CHARLOTTE REGION 2021 REAL ESTATE REPORTWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW... 2021 saw the continuation of the strong housing market in the 16-county Greater Charlotte region. Buyer demand continued to exceed pre-pandemic levels straining inventory, sales momentum, and housing affordability throughout the year.  Home sales in the Charlotte region reached their highest-ever levels in 2021.

Inventory remains at historic lows in the Greater Charlotte region. Although more houses were listed  in 2021 than in 2020, inventory couldn't catch up with demand. The lack of inventory throughout 2021 was the most critical aspect of the Charlotte market, as it has bee...
