With home sellers receiving a median 97.5% of list price in final sale price (down 2.6% year-over-year and 0.1% month-over-month), home buyers had an opportunity to negotiate on price in November 2022. The buying frenzy driving home sale prices over 100% of list price in 2021 and earlier in 2022 has ended.

 

WAXHAW AREA HOMES SAW LONGER DAYS ON MARKET IN NOVEMBER 2022

Average days on market were 36 days, up one day year-over-year. Average days on market were 11 days higher compared with October 2022.

Median days on market were 21 days in November, up 13 days year-over-year.  Median days on market increased 12 days from October 2022.

 

WAXHAW AREA SALES WERE DOWN IN NOVEMBER 2022

Both closed and pending sales decreased 22% in November 2022 compared with the same month one year ago. November 2022 was the 11th consecutive month that closed sales in the Waxhaw area decreased while home prices increased. 

Earlier in the year it was evident that lack of inventory stifled sales. As interest rates have significantly increased monthly mortgage costs  since June, it’s apparent that sales are slowing  and buyers are stepping back from the market for now, as also evidenced by the decrease in foot traffic through listed properties year-over-year.

Foot traffic in listed properties was down. Homes for sale in November had 6.2 showings on average compared with 15.3 showings one year ago. This was a 59.5% decrease in buyer foot traffic. Month-over-month, foot traffic in November was down slightly at 6.2 showings compared with 7.3 in October 2022.

 

WAXHAW AREA’S MONTHS SUPPLY & HOUSING INVENTORY INCREASED | NEW LISTINGS DECREASED IN NOVEMBER 2022

Inventory increased 24.5% year-over-year. The months supply of homes of 1.9 months in November increased 0.9 months year-over-year, but declined by 0.1 months from October 2022.  New listings were down 27.3% in November 2022 compared with the same month one year ago.
