March 2025 Cornelius Housing Report

Prices, Sales, Inventory, Days on Market Trends

 

HOME SALE PRICES

The average home sale price in March 2025 was $676,322, down 15.8% from February’s $803,204 and 14.26% lower than March 2024’s $788,837.

 

The median sale price in March 2025 was $537,750, up 16.9% from February’s $460,000, but 2.52% lower than $551,665 one year ago.

 

The price per square foot was $283 in March, down 8.12% from February’s $402, and 3.08% lower than March 2024’s $292.

 

In March, Cornelius homes sold between $203,000 and $2.6 million. Changes in sale prices likely reflect the price mix of homes sold, not a drop in home values.

 


DAYS ON MARKET

Average days on market in March 2025 rose to 50 days from 47 in the previous month of February. One home listed for 256 days skewed this figure; without it, the average days of market would have remained at 47 days. Year-over-year, days on market increased 35.14% from 37 days.

 


CORNELIUS HOUSING INVENTORY

Housing inventory in March 2025 was 250 properties, up 10.13% from February and 26.9% higher than March 2024. Inventory also exceeded March 2023’s 220 properties.

 

Despite an increase in inventory and new listings in March 2025, the months supply of inventory declined to 4.39 months from 6.05 months in February and from 6.82 months in January, pushing Cornelius back into a balanced market between buyers and sellers.

 


NEW LISTINGS

New listings surged to 94 in March 2025, up 67.86% from February and 80.77% higher than in March 2024. This was the highest number of new listings in Cornelius since June 2022.

 


CLOSED SALES

Home sales rose to 57 in March 2025, up from 37 the previous month and 21.28% higher than March 2024’s 47 sales. March 2025 sales were higher by 20 properties compared with March two years ago. 

 


LIST TO SALE PRICE RATIO

Homes sold for 98.13% of list price in March 2025, slightly higher than February’s 97.75%, but lower than 99.69% in March 2024.

CORNELIUS: A CHARMING RETREAT IN GREATER CHARLOTTE 

Situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Norman, Cornelius, North Carolina, offers a serene and vibrant lifestyle that has captured the hearts of residents and visitors alike.

 

Offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and a thriving community spirit, people are drawn to this charming town some 30 minutes from Charlotte.  Cornelius has the perfect combination of natural beauty, small-town charm, and urban convenience.

 

With its stunning lake views, strong sense of community, excellent schools, and thriving real estate market, it's no wonder why people from all walks of life are choosing to call Cornelius home  

 

A primary draw of Cornelius is its proximity to Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina. With over 520 miles of shoreline, the lake provides endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including boating, fishing, water sports, and lakeside picnics. Cornelius residents enjoy easy access to marinas, boat launches, and waterfront parks, allowing them to fully embrace the lake lifestyle year-round.  

 

 

Despite its tranquil ambiance, Cornelius is an easy drive away from the vibrant City of Charlotte, offering the best of both worlds. Residents can enjoy the peace and quiet of small-town living while still having access to all the amenities and cultural attractions of a major metropolitan area.  

 

For families considering a move to Cornelius, the town offers top-rated schools and a safe, family-friendly environment. With a variety of parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities, there's no shortage of activities to keep children entertained and engaged. Additionally, the low crime rate and well-maintained neighborhoods provide parents with peace of mind.

Hi Nina- What...a Balanced Market!!!  That's something I haven't heard in a while. I would love to walk on the path in the video.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... in reality, it's only a balanced market on paper. Not so balanced when you go out looking for a house, especially if it's in a more affordable price point.

Interesting market report for Cornelius, NC. As you note, the difference in value would be closer related to what sold and not necessarily a decline in values, especially with that stretch differential of 6 figures.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 hi Ed... the number swing from one month to the next. Obviously, I watch them but I don't make huge assumptions based on a one month swing.

Hi Nina:

There is certainly a wealth of information here, about Cornelius itself as well what's been happening with the key housing market indicators. No doubt you can help buyers and sellers make sense of it all for their particular buying and selling decisions.

That makes so much sense since I think that most buyers, while they may have a price range in mind, start with a focus on WHERE they want to be for whatever reasons. And certainly for those who are relocating having community information is important.

Jeff Dowler, CRS hi Jeff... thanks. I like to combine community information with a market report hoping I catch people who want community information and those looking for market reports. Two birds with one stone.
