The decrease in months of supply of inventory has also shown positive indication that our market is stabalizing. We do remain in a buyer's market in the Charlotte NC Metro market but, pricing is stabalizing and with DOM decreasing, months of supply decreasing and increased written Contracts, we're gingerly headed towards that coveted seller's market!
The statistics for the Charlotte NC Metro 7-county area include the counties of Mecklenburg, Union, York, Lancaster, Gaston, Iredell and Cabarrus. The 7 county stats are for single family homes only in these NC & SC metro counties.

Debe, Good to hear that things are picking up. They are here too. I'm on track to have one of the best Marches in years. Cool...
The question, of course, is does the number for "written business" include Short Sales. . . Inclusion of Short Sales in "written business" or, as the NAR does, Pendings" has completely changed the dynamic between these stats and Closed Sales.
Debe, sure looks like the activity is hot in your neck of the woods this season. Thanks for the chart.
Debe, 1st of all you do such a great job on your market reports. You always do - but more important.... I just noticed you hit a HUGE milestone! over 1/2 million points here in the rain. I just have to say I'm so proud of you! You are always so helpful to everyone... your posts are great and it's been a pleasure to get to know you. Hope to see you at RETS and get a chance to spend some time offline together!!
