Charlotte Region Housing Market Update: October 2020

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

 

Latest news on the greater Charlotte region's real estate market in October and what it means for you...  

  

October 2020 continued to see a strong housing market in the greater Charlotte region, despite the ongoing pandemic. Pending contract and closed sales activity shows buyer interest with demand returning to and exceeding pre-pandemic levels due to historically low interest rates fueling much of the buyer demand.

 

Housing inventory remained at record lows and new listings are not keeping up with demand despite an increase in new listings in October. At 1.2 months of supply, we continue to see some of the lowest levels of inventory on record in the Charlotte region.

 

This lack of inventory presents a unique opportunity for sellers who are ready to list, as new listings receive high visibility and spend less time on market. Averaging 25 days on market, homes are selling nearly as fast as they are listed.

 

Multiple offers on homes have once again returned to the Charlotte region real estate market. Both median and average home sale prices were up by double digits across the region.

Nina it is amazing how high the sales numbers are up given how low the inventory is.  Let's hope more sellers try to take advantage of this strong sellers market, so we have an up tick in inventory.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra.... indeed, our market remains strong. It feels as if it's stabilizing in the higher price points, but anything under $350K continues to fly out the door. Happy Monday!

It is very interesting that's your new listings are up but your inventory is down 47.6. Must be that the listing agents are doing their jobs and selling homes faster 

Happy Monday evening from the West Coast  Nina Hollander
