After months of luxury sales running ahead of 2025 while inventory stayed tight, August brought some movement closer to last year’s numbers. It’s too early to call it a trend, but there are definitely some changes worth keeping an eye on.

Single-family luxury sales were up 1.72% year over year, while inventory was just 1.9% below August 2025. Even more interesting, the median sold price increased 4.5% and days on market dropped 25.7%.

The takeaway? Luxury buyers may be selective, but they’re still ready to act when the right property comes along.

As always, I’ll be watching the numbers and keeping you in the know. If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the luxury market, give Carl Johnson a call at 919-880-0904.

There was plenty happening along the coast, and the numbers tell some interesting stories from community to community. Emerald Isle had 126 active listings, Morehead City added 35 new listings, and Beaufort led the way in sales with 38 homes closed.

And Pine Knoll Shores? They came in with an impressive $952,265 average sales price!

Those are just a few of the highlights. So what was happening in the rest of the Crystal Coast?

Take a look at the August numbers and see how your favorite coastal community stacked up!

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply keeping up with the market, I’m always happy to talk real estate and help you make sense of what the numbers really mean.

BUYER CLOSED! 50 Indian Trail in Sanford! This time we went on a road trip. Searching for the right fit for this buyer. There are always specific needs, and this time was not different.

This home is in Carolina Trace in Sanford. A gated, golf course lake community. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on a half-acre golf-course lot.

I’m always excited to help my clients make that next move, and this one was a great journey from start to finish.

From finding the right home to navigating all the moving pieces along the way, having a solid strategy and the right people in your corner makes all the difference.

Congratulations to my clients on their new chapter!

Ready to make your next move? Give Carl a call at 919-880-0904.

The Triangle real estate market shifted gears in August. The latest numbers show a little change in momentum across the region. New listings were down 0.9%, closed sales dipped 5.5%, and the average sales price decreased 0.9%.

Now, that doesn’t tell the whole story, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.

As we head into the fall market, the big question is whether this is simply a short-term adjustment or the start of a broader shift.

For buyers and sellers, the next few months could give us a much clearer picture of where the Triangle market is headed.

One thing’s for sure… we’ll be watching the numbers!

Thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about what these changes could mean for you? Give Carl Johnson a call at 919-880-0904. Let’s talk real estate!

Housing affordability continues to be a big topic across the Triangle, and a new federal law is bringing some changes that could have an impact on housing costs, development and the overall market.

Could a new federal housing law make buying a home more affordable?

But the big question is, what could this actually mean for the Triangle?

The News & Observer takes a closer look at the new law, what it is designed to do, and whether it could make a difference for local homebuyers and communities.

This is Carolina trace in Sanford. It’s a gated community the home I’m doing a final walk-through today was built in 1985. There’s lots of different styles of homes there’s homes along the lakes. There’s even lots available that some new construction is being built on. Beautiful community and a much different price point than the greater Triangle area.
