Lake Norman Real Estate’s May 2017 Market Report: WOW!

My May numbers, both closed sales and new contracts, indicate that our Lake Norman real estate market is still very much in a consistent streak of very strong activity.  197 closed sales is the best month this year and the 5th highest monthly sales in all of Lake Norman since 2005!  As you can see below, our  2017 May sales were 31% higher than last May’s. And, our combined total of under contract properties is 7.6% higher than last year’s. Let’s take a closer look:

Lake Norman Real Estate’s January 2017 Market Report

What a great way to start out 2017.  Our Lake Norman real estate sales were 29% higher than last January’s AND, for the first time in 13 years, they even exceeded our record set in 2005!  While there are a few dark spots in our numbers, it looks like our momentum from last year has carried over into January.  What’s next?

Lake Norman Real Estate’s October 2016 Market Report:

Lake Norman’s overall real estate market is still extremely active despite entering into our seasonally slower months. 4 of the past 5 months have beaten the same months in 2015 and 3 of the 4 by double digits! In October we closed 17% more home sales than last October and based upon our new contracts it looks like this momentum is going to continue throughout the next several months at least. Mercurial has been emphatically replaced by momentum as my favorite adjective to describe our current Lake Norman real estate market.  Let’s take a closer look:

Lake Norman Real Estate’s August 2016 Market Report is Up, Up and Up!

After being let down last month, August turned out to be a record breaking month for Lake Norman’s single family home sales; up an impressive 18%.  The new norm here seems to be an every other month record breaking high (June and August) or sadly weak month (May and July). I have used mercurial to describe our 2016 real estate market and August served to underscore this characteristic.  Let’s take a closer look:

Lake Norman Real Estate’s 2nd Quarter Price Range Analysis: Great Tool for Buyers and Sellers!

If you are a home buyer or seller in the Lake Norman area it really only matters what is happening in YOUR price-range. Yes, it is important to know about the global economy, the national economy and the Charlotte area economy and real estate market but real estate is hyper-local so it is most meaningful to learn about the Lake Norman real estate market and within that, your specific niche. For instance, if you are looking to buy or sell in the $700,000 price range, you are going to have an entirely different experience than someone in the $800,000’s. This is the reason why I create a price-range analysis every quarter for my readers:

Lake Norman Real Estate’s April 2016 Market Report: Interesting Trends Emerging!

So, the good news is that Lake Norman’s deplorable March closed sales does appear to have been a one-month aberration of what has otherwise been a pretty good year.  Last month I wrote “I am positive this dip is short lived because we currently have 297 homes under contract compared to last year’s 272. Clearly we are now on a terror! ” I think it is fair to say that still holds true and then some.  Let’s take a closer look:
