Third quarter 2017 Charlotte, North Carolina region's home sales continued the positive trends we've seen since 2015. Home buyers are finding the housing market very competitive with increasing home prices resulting from a lack of properties to buy. Buyers looking for a bargain are "hard pressed" to find one. Many first-time buyers are being "priced out of the market." Meantime, home sellers are seeing their homes sell quickly and for top dollar, when priced right for condition and location. The "story" of the third quarter 2017 might well be about the continuing double-digit decrease in the supply of homes available for sale across the region, as well (18 comments)
