Statesville
Room to grow, larger lots, and easy I-77 access — Statesville is where buyers stretch their dollar.
Welcome to Statesville.
Statesville is the largest city in Iredell County and offers some of the best value in the broader Charlotte metro. Buyers can find acreage, equestrian properties, new construction, and historic homes at prices that no longer exist closer to Charlotte, all with easy access to both I-77 and I-40.
The Statesville market at a glance
Statesville is one of the most affordable submarkets in the greater Charlotte area, with a median home price of approximately $325,000. Buyers can find renovated historic homes from the mid-$200s, new-construction single-family homes from the low $300s to mid-$500s, and acreage and equestrian properties ranging from the $600s to well over $1 million. Inventory has loosened slightly compared to lake-area markets, days on market average just under six weeks, and the area continues to post some of the strongest year-over-year appreciation in the region as buyers expand their search.
