Triangle North Carolina Home Sales Continue to Rise!

TRIANGLE NC HOME SALES CONTINUE TO RISE!

It appears as though the somewhat higher mortgage rates have not had any effect on the sales of homes in the Triangle, NC -– yet.  Perhaps the thought that mortgage rates may rise even higher is spurring this demand.  What do you think?  

I continue to see more competitive offers for homes that are priced right

August 2013 Quick Home Sales and Price Facts

Average Sales Price UP 4.2 percent

 Number of Days on Market (time it took to sell) is DOWN to 93 days 


Number of closed sales UP 19.4 percent

 - Available Inventory of Homes DOWN 8.7 percent 
 - Number of homes that went under contract INCREASED to 2,829 
 - Yet, inventory levels shrank to 13,727

 Months supply of inventory is down to less than 6 months

The Federal Reserve, global economic conditions, gas prices and stock market shifts all have an effect on consumer feelings which, in turn, affect our housing market.  We have seen some positive grown in the labor market and, while it is still a bit lukewarm the Fall Home Market Selling Season is very optimistic.

Would you like to know what the home sales and prices are in your neighborhood?  Get in touch and let me know -- you may be happily surprised!
