What Happened In The Fort Mill/Tega Cay, SC Housing Market In Dec 2017

Homes for sale in Fort Mill, SCDecember 2017 home sales in the Fort Mill/Tega Cay, South Carolina areas of the Charlotte, NC metro region had a solid performance continued the trends we've seen since 2016 with lots of pressure on closed sales, as inventory continued to decrease.

 

The average sale price of Fort Mill area homes increased by 6.0% to just under $327,000 compared with December 2016, while average days on market for property listings were increased by two day to 51 days compared with the same period last year, more than likely due to a holiday seasonality. Price per square foot also increased by 5.8% to $128/square foot in December 2017 versus the same period in 2016.

 

 

Homes for sale in Tega Cay, SCIn Tega Cay, average home sale prices dropped by 1.0% just over $339,000 versus December 2016, while days on market decreased by 9 days to 65 days, a 14.5% improvement. Price per square foot in Tega Cay increased by 6.5% to $132/square foot in December 2017.

 

 

 

Closed sales of homes in Fort Mill during December 2017 decreased by 1.7% compared with the same period last year. In Tega Cay, closed sales decreased by 1.4% versus December 2016. Pending sales in December 2017 were also down -- down 1.0% in Fort Mill and down by 9.1% in Tega Cay versus December 2016. To some degree this can be attributed to the decrease in the months supply of homes for sale, the drop in new listings coming on the market especially in Tega Cay, and holiday seasonality.

 

The average percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 97.0% in Fort Mill and 95.8% in Tega Cay, showing relatively little negotiating room on both Fort Mill and Tega Cay homes.

 

The Fort Mill/Tega Cay area's months supply of homes as compared with one year ago is 2.6 months (down 13.3%) and 4.0 months (down 14.9%), respectively--indicating a seller's market in the Fort Mill/Tega Cay areas of South Carolina.  New listings marginally increased by 1.4% in Fort Mill and decreased by 5.1% in Tega Cay in December 2017. 

 

As we closed out 2017 and look forward to 2018, it seems safe to assume that housing inventory in Fort Mill and Tega Cay will remain relatively tight and that housing will remain a seller's market.

Even though December is almost always a more quiet time of year in the real estate market, it looks like prices in your Charlotte neighborhoods just continue to go up, Nina. Even with a little bit of a decline in inventory. It will be interesting to see how 2018 plays out.

So, a friend of mine recently moved to the Charlotte area and his Mom has lived there for a while.  When he called yesterday, I asked him if he was going to drive through Indian Land, he said that it is in South Carolina.  He says his Mom lives in Indian Trail.  I thought it was so cool that I could talk intelligently with him about the area, haha.  It's all because of you!!!
