January 2018 home sales in the Fort Mill/Tega Cay, South Carolina areas of the Charlotte, NC metro region continued the trends we've seen since 2016 and throughout 2017 with pressure on closed sales, as inventory continued to decrease, while demand for homes exceeded supply.

Pending sales in January 2018 were also down -- down 4.4% in Fort Mill and down by 7.9% in Tega Cay versus January 2017. To some degree this can be attributed to the decrease in the months supply of homes for sale the lack of new listings coming on the market, especially in Tega Cay.
The average percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 96.9% in Fort Mill and 95.7% in Tega Cay, showing relatively little negotiating room on both Fort Mill and Tega Cay homes.

New listings marginally increased by 2.8% in Fort Mill and decreased by 1.3% in Tega Cay in January 2018.
As we begin 2018 and look forward to the spring selling season, it seems safe to assume that housing inventory in Fort Mill and Tega Cay will remain relatively tight and that housing will remain a seller's market with home prices continuing a steady increase.
