As you can see, the number of homes sold in the million to $1.5MM has decreased 54% in the past 4 years while the average price has decreased by approximately 6%. BUT, the size of the homes has grown by 11% so, buyers are buying larger homes for less money. The price per square foot dropped from $243.39 in 2007 to $209.60 in 2011 – 14% lower!
So, now thata large number of Realtors are reporting a huge surge in activity have we have finally hit the bottom of the market in Charlotte, NC?? The Buzz thinks so therefore those of you interested in purchasing luxury homes in Charlotte should probably consider moving forward! If you have been waiting for the market to stop falling in price, we certainly appear to have finally gotten there.
