The Charlotte area’s luxury housing market posted a 9.2% year-over-year price increase during the second quarter — tied with Newark, New Jersey, as second highest of the 50 largest U.S. metro areas. The median sale price of a luxury home here rose to $1.31 million, according to Redfin data. In Newark, it increased to about $1.62 million.

The only metro in Redfin’s report with a higher price increase was New Brunswick, New Jersey.
