Waxhaw | Weddington | Marvin Housing Market Update

📈 YTD June 2026 vs YTD June 2025 

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in the Waxhaw, Weddington, and Marvin areas (28173 zip code), you’ll want to keep a close eye on the latest market trends. Known for luxury homes, top-rated schools, and a more suburban lifestyle just outside Charlotte, this area remains one of the most desirable in Union County.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or planning to sell, here’s what you need to know about home prices, inventory, and local housing trends in through June 2026.

Waxhaw, Weddington, and Marvin’s housing market in the first six months of 2026 showed a shift toward higher inventory, softer average pricing, and a slower pace of sales compared with the same period in 2025. 

📊 Home Prices: Slight Softening

Median Sales Price (YTD June 2026): $710,994
↓ 1.49% from $721,719 in YTD June 2025

Average Sales Price (YTD June 2026): $846,618
↓ 7.15% from $911,850 in YTD June 2025

What it means: Both the median and average sales prices are modestly lower than one year ago. However, this does not necessarily indicate a broad decline in home values. A changing mix of homes sold—particularly fewer upper-end transactions—can have a significant impact on both measures. Overall, pricing has remained relatively stable despite increased inventory and a more balanced market.

⏱️ Market Pace: Moderating

Average Days on Market: 53.33 days
↑ from 45.17 days in YTD June 2025 (+18.07%)

What it means: Homes are taking longer to sell than they were one year ago, reflecting a less frenzied market. Buyers have more time to evaluate properties, while sellers should expect marketing times to be longer than during the highly competitive conditions of 2025.

🏠 Inventory: More Homes = More Choices

New Listings (YTD June 2026): 831
↑ 7.64% from 772 in YTD June 2025

Active Inventory (YTD June 2026): 3,126 homes
↑ 13.67% from 2,750 homes in YTD June 2025

Months Supply of Inventory: 7.42 months
↑ from 5.86 months in YTD June 2025 (+26.62%)

What it means: Sellers continue to bring more homes to the market while inventory has grown at an even faster pace. With more than seven months of supply available, buyers have substantially more choices and greater negotiating leverage than they did a year ago. Although inventory remains elevated, the month's supply has moderated from recent highs.

👥 Buyer Demand: Holding Steady

Homes Sold (YTD June 2026): 493
↑ 0.61% from 490 in YTD June 2025

What it means: Closed sales are virtually unchanged from one year ago, demonstrating that buyer demand has remained relatively stable despite higher inventory and longer marketing times. Buyers continue to purchase homes, but they are doing so more selectively.

📈 List-To-Sale Price: Slight Softening

List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 98.52%
↓ from 99.05% in YTD June 2025 (-0.53 percentage points)

What it means: Sellers are still receiving very close to their asking prices, but buyers have gained a little more negotiating power than they had a year ago. Accurate pricing has become increasingly important as competition among listings grows.

💲 Price per Square Foot: Modest Decline

$248 per square foot (YTD June 2026)
↓ 4.62% from $260 in YTD June 2025

What it means: The average price paid per square foot has eased compared with last year. This reflects both the broader shift toward a more balanced market and changes in the types and sizes of homes being sold rather than a dramatic decline in overall property values.
