Charlotte Home Price Trends (Fall 2025)
Let’s start with the facts:
-
Median home prices in Charlotte are up 3.2% year-over-year
-
Most homes are selling at or just below list price, depending on condition and location
-
Days on market have increased slightly, giving buyers a bit more leverage
-
Updated, move-in ready homes are still commanding top dollar
It’s not the wild market of 2021, but it’s also not a downturn.
What’s Driving Prices Right Now?
-
Low InventoryEven though listings have increased slightly, we’re still way below where we should be for a “balanced” market. Less supply = stable pricing.
-
Relocation DemandPeople from high-cost states like California, New York, and Florida are still moving to the Charlotte region—and they’re bringing strong cash offers with them.
-
Rising Rental CostsWith rent prices up nearly 7% across the city, more people are jumping into homeownership to lock in a payment and start building equity.
-
Interest Rates Holding SteadyRates have leveled out in the mid–6% range, giving buyers more predictability and confidence to make offers
📍 What Neighborhoods Are Hot Right Now?
Some of the biggest year-over-year price increases are happening in:
-
Huntersville & Cornelius (Lake access + proximity to I-77)
-
Plaza Midwood & NoDa (Historic charm + walkability)
-
Southwest Charlotte (New construction + value-friendly prices)
-
Ballantyne (Continued expansion and highly rated schools)
So... What’s Your Home Worth in This Market?
Online estimates like Zillow and Redfin are often way off. They don’t know:
-
If you’ve upgraded the kitchen
-
What condition your roof is in
-
How your home compares to others that just sold nearby
That’s where a custom home valuation comes in.
As a local Realtor, I don’t just plug in numbers—I come walk the home, compare it against recent data, and give you an honest range of what you can expect in today’s market.
Thinking of Selling in 2025? Don’t List Without This First:
If you’re even thinking about making a move in the next 6–12 months, knowing your current value is the first step. Why?
-
It helps you plan financially
-
You’ll know if it’s worth upgrading or selling as-is
-
You can act fast when the time is right
Until next week!
