A new report shows the hottest areas for Charlotte home buyers are in northern Mecklenburg County.

Opendoor compiled a list of the 10 zip codes where homes are selling the fastest by analyzing data from the local Multiple Listing Service to find the total homes in each location that went into contract within 90 days of listing this year.

According to the report, the 28269 zip code in north Charlotte came in at No. 1, followed by 28078 (Huntersville) and 28277 (Ballantyne).

Here are the 10 most popular Charlotte-area zip codes where people are moving, according to Opendoor:

  1. 28269 - Charlotte (Highland Creek)

  2. 28078 - Huntersville

  3. 28277 - Charlotte (Ballantyne)

  4. 28205 - Charlotte (Eastland)

  5. 28027 - Concord

  6. 29715 - Fort Mill

  7. 28173 - Waxhaw

  8. 29732 - Rock Hill

  9. 28227 - Charlotte (Matthews/Mint Hill)

  10. 28210 - Charlotte (Beverly Woods)

The spike in home sales matches the population growth of Charlotte during the last few years, according to the report.

Charlotte landed at No. 15 in a census report on population growth between July 2021 and July 2022, and was ranked No. 6 among cities with the most new home construction.

Charlotte also had an unemployment rate of just 3.2% in May, according to the most recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, making it an attractive location for potential home buyers.

“One aspect [of the first half of 2023] that did not surprise me was the continued strong demand for real estate in Charlotte,” Kristina Delgado, a realtor with Allure Realty in Charlotte, told Opendoor. “The city has been experiencing steady population growth, job opportunities, and a favorable business climate, making it an attractive destination for many individuals and families.”
