Charlotte-Area Sales Volume Trends

The graph above depicts the sales volume of previously owned homes sold in the Charlotte area in the past several years, based on data from the Canopy MLS. Currently we are displaying data through the end of January 2026, and we will start including February 2026 data in this chart soon (as the February sales numbers continue to get reported).

How Seasonal Are Home Sales in the Charlotte Area?

Home sales in the Charlotte area are actually fairly seasonal. For example, 2,457 previously owned homes sold in the month of January, 2025 (single family, townhome and condos combined). In June of that same year, 67.2% more homes sold (i.e., 4,107 homes).

Sales volumes typically peak in late spring and early summer. And sales volumes normally reach their lowest point closer to Thanksgiving and the Christmas / New Years holiday season.

That being said, people sell homes at all times of year. Most of the catalysts that cause people to buy and sell a home – job changes, marriage, divorce, illness, expanding or contracting household sizes, etc. – occur all year round.
