WAXHAW AREA SALES DROPPED TO THEIR LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2020
Closed sales decreased in February 2023 to 53, down 13.1% from 61 sold properties in January and down 30.3% from 76 sold properties in February 2022. The February 2023 sales were at their lowest level compared to February 2022 and February 2021. This was also the lowest level of closed sales in three years.
Earlier in the year it was evident that lack of inventory stifled sales. As interest rates have significantly increased monthly mortgage costs since June, it's apparent that sales are slowing and buyers are stepping back from the market for now, as also evidenced by the decrease in foot traffic through listed properties year-over-year.
Foot traffic in listed properties was down significantly. Homes for sale in February had 9.1 showings, on average, compared with 25.1 showings one year ago. This was a 63.7% decrease in buyer foot traffic. Month-over-month, foot traffic decreases compared with 11.3 showings in January.
