How did the Charlotte metro area's housing market perform in 2017? Here's the 2017 market "at a glance." All the critical indicators of a robust housing market show improvement year-by-year since 2011, with the exception of the inventory of homes available for sale, which has dropped now for FOUR years in a row. With only two months of inventory, in my mind this is the most critical aspect of our market right now -- availability of homes for buyers to purchase. And it's the supply of homes, or rather lack thereof, that is helping drive Charlotte are 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.
