Ballantyne June 2018 Housing Market Update/Video
June 2018 home sales in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, North Carolina (28277 zip code) saw the same trends we've been seeing all year with home prices up, inventory tightening, pending and closed sales diminishing due to the lack of inventory.
The average sale price of Ballantyne area homes increased by 1.5% to just over $365,000 as compared with the same period one year ago. (Median sale price in June also increased 4.6% versus one year ago.)
Average days on market for property listings were essentially flat at 32 days versus one year ago. Median days on market were also flat at 10 days in June 2018.
Average price per square foot increased by 5.1% to $145/square foot in June 2018 versus the same period in 2017. Pending sales were down 6.9% in June versus the same month last year. June 2018 closed sales were down 9.5%. It's not unreasonable to assume that both pending and closed sales would have been higher if there had been an uptick in inventory, which was down 0.4 % in June 2018 versus the prior year.
New listings decreased 6.3% versus June 2017, contributing to the strain of a high demand market starved of available inventory. The Ballantyne area's months supply of homes was 1.9 months.
The number of showings per listing and the number of showings until pending contract per listing also dropped. During June 2018, listed homes averaged 9.7 showings (down 7.6% versus June 2017) and 22 showings until pending contract (down 4.3% versus the same time period one year ago). Given the tight inventory of available homes for sale, it's not surprising that listed homes get less "foot traffic" prior to going under contract, while showings until pending contracts decrease as homes sell more quickly.
The median percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 98.3%, showing little negotiating room in the 28277 zip code for Ballantyne area homes.
Ballantyne's housing market in 2018 continues as the prior year ended... as a seller's market in the 28277 zip code and very competitive, with many homes selling within days of being listed for sale.
The strong housing market we've seen in the Ballantyne area throughout 2016 and 2017 continued in the first half of 2018, as Ballantyne area homes continued to sell, sell faster, and sell for more money.
