Charlotte, NC Region Housing Market Report: 

Quarter 1 - 2021

 

Latest news on the Charlotte region real estate market and what it means for you...

 

First Quarter 2021 Charlotte, North Carolina region's home sales continued the trends we've seen since 2015. Home buyers continued to find the housing market very competitive with higher home prices and an extreme lack of properties to buy, especially in affordable homes priced under $300,000. Buyers looking for a bargain remained "hard pressed" to find one. 

 

Meantime, home sellers continud to sell their homes quickly and for top dollar, when priced right for condition and location. The "story" of the first quarter 2021 might well be about the continuing decreases in the supply of homes available for sale across the region with resulting increases in home prices in  the region. It's worth pointing out that this "story" is now an "old," 6-year story, because that was also the story of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and now 2021. With inventory at 0.6 months of supply, Charlotte region remained a seller's market in the first quarter of 2021.

Good morning, Hannah... we've been in a seller's market for the most part for going on six years now, but for the past 12 months it's insane! Our inventory is on life support.

I really like your play on words. Agents in my area are asking how much over the asking price do I need to go?

Nina, again our markets are nearly shouting the same data - our inventory is down 75% .   I do believe if the interest rate would go up 1%, maybe it would slow our market a bit, and would not be a bad thing!

HI Hannah... I just keep telling other agents and my own buyers... decide what this house is worth to you and put your best foot forward right up front.

Hi Joan... I don't see interest rates increasing by 1% anytime soon and certainly if they do, it will be gradual. Meantime, they dropped again last week to under 3%.

Hi Bill... lack of inventory is not slowing down price appreciation... people are paying more and more to snag a house. But lack of inventory can stall sales if there's nothing to sell.

Hi Nina, 

Another great report for the Charlotte region.  I know that many buyers are dismayed over the heavy competition for homes.  But they can take solace in knowing you are there to make their dreams come true.

I think you have a very strong housing market but you just can't get your inventory levels up, they sell too fast Nina 🙃

Good morning, Sheri... home buyers are really stressed these days trying to get to that finish line of a closing table. It's a lot of work keeping them as steady as possible.
