One Minute Housing Market Video Update From RE/MAX: October 2017

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

Here's your one minute housing market video update from RE/MAX for October 2017 using September 2017 housing data based on 54 metro areas around the country.

 

September home sales slowed amid strong prices and low inventory. September 2017 was the fifth month this year to post a decline in home sales as compared with the record-setting 2016 year, at the same time marking the 71st consecutive month of rising sale prices year-over-year.

 

  • Home sales down 4.2%
  • Median price of homes sold up 2.3% year over year to $225,000
  • Average days on market were down by 7 days to 49 days as compared with one year ago
  • Number of homes for sale down 14.1%

 

 

No doubt that home buyer demand remains strong and that in many areas it's a seller's market, pure and simple. There just are not enough sellers listing their homes, despite rising prices.

 

So, is now the right time to sell your Charlotte metro area home? That depends on your motivation. If you'd like to have a quick conversation about that, please contact Carolinas Realty Partners with RE/MAX Executive. We'd be delighted to explore the pros and cons of listing your home now versus waiting.

Good morning Nina - hopefully more people will begin to list their homes.  Not sure why they are waiting.

Good morning Nina.

I knew there was a reason why homes are moving so fast around here.  That just proves my point.

James Dray ~ hi James... growing populations in areas like ours and lack of inventory are definitely driving prices up and slowing sales down.

Michael Jacobs ~ hi Michael... as hard as it is to believe, I am often astonished by how many agents I run into who hardly have a clue of what's impacting local markets and/or what's happening nationally that might impact us locally.
