Fort Mill & Tega Cay, South Carolina Housing Market Update: August 2018
August 2018 home sales in the Fort Mill/Tega Cay, South Carolina areas of the Charlotte, NC metro region continued the trends we've seen throughout 2018 and since 2016 with steadily increasing home prices as inventory remains tight and as "affordable" homes become increasingly harder to find.
The average sale price of Fort Mill area homes increased by 4.1% to just under $341,000 compared with August 2017, while average days on market for property listings were 42 days, down 12.5%, and median days on market were just 17 days.
