BALLANTYNE SALES WERE DOWN DUE TO LACK OF INVENTORY
Closed sales decreased 15.5%, while pending sales decreased 8.9% in March 2022 compared with one year ago (primarily due to lack of inventory and new listings). Meanwhile, despite an uptick in interest rates, low interest rates continued to generate buyer demand as buyers looked to lock in rates before they rise further. New listings decreased 2.9% year-over-year and sold as quickly as they came on market.
MORE BUYERS WERE LOOKING FOR HOMES IN BALLANTYNE
One indicator of how much demand there is for homes is the average number of showings per listing. In March 2022 home listings averaged 41 showings per listing, up 39.1% from 30 showings in March 2021. In March 2020, the average listing had 12 showings. It's more buyers chasing fewer listings that is generating the higher levels of home showings.
BALLANTYNE'S MONTHS SUPPLY & HOUSING INVENTORY WERE AT RECORD LOWS
Ballantyne's months supply of homes remained razor-thin at less than half a month at 0.4 months (down 33.3% from 0.6 months one year ago and 1.4 months in March 2020). This, coupled with a 37.5% drop in housing inventory in March, kept Charlotte's Ballantyne area/28277 zip code a home seller's market.
