April 2019 Overview
According to the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association Housing Supply overview, the number of homes for sale is beginning an upward trend. Sales are strong in the higher price points above $300,000 while the entry level market for first-time buyers remains very competitive due to limited inventory in price ranges at $250,000 and below. This is good news for Sellers overall, but particularly in the entry level price ranges where demand exceeds supply, thereby driving up pricing in those price points.
In Charlotte, over the last 12 months from April 2018 to March 2019, pending sales have increased 11% while closed sales have remained level with last year. New Listings are down approximately 1%. The strongest sales activity was in the Single Family home category in the $300,001 and above range with the largest gain at 9.4%.
The Median Sales Price of Charlotte area homes is up 4.8% to $240,000, continuing to indicate a strong Sellers market for homeowners. The condo/townhome segment saw the highest price increase at 8.9 percent to $195,894. The price range that sold the quickest was in the $150,001 to $200,000 range at 25 days. The slowest-selling price range was $300,001 and above range at 63 days.
Home inventory levels were down 8.7 percent overall. However, the property class that gained the most inventory was the Condo/Townhome segment which increase 10.2 percent. Still, it amounts to 2.3 months supply for Single-Family homes and 1.7 months supply for Condos/Townhomes. Note that a six-month supply of inventory represents a balanced market, so all classes of properties are lagging substantially from a healthy and balanced market. Great news for sellers; not so much for buyers unless they’re shopping in the $300,000+ range where inventory levels are better.
