Idlewild South’s rolling three-month numbers show mixed shifts compared with a year ago. Typical home values are down slightly year over year, while the median list price has inched up, signaling sellers are still aiming higher on asking prices. Inventory has tightened notably, with active listings falling more than 20 percent from last year even as the broader Charlotte market has seen listings rise.
Looking at the most recent rolling period ending in May 2026, conditions lean toward sellers but with nuanced dynamics. Months of supply has dropped to about two and a half months, well below Charlotte’s 4.1 months, which points to relatively limited options for buyers in the neighborhood.
Demand patterns are shifting in interesting ways. Homes are taking a median of 33 days to sell in the latest three-month window, which is longer than some past peaks but still quick enough that over 60 percent of listings are off the market within two weeks. The share of homes selling above list price has climbed year over year to about 28 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, showing buyers are paying close to asking prices. With 14 homes sold and 18 pending in this rolling period, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these local trends.

From the very beginning, Marti was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I needed. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and ability to guide me through every step gave me so much confidence. She always took the time to explain things clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable with every decision. What stood out most was how much she truly cares about her clients.

I whole heartedly recommend Chanda as she is a class act of what a true professional and intelligent realtor is. Thank you again Chanda for helping me through this whole process. I will be forever grateful for the outstanding service that you provided me.”

“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with.

I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”
“Loved working with Judi, who is very personable and has good attention to detail. I learned so much about this kind of transaction (sale of bare property) from dealing with Judi.”
“As a first time home buyer, I had no knowledge of the real estate market or the process of home buying. Traci looked out for me every step of the way, ensuring I was getting the best deal and answering any questions. When I found the home I wanted to purchase, Traci was able to get me a few extra incentives from the seller. It's those little things that really matter and I appreciated her attentiveness to seeing that I was happy with my home purchase. ”
“Keldia was patient, listened to my needs and concerns. She would provide feedback when asked for it. She would also provide critical and strategic advice in certain situations that deemed it necessary. She stuck with the plan I had, which was very aggressive for a seller’s market. In the end, I was able to get the place I wanted for significantly less than asking price and with the difference I was able to upgrade all appliances, change the carpet with a premium product, paint the whole interior and replace the hardwoods with bamboo flooring. Overall, it was a great experience and I would deal with her again. Highly recommended!”
