LATEST NEWS ON THE WAXHAW |  WEDDINGTON | MARVIN HOUSING MARKET...

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU...

 

The Waxhaw area of the Charlotte, North Carolina metro area (the 28173 zip code–encompassing the three towns of Waxhaw, Marvin and Weddington) saw a significant increase in home prices, year-over-year.  Median home prices in Weddington and Marvin exceeded $1 million in August 2022, as they did in the prior month. Average days on market increased year-over-year and month-over-month. The list to sale ratio was down year-over-year and month-over-month.

 

It's clear that the Waxhaw area market is cooling down compared with the "feeding frenzy" we saw one year ago. By the same token, Waxhaw area home sellers were still in the driver's seat in August 2022.

 

WAXHAW AREA HOUSING MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

AUGUST 2022 VERSUS AUGUST 2021

 

Waxhaw Weddington Marvin Home Sales Report: August 2022

 

WAXHAW AREA AVERAGE & MEDIAN HOME SALE PRICES INCREASED Y-O-Y IN AUGUST

Home sale prices increased 27.0%, on average, in August 2022 compared with the same month one year ago. The average sale price was $812,019. Month-over-month, average home prices decreased approximately $10,000. The 2022 average sale price in August was approximately $287,000 higher than in August 2020.

 

The median home sale price was $650,000, up 25.0% year-over-year and about $3,000 lower than in July 2022. Compared with August 2020, the median sale price is now some $200,000 higher.

 

Price per square foot increased 15.6% to $222/square foot in August 2022 versus the same month one year ago. 

 

WAXHAW AREA HOMES SAW 100% LIST TO SALE PRICE RATIO IN AUGUST

With home sellers receiving a median 100% of list price in final sale price (down 1.1% year-over-year and 0.2% month-over-month), there was still little room for home buyers to negotiate on price in August 2022.  This indicates that the frenzied activity we saw in summer 2021 has diminished.

 

WAXHAW AREA HOMES SAW INCREASED DAYS ON MARKET

Average days on market increased 3 days to 25 days from 22 days one year ago. Average days on market were 13 days lower compared with August 2020. Average days on market also increased 4 days month-over-month. 

 

Median days on market were 6 days in August, up 3 days year-over-year and up one day month-over-month. Median days on market decreased 5 days from two years ago in August. 

 

WAXHAW AREA SALES WERE DOWN IN AUGUST 2022

Closed sales decreased 23.2% while pending sales decreased 23.7% in August 2022 compared with the same month one year ago. This is the eighth consecutive month that closed sales in the Waxhaw area decreased while home prices increased.

 

Earlier in the year it was evident that lack of inventory stifled sales. Since interest rates have increased the monthly mortgage costs by 50% in the past couple of months, it's apparent that sales are also being stifled by buyers who are stepping back from the market for now, as evidenced by the decrease in foot traffic through listed properties year-over-year.

 

Foot traffic in listed properties was down. Homes for sale in August saw 8.4 showings on average compared with 14.1 showings one year ago and 10.1 showings two years ago.

 

WAXHAW AREA'S MONTHS SUPPLY & HOUSING INVENTORY INCREASED, WHILE NEW LISTINGS DECREASED IN AUGUST

Inventory increased 10.7% year-over-year. The months supply of homes of 1.8 months in August increased 0.6 months year-over-year and 0.2 months from July 2022.  New listings were down 16.2% in August 2022 compared with the same month one year ago.

Joan Cox hi Joan... Weddington and Marvin are two little "hamlets" in the Charlotte area where homes average over $1 million because they are large custom homes on large acreage. The really distort the overall averages. Waxhaw itself is just $625,000.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 hi Sheila... well, Waxhaw area home prices are up (in the stratosphere)... but actual sales continue to decrease. Harder for people to afford those prices.

Norma J. Elkins hi Norma... our increases in inventory are not yet doing much to generate actual sales and in August new listings went down over much of the region. Meantime, home prices continue to stay high.

Thank you for your update.  We have had a similar market in Elk Grove over the last few months.  I need to get to my update for August, though.  I have been a little slow.  There is just too much going on.

Hi Nina - thank you for another thorough report. There is so much information out there that it is hard to decide what to do. If I were a seller or buyer in your area, you would be the one I'd call.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... that's why I tell everyone to ignore the media headlines. I keep close track of trends but learned a long time ago not to worry about things until I really need to worry about them.
