One of the most telling shifts in our Charlotte market lately: about 68% of buyers received seller concessions over the past month—putting us among the national leaders. That’s a significant uptick, with concessions climbing nearly 9 points compared to last year. For buyers, this means more negotiation leverage than we’ve seen in quite some time, even as homes continue to move. As someone who’s spent nearly two decades guiding clients through Charlotte’s ever-changing real estate landscape, I’ve learned that flexibility and clear-eyed advice make all the difference. Sellers are showing more pricing realism, and that’s helping to keep deals moving rather than stuck in a standoff. For those considering a move, it’s encouraging to see the lock-in effect easing a bit, while pent-up demand is starting to stir. In my experience, the best results come from honest consultation and making smart, informed decisions—especially in markets like this.
