Prices and risks

How expensive is it to live in North Carolina?

Three official measures that help you decide: how much home prices have changed according to FHFA, how prices compare with the national average according to BEA, and how many homes sit in a flood zone according to FEMA.

Home prices

How have home prices changed?

According to the FHFA House Price Index, home prices in North Carolina rose 107% in the 10 years through 2025.

Price change each year

2021: +13.0%
2022: +20.9%

5 years (2020–2025)	+60%	+47%
10 years (2015–2025)	+107%	+85%

The index follows the prices of the same homes over time (sales and appraisals on loans bought or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). It is not the average price of a home. FHFA considers its annual state indexes experimental.

BEA expresses each index as a percentage of the average U.S. price level: a higher number means higher prices, and a lower one, lower prices.

Flooding

Is there a flood risk?

According to FEMA, in North Carolina 2.8% of homes (113,606) are in a high-risk flood zone. Of those homes, 53% have NFIP flood insurance.

A high-risk zone (Special Flood Hazard Area) has a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. 44 CFR 59.1
If the home is in that zone and the loan comes from a regulated lender, federal law requires flood insurance for the life of the loan, in communities that take part in the NFIP. 42 U.S.C. 4012a
Most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage. FEMA, FloodSmart
