• At the same time, homes are spending a bit more time on the market, meaning competition is slightly less frenzied than during the peak bidding war years. myhomenorthcarolina.com+1

Why this matters for you

• For buyers: More inventory means more choices. You’re no longer forced into bidding wars for every home. You can take your time, compare neighborhoods, and negotiate with a little more leverage. With mortgage applications and buyer activity picking back up, there’s momentum  but still good opportunity to act before things get hectic again.

• For sellers: Prices are still rising, buyers are active, and although the market has shifted toward more balance, demand remains strong. This means you can benefit from good pricing and favorable selling conditions, especially if your home is well positioned and well prepared.

• For both: The Charlotte area remains a strong long term investment. Job growth, migration into the region, and desirable lifestyle amenities keep the market healthy. homesimply.com+1
