CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA HOMES FOR SALE:  SEPTEMBER, 2008 REPORT

Charlotte North Carolina Homes for SaleCharlotte, despite the national market trend, continues to show a relatively stable real estate market.  Charlotte North Carolina homes for sale, including ONLY single family homes (no condos/townhomes, farms or land), are currently at 6,538 properties available.  Of those 6538 (graph below) homes on the market in Charlotte, 810 of them are new construction single family homes.  Days on the market are somewhat higher for new construction but, some of the data is skewed by homes that are listed when building begins rather than completion of building with CO (certificate of occupancy) obtained.

Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate market absorption rate is shown below.  Note the slight increase of our supply over the past year from 8.41 month supply to 8.66 month supply.  Again, we're definitely in a buyer's market but, sellers continue to procure over 96% of their asking price!  Days on the market have also not increased significantly (from 81 to 87).  Not bad for a 'down' market is it?

Charlotte North Carolina Real Estate Market Absorption Trends

September sales in the Charlotte NC market show (below)  that sellers walked away with 96% of their list price and their time on the market was 90 days.  Again, these listings are only those that are single family homes sold in Charlotte NC in September, 2008.

SOLDS, Sept 2008

Finally, the Charlotte North Carolina real estate sales graph below shows a breakdown in price range of the homes SOLD in September, 2008.  Higher priced homes ARE moving but, their days on the market are somewhat longer than those under $250K.  This is to be expected in any market!

Thanks Sharon!  I do a Google or Yahoo search on 'Create a graph' and one of the free sites comes up--I can't remember the name, but it comes right up to the top of the search!  It's for children and it is SOOO easy to use!
