CHARLOTTE LUXURY HOMES MARKET: JANUARY 2026 UPDATE YEAR-OVER-YEAR TRENDS IN CHARLOTTE REGION'S LUXURY SINGLE FAMILY HOME MARKET  Charlotte Luxury Housing Market: What the Numbers Mean In January 2026, luxury home prices in the Charlotte region were noticeably higher than they were one year ago. The median sale price for luxury homes reached $1,620,912, up 11% year-over-year. On average, homes sold for just over $2 million, also up nearly 12%. Buyers are paying more per square foot as well, with prices rising compared with last year. A lower list-to-sale ratio suggests some sellers are overshooting on initial pricing and adjusting to meet buyer expectations.   Despite the increase in home sale prices, homes are taking longer to sell. Both the median days on market (49 days) and the aver...

What’s the Value of My Del Mar Home? Del Mar Home Sales for January 2026 Del Mar is a small seaside town and one of the more expensive communities in North San Diego County. According to the MLS the highest priced San Diego County property sold publicly was an oceanfront estate in Del Mar (sold in October 2025 for $49,999,999). It’s important for buyers and sellers to have up-to-date information about the local housing market conditions in Del Mar so they can make educated decisions about Del Mar homes for sale. The information in this report was taken from the MLS (the data are believed to be accurate at the time this report was written, but are not guaranteed, and do not include private/non-MLS sales).  READ MORE: Del Mar – Affluent Seaside Town (A Community Profile) Only 4 homes, all...

Home prices continued to edge higher in the fourth quarter of 2025, reinforcing the market’s overall resilience. Nationally, the median home price increased 1.2% year over year, reaching $414,900.At the same time, buyers saw some relief on the payment side. The average monthly mortgage payment on a single-family home declined 5.7%, dropping to $2,057 from $2,122 a year earlier. Lower interest rates were the primary driver behind that shift.By Q4 2025, the effective 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 6.31%, down from 6.73% one year earlier. That decrease helped offset higher home prices, especially for buyers focused on monthly affordability rather than headline values.Income trends moved in different directions. The qualifying income needed to purchase a median-priced home declined to ...

A Funny Thing I Learned While Walking Through a Listing…Recently, I was walking through a listing with a client, opening cabinets, checking storage, and pointing out features—just doing what we all do on showings.I opened a corner cabinet, watched the shelves spin out toward me, and for whatever reason, it hit me:“Where did lazy Susan cabinets even come from?”So naturally, I went down a rabbit hole and did some research.What I found was surprisingly fascinating.The Lazy Susan: A Spin Through HistoryHave you ever reached for something in the middle of a table and watched it rotate perfectly toward you? Or opened a corner cabinet and seen everything glide into view like a hidden carousel?That’s the magic of the lazy Susan—a simple rotating tray that’s become a kitchen staple worldwide. Bu...
