Waxhaw Area (28173 Zip Code) Housing Market Update/Video: October 2018
The Waxhaw/Weddington/Marvin areas housing market remained a seller’s market in October 2018, suffering from a distinct lack of affordable, resale homes with average home prices now in the mid $400,000’s. New construction remains a driving force in the 28173 zip code, further driving up average and median home prices.
