NC REALTORS and the nine data providers in its report

NC REALTORS, the statewide trade association, was founded in 1921 and incorporated on September 14, 1935. It started with 135 members and says it now has 54,000, in 43 local associations.

Form 2-T and the Due Diligence Fee

Standard Form 2-T, the Offer to Purchase and Contract, is jointly approved by NC REALTORS and the North Carolina Bar Association's Real Property Section; the copy NC REALTORS publishes is marked revised July 2025.

The form defines the Due Diligence Fee as a negotiated amount, if any, that the buyer pays the seller for the right to terminate the contract for any reason or no reason during the Due Diligence Period; it becomes the seller's property on the Effective Date, is a credit to the buyer at closing, and is non-refundable except in the cases the form lists, such as a material breach by the seller.

The association points to a split by price: inventory stretches to as much as 13.1 months for homes at $875,000 and above, while supply under $375,000 stays tighter.
