Triangle NC Home Sales and Prices for January, 2014



Home sales and prices for Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and all the Triangle, NC for January, 2014
Triangle Homes Sales UP 11.2 percent in January, 2014!
 
Pending Sales:      7.6%
Prices:                  Med Price up10.8% - $198,600
Listings:                 2%
Inventory:              7.1%
Days on Market:    9.6% to 103 days
Absorption Rate:   4.7 months = Sellers Market (but bargains can still be found)


 
Potential TRENDS to watch for in 2014 include increased seller activity, more new construction and fewer foreclosures on the market.   Job growth is still sluggish, and that will affect our real estate market in the coming year.

What does this mean for you?  Well, if you’re thinking of selling, now would be an excellent time to get a fresh comparative market analysis.  You may be in a much more positive position than in the past.  And, the number of available homes is at historic lows which is making it easier for sellers – you are in an exceptional position!  Homes that are properly prepped and priced sell quickly. 
.
If you’re thinking of buying, interest rates remain attractive and should remain below their long-term average.  That said, they are expected to creep higher in 2014.  Great homes are still available and some sellers are still willing to negotiate.

Whatever you're thinking, give me a call and I'll give you all the information you need to make the SMART decision.
