Charlotte Region 2019 Housing Market Quick Facts
Charlotte region remained a seller’s market in 2019. Low inventory, fewer new listings, lower days on market all resulted in higher home sale prices and a lower affordability index. With a strong economy and low interest rates, demand for homes continues to outpace availability of homes for sale.
With a razor-thin 1.7 months of housing inventory at 2019 year-end, there is no doubt that the Charlotte region remained a seller’s market in 2019. This is the most critical aspect of the Charlotte market right now, as it has been for the last several years: the lack of homes for buyers to purchase. Availability of affordable homes is really at critical shortage. It’s the supply of homes, or rather lack thereof, that is helping drive Charlotte area home prices up and the housing affordability index down as demand continues to outpace supply.
