Charlotte Region 2018 Housing Market Quick Facts At A Glance

Charlotte Region 2018 Housing Market Quick Facts

All the critical indicators of a strong, predominantly seller's housing market showed improvement year-over-year since 2011, with the exception of the inventory of homes available for sale, which is now at its lowest level since 2007. With just 2.2 months of inventory at year end 2018, this is the most critical aspect of our market right now -- availability of homes for buyers to purchase and especially availability of affordable homes. It's the supply of homes, or rather lack thereof, that is helping drive Charlotte area home prices up and the housing affordability index down as demand continues to outstrip supply. Closed sales are also being impacted negatively due to the lack of inventory.

Joan Cox hi Joan... these numbers are important. For some reason agents are thinking we are suddenly in a buyer's market. With 2 months of inventory... not so much I say. We're not even close to a balanced market!

Nina lack of inventory does present challenges for Buyers.  Buyers cannot procrastinate in the market you are in, and need to act quickly.  Like the saying says "If you snooze you lose".

George Souto hi George... there are some who are trying to convince us we are in a buyer's market now because homes are dropping prices, but with only two months of inventory we are no where near being in a buyer's market... we're not even in a balanced market. The homes that are dropping prices probably over priced to start with.

Nina, looks like sellers are still in the driver's seat in Charlotte. Buyers need to take advantage of interest rates and act now, waiting will only impact their buying power and not in a good way. All they need to do is contact you to get started.

I always enjoy seeing that distressed home sales go down, that is a sale that seems to be no fun at all for anyone involved.

Amanda S. Davidson hi Amanda... even though the rate of price incrases has gotten slower in Charlotte, it's still a seller's market.
