“Jaime did an outstanding job selling my home. I tried to list my house myself and thought I would be able to navigate everything on my own, but little did I know how little I knew. Jaime jumped in and never once make me feel dump or ignorant for trying to list my own house, but rather praised my sense of style and validated how the real estate world can be very tough. I needed to sell my house quickly and even though the market was basically frozen, he came in, listed the house and hit the ground running, as though he was on fire. He held open houses three weekends in a row and had the house under contract within 30 days!! Absolutely amazing! He communicated with me regularly and was respectful, truthful and aggressive. I have so much respect for this young man and will recommend him to everyone I know!”

Cleveland County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Cleveland County real estate market. *
Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Cleveland County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Cleveland County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year over year, Cleveland County’s typical home value in September 2026 edged down slightly, while the median list price also dipped modestly, signaling some softening in prices. Compared with North Carolina overall, where median sale prices are essentially flat from last year, local buyers are seeing relatively more price relief.
In the latest monthly snapshot, inventory has expanded, with active listings up sharply from a year ago and months of supply soaring to 6.3, firmly positioning the area as a buyer’s market. At the same time, closed sales and pending contracts have both fallen double digits over the past year, pointing to slower buyer activity even as more homes come to market.
Recent selling patterns show only about 10 percent of homes closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio near 97 percent, suggesting buyers have more room to negotiate than they did earlier. Yet homes are not languishing significantly longer, with median days on market hovering in the low 80s and roughly in line with last year. In this environment of softer prices and higher supply, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate their next move.

“"Working with Katerina was amazing throughout my home purchase. She was always there whenever I needed help, keeping me informed and coordinating every step of the process. Her patience, responsiveness, and commitment made the entire experience much less stressful. I always felt supported and confident knowing she was looking out for my best interests. I couldn't have asked for a better agent and would gladly recommend her to family and friends."”
“Working with Joshua was one of the best decisions we made during our homebuying journey! As first-time homebuyers purchasing a home from across the country, we knew this would be a big step, but Joshua made the entire experience so much easier. From the very beginning, Joshua worked hard to help us secure the home we fell in love with. It wasn't an easy one to get, but he fought for us and made it happen. Even with us being out of state, he made sure everything was taken care of. Our closing process was far from typical, and we faced some unexpected challenges with our lender that caused delays and uncertainty. Throughout it all, Joshua handled everything professionally, stayed on top of every detail, and did everything he could to keep things moving forward. He truly went above and beyond, helping us feel less stressed during a very challenging time. We cannot recommend Joshua highly enough! If you're looking for a realtor who will genuinely fight for your best interests, go the extra mile, and stand by you no matter how challenging the process gets, Joshua is the one you want on your side. We would choose him again in a heartbeat!”
“Sally was exceptional! She was extremely thorough in the beginning, completely understanding what we were looking and giving us the best guidance possible. She knew the market, trends, comps and matched our style with several homes she believed were great fits. When we were torn on a few houses, but she gave expert level insight that helped us narrow our focus, that helped us land on our new home, that was the perfect fit. She was instrumental in helping us navigate the negotiations and getting us a fantastic deal! My wife and I believe that if we had not gone with Sally, we would not be loving our new home as much as we do, because we would have "settled" on the wrong house, over paying, instead of landing our dream house at a great price. Highly recommend Sally to any buyer that wants an expert in their corner, who will work to get you the right home, at the right time for the right price!”
“Aaron was such a pleasure to work with! I know we were some of the pickiest people he's probably ever had to work with, but he never made us feel like it. We were never rushed or made to feel odd about asking so many questions about things we didn't understand, and Aaron took his time making us feel very safe and comfortable in this huge decision! His kindness and compassion really went a long way, 10 stars!!”
“Brody went above and beyond during the entire process. He started with a professional call with our whole family. He listened for what we were looking for and we were able to view some houses the next day. Throughout the buying process, Brody was thorough, sticking on our side, and adding expert advice during difficult situations. In all, he made sure we were comfortable, we were in the know, and he had exceptional communication through the entire process.”
“We can't say enough about Jonathan. Our home had been on the market for a year before he took over, and by that point our family was stressed, worn out, and unsure it would ever sell. Within roughly 50 days of working with Jonathan, it was sold. Jonathan brought a fresh perspective and a clear plan, but what made the biggest difference was how he handled us as people. He was patient with every question, empathetic about how draining the past year had been, and tireless in his efforts to get us to the finish line. He communicated consistently, and we always felt he had our best interests at heart. Because we live across the country, we couldn't be there to handle things in person, and Jonathan consistently went above and beyond to fill that gap. He looked after the property, coordinated and managed contractors, and kept the entire process moving smoothly on our behalf. He took on far more than we ever expected, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our home was in such capable hands. He turned what had been an exhausting experience into something hopeful. If you're selling, especially if your home has been sitting on the market or you're managing a sale from out of state, Jonathan is the agent you want. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything you've done for our family.”
“Ethan and associate, Hunter were phenomenal! This was such a positive experience working with these two. They were really hard at getting us the best price. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone that will do right by them. If we ever decide to buy again we will definitely be coming to these two guys.”
“We truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor for such an important milestone! As first-time homeowners in North Carolina after moving from California, we had a lot of questions and a lot to learn, and Matthew was there for us every step of the way. Matthew was an absolute wealth of knowledge, incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and a fantastic negotiator. Anytime we had a question, no matter what time of day, he was always quick to respond and make sure we understood everything. His patience throughout the entire process made such a difference. One thing that really stood out to us was how wonderful he was with our toddler. He was so kind, patient, and understanding with our whole family, which made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier and more enjoyable. We viewed so many houses that my toddler kept asking “where’s Matthew”. We were highly recommended to Matthew by a family member, and we are so grateful we took their recommendation. He is genuinely one of the nicest people we’ve had the pleasure of working with, and we truly enjoyed getting to know him throughout the process. Moving across the country from California and purchasing our first home in North Carolina was a huge step for our family, and having someone as knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and trustworthy as Matthew made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would absolutely recommend Matthew to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! He is actually working with my mom now to purchase her first real estate in North Carolina as well!”
“Jackie was there every step of the way with us! Very knowledgeable and was there for any questions we had. From start to finish Jackie made this process manageable and low stress”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Millie as our buyer’s agent! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. Buying a house can be stressful, especially with all the moving parts involved, but Millie made the process feel so much easier. She was always available when we had questions, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. What really stood out to us was how much she cared about us as people, not just as clients. She listened to what we wanted, helped us navigate the home-buying process, and was there for us every step of the way. Her patience, professionalism, and attention to detail made a huge difference. We’re now homeowners, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to have in our corner during the process. If you’re looking for a realtor who will work hard for you, communicate clearly, and genuinely care about getting you into the right home, we highly recommend Millie! Thank you so much, Millie, for helping us make this happen! We’re incredibly grateful for everything you did for us.”
“Kat was wonderful to work with! She helped my wife and I find the perfect home. She was patient with us as we wanted a lot of certain things and she stuck with it even after we look at 10 . She was amazing and we plan to have her in the future help us again!”
“Anthony went above and beyond every expectation I had for my first time home buying experience! From the very beginning, he made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and exciting. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Charlotte area and the home buying process, and he always took the time to explain every step in detail so I felt informed and confident in every decision I made. What really stood out to me was how personable, patient, and genuinely invested Anthony was throughout the entire experience. I never felt like I was just another client or that I was being rushed into making a decision. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and made sure I fully understood everything from touring homes and making an offer to inspections, negotiations, and closing. I couldn’t recommend Anthony enough!”
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Aaron! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help us through the entire home-buying process. He was incredibly patient with us, always available to answer our questions, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. He genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and made what could have been such a stressful experience feel so much easier. What really stood out was how thoughtful and kind he was throughout the whole process. Even after we closed, he took the time to send us a card, which meant so much to us. It’s those little things that show how much he truly cares about the people he works with. We are so grateful for everything Aaron did to help us get into our new home. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor or a better person to have by our side through such a huge milestone in our lives. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home without hesitation. Thank you so much, Aaron, for everything!”
“Dena is absolutely AMAZING! She has been so patient with us throughout this entire 4-year journey, and we can finally say, WE DID IT! I truly don’t think I could have found a better realtor. Dena is more than someone who helps you find a home—she fights for you, stands beside you, encourages you, and makes sure you never feel like you’re going through the process alone. After four years, I honestly feel like I didn’t just gain a realtor—I gained a new friend. I’m so thankful for everything she has done for us and for never giving up on us. 10 out of 10, I would recommend Dena to ANYONE looking for a realtor! If you’re looking for someone who will truly have your back, check her out! Jeff Cook Realty is where it’s at! Thank you, Dena, for helping us finally make this dream a reality! The Adams Family.”
“As a first time buyer, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but Savannah made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets her apart is their deep knowledge of the local market and their incredible communication. Whenever a tricky moment came up—like during our home inspection she handled it with absolute professionalism and expert advice. I would recommend to anyone in the area!!”
“It was a pleasure working with Debi throughout this transaction. She was professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with, and the process went very smoothly from start to finish. I really appreciated her professionalism and the positive experience throughout the transaction.”
“Candy was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of selling our mom’s home. She responded to every message in a timely manner and advocated for us when needed. Would definitely reach out to her again for real estate needs.”
“We cannot say enough great things about our realtor, Seth! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond every expectation we had. Selling a home out of state can be stressful, but he made the entire process smooth, professional, and unbelievably fast. Within just one hour of listing our home, he secured a full cash offer, something we never imagined possible. His strategic approach, strong network, and expert negotiation skills turned what could have been a long process into an incredible success. Throughout the transaction, he kept us informed, answered every question promptly, and truly had our best interests at heart. We always felt like a priority, and his commitment to excellence was evident every step of the way. If you're looking for a realtor who works tirelessly for their clients, delivers outstanding results, and exceeds expectations in every way, look no further. We are beyond grateful for his hard work and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Rob was outstanding to work with in helping me sell our families property. His knowledge of the area and negotiating skills were excellent. I had tried other agents without much success. Rob was able to help guide me through the process since I was not very familiar with the listings and procedure. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
