What it means
Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a couple of years ago, and there's more than four months of supply in both markets. That means more choices and more room to negotiate on price, repairs and closing costs.
Prices are still edging up, but buyers are patient. Homes that are priced right from day one and look great online are the ones that sell fastest. Overpricing now usually means sitting on the market and cutting later.
The typical Hickory-area home costs over $100,000 less than in the Charlotte metro. That gap is why so many buyers are looking up the I-40 and US-321 corridor.
