March 2018 homes sales in the Indian Land, South Carolina area (29707 zip code) of the Charlotte metro region continued the trends we've seen since 2016 with strong demand for homes resulting in continued increases in home prices, coupled with significant decreases in availability of affordable homes priced under $250,000.
The average sale price of homes in the Indian Land area (29707 zip code) increased 7.2% to just under $323,000. Average days on market for property listings were 51. Median days on market were just 22 days in March 2018.
Price per square foot also increased by 2.4% to an average of $127/square foot during March. The days when homes in Indian Land in Lancaster County versus adjacent Fort Mill in York County were much less expensive are now a thing of the past.
Closed sales of homes in Indian Land were up 6.8% versus the same period last year. Meanwhile, pending sales in March 2018 were up 16.2% versus March 2017.
The median percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 98.1%, indicating minimal negotiating room for Indian Land homes.
The Indian Land area's months supply of homes in March 2018 increased by one-half of a month to 3.5 months versus one year ago -- but with less than four months, still continuing to indicate a seller's market in Indian Land, South Carolina.
New listings were up 15.4%, but it's worth pointing out that new listings of affordable homes prices under $235,000 were down 6.4% compared with one year ago with only 2.1 months of inventory... clearly putting pressure on closed sales despite the overall increase in new listings.
It's worth pointing out that the average sale price of a resale home in Indian Land in March 2018 stood at $308,120 (up 8.5% versus March 2017), while the average sale price of a new construction home stood at $396,768 (up 7.1% versus March 2017). No wonder it's so hard to find homes in Indian Land under $250,000 (new or resale).
