Most Million-Dollar Listings in NC

Even though Lake Norman is among the largest lake-home markets, the price tag doesn’t hurt too badly. The average list price of just over $632,000 doesn’t come close to the most expensive market. That badge of honor goes to Lake Austin in Texas with an average list price of $2.8 million.

However, Lake Norman does contain 47% of the state’s total number of homes listed above $1 million.

Throughout North Carolina, Lake Norman ranks No. 10 among the most expensive home markets. Falls Lake in the Triangle is the priciest, as the average list price there tops $1.2 million.
