Lake Norman Real Estate Market Report (Q2 2026)

by | Aug 22, 2026

Paul Chickene - Lake Norman Wildlife

Mike Feehley of Ivester Jackson Christie’s International Real Estate is back to break down what’s actually happening on the west side of Lake Norman. His read on Q2: this isn’t a crash or a stall, it’s a return to normal — roughly three to three and a half months of inventory, buyers taking their time, and sellers still chasing 2022 prices finding out the hard way that the market moved on.

Mike walks through his three Ps for selling in this market (preparation, price, patience), makes the case that your agent should be spending their own money to get your home ready, and then gets into The Cape — a 27-unit luxury townhome community on the water in Denver with rooftop pools, outdoor kitchens, elevators in every unit, and 15 dock slips. Reservations just opened, with the first building targeted for delivery by the end of November.
