The Triangle housing market continues to evolve, presenting both opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers alike. Here are the latest statistics for the week of August 5th, 2024.
New Listings
This week, we saw a slight increase in new listings. The number of new homes on the market rose from 1,253 last week to 1,269 this week, marking a 1.3% increase. This uptick in new listings indicates a healthy flow of properties entering the market, providing more options for prospective buyers.
Back on Market
Homes that were previously off the market but have now returned saw a notable increase. The “Back on Market” category jumped from 137 to 149, an 8.8% rise. This could be due to various factors such as financing issues or changes in buyer circumstances.
Pending Sales
Pending sales saw a slight decline this week, dropping by 1.4% from 939 to 926. While this decrease is minor, it suggests a slight cooling in buyer activity, which could be a result of seasonal trends or shifts in market sentiment.
Price Changes
The most dramatic change this week is in the “Price Change” category. There was a staggering 1032.7% increase, with the number of price changes skyrocketing from 1,169 to 13,241. This significant spike indicates a highly dynamic market where sellers are adjusting their prices to attract buyers or respond to competitive pressures.
Sold Listings
The number of sold homes saw a healthy increase, rising by 13.0% from 980 to 1,107. This boost in sales reflects strong buyer interest and the successful closing of transactions, highlighting the market’s resilience.
Expired Listings
Expired listings, or homes that were taken off the market after failing to sell, saw a significant increase of 242.1%, from 126 to 431. This surge might suggest that some properties are not meeting buyer expectations or that pricing strategies need adjustment.
Active Listings
The total number of active listings grew by 3.0%, from 7,483 to 7,708. This increase in inventory provides more choices for buyers, contributing to a more balanced market.
Market Insights
The Triangle area continues to be a dynamic real estate market with significant fluctuations in key metrics. The substantial increase in price changes suggests that sellers are actively seeking to align with market demands. Meanwhile, the rise in new and active listings indicates a robust supply of homes for buyers to choose from.
