The homebuyers in the Charlotte housing market have dealt with a persistent seller’s market, which has shrunk inventory and driven up home prices.⁣

Charlotte's real estate market continues to boom without being affected by the pandemic. Homes are selling quickly, inventory is low and prices are rising fast.⁣

Continuing the Charlotte-area housing market's hot streak, home sales and the median price paid for those homes rise in October 2021. ⁣

Low mortgage interest rates, high demand, and a shortage of homes continue to fuel the Charlotte real estate market and drive prices higher. ⁣

Charlotte is a magnet for newcomers, which means there will be enough demand to keep home prices from falling too far. It is seeing an influx of new residents from expensive cities in the North and West.⁣
