What real estate bust??????

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Lifestyle 236614

Lincolnton North Carolina Real estate market is not declining!!  I am so frusterated with the media constantly saying that the entire nations real estate market has busted.  I am not naive enough to believe that the real estate market is going well everywhere, but in Lincoln County North Carolina our market is actually pretty good. Where other markets have seen a decline over the past year Lincolnton Real Estate has actually seen a steady increase. 

In 2005 the average sales price for a single family home in Lincolnton North Carolina was $134,809.00.  Then in 2006 the average sales price in Lincolnton North Carolina steadily increased to  $142,944.  Finally last year the average sales price for a single family house in Lincolnton North Carolina rose again to $146,202.

Not only did the average sales price increase, but the average days on market decreased. In 2005 the average DOM was 130, then in 2006 it was 105 and last year it was 90.  This means not only are our houses appreciating, but they are selling more quickly than before.

Our steady increase I believe is due to more and more people moving to the Charlotte area.  Charlotte is a great city, but doesn't suit everyones needs.  Lincoln County offers low taxes, great schools, and a short commute to Charlotte.  An overall great place to live! For more information .....

These statistics are believed to be accurate and the information was gathered from the CMLS

I feel the same way.  Our market in Rochester saw an increase last year as well.  The market is not bad everywhere.

Our market is strong also-we have more bargains than I've seen in the past 10 years.  I thought it was because we are a resort area but I'm glad to hear you are strong as well.  I grew up in neighboring Catawba County-have  friends in Lincolnton- do you know George and Barbara Clark?

Anna,

I am happy to hear that your market is strong. I am in the Johnston county area of NC, just south of Raleigh. I have to admit that it's kind of slow moving here. However, we are getting more buyers kind of looking around lately. Hopefully, we will have a good year.

There are definitely areas of the country that aren't faring as well as we are. Selling today is partly a matter of adapting to the "new" buyers.
