April 2011 Home Sales Overview
Due to the 2010 tax credit, current market
activity can look drastically different than it
did one year ago, but there is some positive
news in the mix to suggest that recovery is
under way.
Inventory levels in April shrank 16.5 percent
to 22,999 units – a positive trend that should
preserve market balance. Prices were more or
less stable. The Median Sales Price increased

2.0 percent to $153,000. The List to Close met-
ric increased 8.6 percent to 154 days. The
supply-demand balance improved as Months
Supply of Inventory was down 9.8 percent to
12.5 months. The segment of homes that
tended to sell quickest was the $100,00 and
below range at 127 average days on market.
Single family homes saw the largest price gain.
Nationally, the interest rate is 5.0 percent on a
30-year fixed conventional and the unemploy-
ment rate edged up to 9.0 percent in April,
even as the economy added 244,000 jobs. Job
seekers showed more confidence, a potential
indicator of future housing demand. Moving
forward, expect a different story to unfold in
our market. We'll soon be comparing current
activity to a post-credit slump that occurred
during the summer and fall of 2010.
There were 1882 total closings in April 2011, down 15% compared
to April 2010. 64% of all home sales in April 2011 were in the
$200,000 and under category. The average closing price for the
Charlotte metro area in April 2011 was $203,428, up 1.0% from April
2010. In April 2011, new listings decreased by 26%, pending sales
decreased by 25%, and total active listings decreased by 16.5%.
