Fewer Sales, More Inventory Push Lawson Toward A Balanced Market In Quarter 1-2025
In Lawson, both average and median home sale prices declined in the first quarter of 2025—down 8% and 1%, respectively, compared with the same period a year earlier. This decrease is likely due to the mix of homes sold rather than due to any notable drop in property values in this highly sought-after Waxhaw neighborhood. The average price per square foot rose to $217, a 3% increase year-over-year.
The list-to-sale price ratio dipped slightly to 99.2%, down 2% from Q1 2024, but up 2.2% from the previous quarter ending December 31, 2024. Days on market climbed to 43, a significant increase from the same quarter last year, though an improvement from 68 days in the prior quarter.
Just four homes sold in Q1-2025, marking a 60% drop from the previous year. Meanwhile, inventory grew 88% to 15 homes for sale, with eight of those listed during the first quarter. As a result, Lawson’s months of supply increased to 3.75, signaling a shift toward a more balanced market.
