New Listings
New listings in the Charlotte area have continued a steady upward climb over the past three years, signaling renewed movement and confidence among homeowners. Rolling 12-month activity rose from 38,504 in November 2023 to 43,376 in 2024, and now to 47,051 in 2025. This consistent growth points to a market where more sellers are stepping forward and inventory is rebuilding at a healthy, measured pace.
The increase in available homes gives buyers more options and helps ease some of the tightness that has defined recent years. With more listings coming online and demand in the region staying strong, the market is finding a more balanced footing—supporting a positive, sustainable environment for both buyers and sellers.
Pending Sales
Pending sales in the Charlotte area have moved through a long period of recalibration and are now showing meaningful signs of renewed momentum. After peaking in early 2022, demand gradually cooled through late 2022 and into 2023, settling into a more sustainable rhythm. By the end of 2023, pending activity stabilized in the low-33000s, creating the foundation for a healthier, more balanced market. That stability proved to be a turning point.
Throughout 2024 and into 2025, pending sales have steadily strengthened. Rolling 12-month totals climbed from 32,222 in November 2023 to 33,374 in November 2024, and now to 34,659 in November 2025. This gradual, consistent rise points to buyers returning to the market with growing confidence. With demand firming and inventory expanding at the same time, the Charlotte area continues shifting toward a more optimistic and sustainable housing landscape—one where buyers and sellers can engage without the extremes of past years.
Sales Price
Median sales prices in the Charlotte area continue to reflect steady, sustainable growth. Over the past three years, the rolling 12-month median has risen from $392,500 in November 2023 to $400,764 in 2024, and now to $411,559 in November 2025. This trajectory shows a market that’s appreciating at a measured and healthy pace—strong enough to signal confidence, yet moderate enough to keep long-term affordability within reach for many buyers.
The consistency of this upward movement points to a region that remains highly desirable, supported by population growth, a resilient job market, and an expanding range of housing options. Rather than the rapid spikes seen in earlier cycles, the Charlotte area is settling into more predictable, sustainable price appreciation—an encouraging sign for both current homeowners and prospective buyers planning for the years ahead.
Days on Market
The Charlotte area continues to move toward a more balanced housing landscape, and the median days on market tell that story clearly. After the ultra-fast pace of 2022—when homes regularly went under contract in just four days—the market has gradually eased into a more sustainable rhythm. By late 2023, typical marketing time had risen into the low teens, and throughout 2024 and 2025 that steady upward trend continued, reaching 23 days in November 2025 on a rolling 12-month basis. This shift reflects a marketplace no longer defined by urgency, giving buyers space to make decisions without the pressure cooker conditions of earlier years.
Even with this increase, homes are still selling in under a month on average, which keeps the Charlotte area firmly in healthy territory. Instead of signaling weakness, the longer marketing time suggests improved balance between supply and demand, more options for buyers, and a calmer environment for sellers who want thoughtful, qualified offers. The region remains desirable—but now with a pace that feels more measured, intentional, and accessible to a wider range of buyers.
Summary
The latest data shows the Charlotte area moving through a healthy, sustainable phase of growth. New listings have climbed steadily for three consecutive years, reaching more than 47,000—a clear sign that seller activity is strengthening and options are steadily expanding for buyers. Pending sales, while lower than the 2022 peak, have stabilized and are now trending upward again, reflecting renewed buyer engagement as the market adjusts to more balanced conditions. At the same time, median sales prices continue their consistent rise, moving from $392,500 to $411,559 over the past two years, underscoring the region’s ongoing desirability and the long-term value homeowners continue to see.
Homes are also spending more time on the market, with median days on market rising to 23 days—still well under a month and far from signaling weakness. Instead, this shift points to a calmer, more thoughtful market where buyers have room to breathe and sellers are competing in a more normal environment. Taken together, these trends paint a picture of a maturing Charlotte housing market: one that is growing, stabilizing, and offering a healthier balance between opportunity and pace.
