Local Housing Market Shows Signs of Normalization
This week’s market update for the Triangle area reveals a significant shift compared to the previous week’s hot streak. Let’s dive into the details and see what these changes might mean for you:
- New Listings Drop Sharply: Following a brief dip last week, new listings entering the market saw a substantial decrease of -28.1%. This could be a natural correction after the previous week’s lower numbers or sellers re-evaluating their strategies in light of recent price adjustments.
- Fewer Homes Back on Market: The number of homes returning to active status also dropped by -18.6% compared to last week. This suggests sellers might be satisfied with the current market conditions or adjusting their pricing to attract buyers.
- Pending Contracts See Significant Decline: Pending sales took a considerable hit with a -31.1% decrease. This could be due to several factors – buyers might be taking a wait-and-see approach after the recent surge in sales activity, or some pending contracts from the previous week might have closed successfully.
- Price Reductions Continue, Though at a Slower Pace: The average listing price showed another decrease of -10.4%. While significant, this is a smaller drop compared to the previous week, suggesting a potential stabilization in pricing strategies.
- Sales Activity Slows Down: Closed sales saw a significant decline of -57.4% compared to the previous week’s surge. This is likely a natural correction following the prior week’s exceptional activity.
- Expired Listings Plummet: This is a major win for sellers! Expired listings dropped by a dramatic -78.2%, indicating properties are finding buyers much more readily in the current market environment.
