August 2026 NC Housing Report

While total active listings remain relatively steady up 1.3% year-over-year at 69,632, a 13.1% decline in closed sales signals a cooling transaction velocity across North Carolina. With overall inventory shifting into a balanced market at 5.81 months, REALTORS® should focus strategic pricing efforts on higher-tier properties ($875K+), where inventory expands up to 13.1 months, while lower price brackets (<$375K) maintain tighter supply dynamics.
