Good morning!

With the one small exception of a little blip down in average home prices month over month, it sounds like prices are nowhere near leveling out in Matthews NC. With the prices and inventory levels where they are, the sellers market continues.

Enjoy your day...

Kat Palmiotti good morning to you, Kat. Those little blips in pricing are often the result of the price mix of homes that sold. Matthews has a very wide range of home prices. I don't see prices dropping in any meaningful way anytime soon. Happy Tuesday to you.

I am seeing moderation in list price, but not really in sale price. It is an interesting time, indeed.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... I've been conservative in pricing my listings (without giving the house away). And they all sell above list price and not just a little bit above list price. The lack of inventory continues to drive prices up albeit not quite as much a a couple of years ago.

Endre Barath, Jr. I agree, Endre... and we have parts of the Charlotte metro area that are under 30 days, which I think is a really fast market.
