What Happened In Ballantyne's Housing Market In Charlotte In Nov 2017?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Welcom to Ballantyne

 

November 2017 home sales in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, North Carolina (28277 zip code) continued the trends we've seen all year with home prices up, inventory tightening, pending and closed sales struggling to hold on.

 

The average sale price of Ballantyne area homes increased by 5.2% to just over $364,000 as compared with the same period one year ago. (Median sale price in November 2017 was also up 9.4% versus one year ago.)

 

Average days on market for property listings dropped to 31 days from 32 days one year ago--a 3.1% improvement over the same period last year. Median days on market also dropped by 33.3% to 8 days in November 2017. 

 

Average price per square foot increased by 6.0% to $141/square foot in November 2017 versus the same period in 2016. Pending sales were down 1.1% in November versus the same month last year. November 2017 closed sales  were down 3.0%. It's not unreasonable to assume that both pending and closed sales would have been higher if there had been more inventory in November, which was down 10% in November 2017 versus the prior year.

 

The number of showings per listing and the number of showings until pending contract per listing also dropped. During November 2017, listed homes averaged 10 showings (down 4.8% versus November 2016) and 22 showings until pending contract (down 8.3% versus the same time period one year ago). Given the tight inventory of available homes for sale, it's not surprising that listed homes get less "foot traffic" prior to going under contract, while showings until pending contracts decrease as homes sell more quickly.

 

The median percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was up 0.7% compared with last year at 98.4%, showing how little negotiating room there is in the 28277 zip code for Ballantyne area homes.

 

New listings decreased  0.9% versus November 2016, contributing to the strain of a high demand market starved of available inventory. The Ballantyne area's months supply of homes remains at below two months at 1.8 months (down 10.0% versus November 2016). 

 

Without doubt, it continues to be a seller's market in the 28277 zip code and very competitive, with many homes selling within days of being listed for sale. .

 

The strong housing market we saw in Ballantyne area throughout 2016 has continued through 2017, as Ballantyne area homes continue to sell, sell faster, and sell for more money.

Obviously still a strong sellers market. It is so tough for first-time homebuyers right now. My daughter lives in Denver and we want to help her purchase a home, but that market is so hot,  it's a terrible time to buy. We keep hoping it's going to soften a bit...???

George Souto ~ hi George... our market remains healthy overall... it's just a question of how much better would it be if we had more inventory.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD ~ hi Debb... I feel your daughter's pain... it's increasingly the same here in Charlotte for first-time buyers and until we have more inventory I don't see the market softening in terms of prices. And we've been at it here for two years now.
