August 2011 Home Sales Overview
Despite some rough economic sledding in August, there have been noteworthy shifts on both sides of the closing table. Buyer activity is moving back in line with historical trends while sellers are making fewer con-cessions in order to sell their homes. Falling supply and improving absorption rates in many regions also suggest that market bal-ance is realigning towards neutral. Locally, a few indicators posted positive movement

over August 2010. New Listings in the Char-lotte region decreased 18.4 percent to 3,886. Pending Sales were up 24.6 percent to 2,258. Inventory levels shrank 22.5 per-cent to 20,924 units, dampening any poten-tial oversupply issues down the road. Prices dipped lower. The Median Sales Price de-creased 2.5 percent to $158,000. List to Close increased 0.1 percent to 146 days. Absorption rates improved as Months Sup-
ply of Inventory was down 15.3 percent to 11.4 months. The economy bobbed along just this side of positive in August. Con-sumer confidence, which often affects housing demand, showed some slack even as personal income and spending both in-creased modestly. Low interest rates, de-clining supply and stabilizing prices are bea-cons of hope in the harbor, but the recov-ery still needs wind in its sails
