What brings you to Fifth and Poplar?
The current picture
What the data says right now
Fifth and Poplar sold fourteen homes over the past year, against roughly nine months of supply at the current rate. Twelve more were listed across two years and came off the market without selling. Only three of the fourteen sales went under contract within a month. Across Uptown condominiums, sellers closed at about ninety-six percent of their original asking price and nearly half cut their price at least once. Those numbers describe a market where asking prices and closing prices have drifted apart.
Fifth and Poplar runs to roughly nine months of supply at the current rate of sale, and twelve homes came off the market over two years without selling. The pattern in the data is consistent: the homes that sold here were priced within a few percent of recent closings, and the ones that did not sell were priced against other asking prices.

Of the fourteen homes that sold in the past twelve months, nine took between one and three months. Three went under contract within thirty days and two took longer than ninety. In our opinion most of this building sells on an ordinary timetable, and a single average would hide the tails rather than describe them.
Over the past two years 12 listings were withdrawn or expired without selling.

How this compares
This building against its market
Fail rate is the share of listings that withdrew or expired rather than selling, measured over two years. It is a completed outcome rather than a snapshot of what happens to be for sale today.
| Measure | Fifth and Poplar | Uptown condominiums | All Charlotte condominiums |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fail rate | 28.6% | 45.7% | 34.8% |
| Median days on market | Not published | 52 | 39 |
| Sold against original asking price | 95.0% | 95.9% | 96.2% |
| Share of sales that cut their price | 46.7% | 46.6% | 43.2% |
The two price measures rest on all thirty closings in this building over twenty-four months, not on the past twelve alone. Days on market is measured over the past twelve months and is not published at building level, because a median on a sample this size would assert a typical sale that the record does not show.

The building
About Fifth and Poplar
Fifth and Poplar is an eight story condominium building on West Fifth Street in Fourth Ward, completed in 2002. It sits beside the historic First Presbyterian Church and Settlers Cemetery, on the block where the high rises of Tryon Street give way to the older Fourth Ward streets, and it was designed to suit that transition rather than the skyline: stone at the base, brick above it, and a stucco and mansard cap drawing on Georgian and Regency proportions. The ground floor homes facing the street are built as townhouse walk ups. The building mass is pushed out to the sidewalk, which creates a strong street wall and encloses an interior courtyard that works as both a garden and a private amenity terrace.

Location
Getting around from here
Fifth and Poplar sits in Fourth Ward, the residential quarter at the northwest corner of Uptown, where tree lined streets and historic houses sit a few blocks from the business district. A Harris Teeter is connected directly to the building, which is unusual in the center city. Fourth Ward Park is close by, Romare Bearden Park a little further, and Bank of America Stadium and Truist Field are both within walking distance.
