Q1 2025 Real Estate Market Update
From Rachel Brumfield, Allen Tate Relocation & Corporate Services
The market is shifting toward balance. After years of inflated conditions driven by low inventory and high demand, most regions are now seeing a return to more normalized activity.
Inventory is up across nearly all major markets – levels not seen since before the pandemic. This gives buyers more options and creates a healthier environment for everyone.
Price appreciation has settled into a healthy 1–3% range, and homes are selling at 97–98% of list price. Average days on market is just under two months, with mountain areas slightly higher at 80–90 days—both within healthy norms.
In the Charlotte Region, inventory is rising but remains below demand, especially with continued corporate relocation driving growth. Sellers benefit from strong demand, while buyers are gaining slightly more time to decide.
