North Carolina Housing Market Update – September 2025

By Rachel Brumfield, CRP, Howard Hanna Allen Tate Relocation Services 

Entering Q4 2025, housing activity across North Carolina reflects a market that’s cooling but rebalancing in healthy ways.

• Active listings statewide rose over 30% year-over-year, with metros like Charlotte (+36%) and Raleigh (+34%) leading supply growth.
• Median list prices are steady at roughly $430K, up slightly from last year, while days on market have lengthened by about a week to 62 days.
• Price reductions affected roughly 1 in 4 listings, concentrated in mid-priced segments — a sign that sellers are adjusting to a more balanced market.
• Inventory in the South (including North Carolina) now exceeds pre-pandemic norms, offering buyers and relocating employees more options than at any time since 2019.

More available housing, stable pricing, and moderating competition mean better conditions for talent attraction and workforce relocation — especially in high-demand metros like Charlotte, The Triangle, and the Triad.
