entering the market. Pending sales also showed positive momentum, rising to 34,729 in September 2025 from 32,700 the year prior—an encouraging sign that buyer activity remains strong even as inventory expands.
At the same time, home prices continued their consistent upward trend, with the median sales price reaching $410,000, up from $400,000 last year. This moderate increase highlights sustained demand and market stability. However, homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market increasing to 22, up from 13 a year earlier. The longer selling period signals a cooling from the rapid pace of recent years, allowing both buyers and sellers more breathing room in negotiations while maintaining a fundamentally healthy and resilient market.
