How Has COVID-19 Impacted Charlotte Region's Housing Week of 4/18/2020

Charlotte Region Weekly Housing Market Activity Report:

Weeks Ended April 11 And April 18

 

Latest news on how COVID-19 is affecting the Charlotte region real estate market and what it means for you...

 

The impact of shuttered businesses and shelter at home orders due to COVID-19 became more apparent in Charlotte region's housing market activity for the weeks ended April 11th and April 18th compared with the last half of March and the first half of April. 

 

COVID-19 impact for the weeks ended April 11th and April 18th showed continued year-over-year decreases in new listings, in pending sales, in inventory.  Meantime, inventory remained tight with less than two months supply of homes for sale. For a market that was already low on inventory at the height of its spring selling season, continued decreases in new listings and in inventory as the impact of COVID-19 is more fully realized can be expected to put a strain on home sales.

 

The number of homes temporarily taken off the market or withdrawn slowed down the week ended April 18th compared with the prior three weeks. It's probably fair to assume that home sellers who were inclined to take their homes off the market did so relatively quickly once shelter-place orders were put in place, especially in Mecklenburg County where person-to-person showings were prohibited. In Mecklenburg County shelter-in-place orders were extended from April 29th through May 8th.

Morning Nina.

Just a temporary slow down.  I do believe it will take a little longer to get things rolling again, what do you think?

James Dray good morning, James... our stay at home orders were extended by 10 days to May 8th... it could happen again. So hard to say... the real issue underlying demand will be the level of unemployment that hangs on.

Hi Nina Hollander - I am not doing any reports on 1st Q stats. Sedona and the Verde Valley had an outstanding quarter but buyers and sellers want to know how the market is now and going forward.  Your Charlotte region report for 4/18 is realistic and is what those in the market are looking for.  Nice job.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® hi Sheri... I thought about not doing Q1 reports but then decided since I have a consistent body of work quarter after quarter I wanted to not miss a quarter of updates all of a sudden... especially as it will be another 2+ months before the next quarterly numbers will be out.

Nina Hollander - Honesty can't be faked when it comes to consumers. This is a real marekting report without all the hoopla of how great things are. I am glad you didn't skip it because this could be the most important marketing report that will be considered when a Seller decides to list with you.
