Charlotte Luxury Homes Market

March 2025 Update: Prices Up, Sales Up 

 
YEAR-OVER-YEAR TRENDS IN CHARLOTTE REGION'S LUXURY SINGLE FAMILY HOME MARKET 
 
New Listings and Inventory
 
In March 2025, the luxury home market saw a 36.5% increase in new listings compared with March one year ago. Inventory levels also experienced a rise, increasing by 22.8% from the same month one year ago. These changes indicate a replenishment of market offerings, providing more options for potential buyers.  
 
Supply and Demand Dynamics
 
The months supply of homes for sale declined by 3.2%, settling at 3.1 months compared with 3.2 months in March 2024. This reduction, however slight, underscores the continued prevalence of a seller's market within the luxury segment of Greater Charlotte's housing market. A seller's market is characterized by a limited supply of homes relative to demand, which can lead to competitive bidding and upward pressure on prices.
 
Price Trends
 
The market witnessed a robust appreciation in home sale prices in March 2025. The median home sale price surged by 10%, reaching $1,520,000, its highest level in 2025. The average home sale price also saw an increase of 8.1%, amounting to $1,806,947. Additionally, the price per square foot rose by 6.8%, now standing at $409. These price trends reflect the strong demand and relatively limited supply within the luxury home market.
 
Sales Activity
 
Along with the positive price trends, closed sales experienced an increase of 22.2% in March 2025 compared with the same month the previous year. Pending sales also showed an encouraging improvement, rising by 34.2% year-over-year. This increase in pending sales indicates there is a healthy pipeline of future closed sales.  
 

List to Sale Price Ratio

The median list to sale price ratio experienced a slight decline of 0.9%, dropping to 98.3%. This ratio measures the final sale price as a percentage of the initial list price and provides insight into the negotiation dynamics between buyers and sellers. The slight decrease indicates that sellers may be accepting marginally lower offers than they did one year ago.

 

Buyer Foot Traffic and Showings

Buyer foot traffic, measured by the number of showings per listing, declined from 7.1 showings in March 2024 to 6.8 showings in March 2025. The marginally lower foot traffic clearly did not impact either sale prices or sales in March 2025. On average, luxury homes underwent approximately 12 showings before going under contract, declining by two from the previous year. 

 

Days on Market

The median days on market for luxury single-family homes increased by four days, reaching nine days in March 2025. It's noteworthy that this is the third consecutive month of declines in median days on market in 2025. The average days on market saw a more substantial increase of 13 days, rising to 51 days compared with March 2024. These increases indicate a slight deceleration in the pace at which homes are selling, potentially reflecting heightened buyer scrutiny and/or a more deliberate purchasing process. By the same token, the 51 average days on market in March 2025 are the lowest compared with February and January 2025.

 

Conclusion

The Charlotte region's luxury single-family home market in March 2025 presents a complex picture of supply, demand, and price dynamics. While inventory and new listings have increased, the market remains firmly in favor of sellers. Prices continued to rise along with closed and pending sales. The slight decline in buyer foot traffic and increased days on market suggest a more measured approach by buyers. Overall, the Charlotte region luxury housing market continues to  exhibit resilience and robust demand, with a promising outlook for pending sales in the coming months.

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker, it is great that Charlotte's luxury home market is strong, and it will most likely stay this way through the summer. Those looking to sell or buy a luxury home will be in great hands with you as their Realtor.

Beth Atalay good morning to you, Beth, and so great to "see" you. Trust you are doing well. Luxury homes continue to be a bright spot in our real estate landscape in the Charlotte region.

Thank you so much Nina Hollander, Broker, always great to be here, I truly enjoy conversing with my ActiveRain friends. I know you are doing an awesome job representing your buyer and seller clients regardless of the price-point.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Beth Atalay thank you, Beth. I've always had an approach to my clients of treating them all to white glove service regardless of their price-point. I believe that's one big reason 85+% of my business is repeat and referral.

Good morning Nina. A lot of numbers that can be seen differently by different eyes. In a robust market favoring sellers buyers would be wise to seek the counsel of an agent like yourself to navigate the waters and be in a position to make the best choice for themselves. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin hi Wayne... there are nuances to both seller and buyer markets which a person who isn't participating in on a daily basis could easily misunderstand to their detriment.

The market seems to be heating up a bit. Slightly lower rates and people pulling money out of the market. Maybe they are putting that money into houses?

Apr 16, 2025 06:48 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... I haven't seen that, as yet. No doubt some of that will happen.

That is truly an amazing market Nina Hollander, Broker . I am curious if you know where/why the Sellers are moving to?

Apr 16, 2025 08:34 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... if it's not my listing I'd have no knowledge of what a seller's motivation to sell might be. I certainly don't disclose that information about my sellers to buyer agents. People move for all the typical reasons: upsizing, downsizing, job relocations, divorce, death.

Apr 16, 2025 11:37 AM
Bob "RealMan" Timm

I understand your being guarded but I meant it as a very general question Nina Hollander, Broker . I was just curious as to if there was a reason there seemed to be an uptick in the most expensive market listings.

Apr 16, 2025 01:07 PM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Bob "RealMan" Timm Charlotte is a very affluent city and there's a lot of money here, both old and new.

Hi Nina- it's nice to see the luxury market doing well. A Buyer or Seller in the area would do well to contact you!

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... during the Great Recession the upper end of our market totally crashed. So far so good and not crash in sight.

The luxury market isn't something that I will ever be able to shop in myself, but I sure do enjoy helping others purchase luxury homes, haha.

Brian England hi Brian... I suspect that's true for many real estate agents.
