Union County Real Estate Market Update — August 2026
If you’re watching the Union County market — whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just keeping tabs on your home’s value — here’s what I’m seeing on the ground right now.
Inventory & Pace
Well-priced homes in Waxhaw, Weddington, and Marvin kept moving quickly, some still drawing multiple offers in their first week
Indian Trail and Monroe continue to offer buyers a bit more breathing room
Days on market actually tightened up compared to a year ago — this market has more pep than the “cooling” headlines would suggest
What I’m Seeing for Sellers
Pricing right out of the gate paid off in August
Homes that hit the market at a fair number and showed well kept selling at a healthy pace
Values across Union County are still trending up year over year
If a home has been sitting, it’s almost always a price story, not a market story — buyers are out there for the right home at the right price
What I’m Seeing for Buyers
Competition hasn’t disappeared in the most in-demand neighborhoods
Having your financing lined up and knowing your target area is still the difference-maker
With a little more inventory to choose from than this time last year, buyers have more to look at than they did earlier in the year
Have questions about what your home is worth, or what’s happening in a specific neighborhood? I’m happy to chat — no pressure, no obligation.
