🏡 MARKET MONDAY | ROWAN COUNTY, NC
Local numbers. Local knowledge. A plan for your next move.

Here’s a look at the September 2026 housing market:

💰 Median listing price: $329,900
🔑 Median sold price: $291,250
🏘️ Active listings: 1,214
📅 Median days on market: 67

What could this mean for YOU?

🏡 BUYERS: Explore available homes, compare condition and value, and get preapproved so you’re ready when the right property comes along. Depending on the home and the seller’s circumstances, there may be opportunities to negotiate price, repairs, or closing costs.

📣 SELLERS: Make your first impression count! Thoughtful pricing, attractive presentation, professional photography, and easy showing access can help your home stand out. Review competing listings and buyer feedback with your agent as your sale progresses.

📍 REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL: Countywide numbers provide perspective, but your neighborhood, acreage, updates, and property type help tell your home’s individual story. The median days on market isn’t a prediction of how long your particular home will take to sell.

The median listing price and median sold price reflect different groups of properties—the difference does not represent a typical negotiated discount.

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, downsizing, or investing, we’re here to help you make informed decisions throughout Rowan County and surrounding communities.

✨ Curious what your home could sell for—or what your budget could buy? Call or text us for a personalized market analysis or home search!
