Charlotte home sales fall, but prices continue to rise

The number of homes sold in the Charlotte region fell again in April, dropping nearly 3% compared with April 2025.

That’s according to the latest data from Canopy, the Charlotte-area Realtor association. The decline is driven by mortgage rates above 6%, along with rising costs and inflation.

Despite the slowdown in sales, prices continue to climb. The average sale price for a home in Charlotte rose less than 1%, to just over $522,000.
