Ballantyne Real Estate July 2018
Ballantyne real estate July 2018 saw the same trends we’ve been seeing all year with home prices up, inventory tight, pending and closed sales diminishing due to the lack of new listings and inventory.
Ballantyne Real Estate July 2018 Update
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BALLANTYNE REAL ESTATE JULY 2018 MARKET?
The average sale price of Ballantyne homes increased by 1.8% to just over $368,000 as compared with the same period one year ago. (Median sale price in July also increased 5.9% versus one year ago.)
Average days on market for property listings in Ballantyne were 33 days. Median days on market stood at at 10 days in July 2018.
Average price per square foot increased by 5.1% to $145/square foot in July 2018 versus the same period in 2017. Pending sales in Ballantyne were down 9.4% in July versus the same month last year. July 2018 closed sales in Ballantyne were down 9.7%. It’s not unreasonable to assume that both pending and closed sales would have been higher if there had been more inventory, which increased a scant 0.8 % in July 2018 versus the prior year.
New listings in Ballantyne decreased 8.2% versus July 2017, contributing to the strain of a high demand market starved of available inventory. The Ballantyne area’s months supply of homes was 1.9 months.
The number of showings per listing and the number of showings until pending contract per listing also dropped. During July 2018, listed homes averaged 9.7 showings (down 5.8% versus July 2017) and 22 showings until pending contract (down 4.3% versus the same time period one year ago). Given the tight inventory of available homes for sale, it’s not surprising that listed homes get less “foot traffic” prior to going under contract, while showings until pending contracts decrease as homes sell more quickly.
The median percent of original list price that sellers received for their homes was 98.2%, showing little negotiating room in the 28277 zip code for Ballantyne area homes.
Ballantyne’s housing market in 2018 continues as the prior year ended… as a seller’s market in the 28277 zip code and very competitive, with many homes selling within days of being listed for sale.
The strong housing market we’ve seen in the Ballantyne area throughout 2016 and 2017 continues into the third quarter of 2018, as Ballantyne area homes continued to sell, sell faster, and sell for more money.
