December 2015 showed continued improvement in home sales in the Fort Mill/Tega Cay, South Carolina areas of the Charlotte metro region.
The average sale price of Fort Mill area homes increased by 3.8% to just under $290,000 compared with December 2014, while average days on market for property listings dropped by 19 days to 59 days, an 11.9% improvement over the same period last year. Price per square foot also increased by 2.7% to $113/square foot during December 2015 versus the same period in 2014.
In Tega Cay, average home sale prices were up 0.3% to just under $315,000 versus December 2014, while days on market were down 16 days to 62 days, a 20.5% improvement over last year. Price per square foot increased by 2.6% to $117/square foot in December 2015.
Closed sales of homes in Fort Mill during December 2015 were up just under 1% compared with the same period last year. In Tega Cay, closed sales increased by 11.9% versus December 2014. Pending sales in December 2015 were up in both Fort Mill (+1.8%) and Tega Cay (+13.9%) versus December 2014.
The average percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 96.7% in Fort Mill and 96.1% in Tega Cay, showing how little negotiating room there is on Fort Mill and Tega Cay homes.
The Fort Mill/Tega Cay area's months supply of homes is 3.1 months (down 16.2%) and 5.3 months (down 18.5%), respectively--indicating a true seller's market in both Fort Mill and Tega Cay, South Carolina. And with new listings increasing by just 2.0% in Fort Mill (equal to just 33 houses) and not at all in Tega Cay in December 2015, it seems safe to assume that housing inventory in Fort Mill/Tega Cay will remain tight and homes will continue to sell quickly and close to asking price.
