If you’re curious about the difference between average and median home prices I have a more detailed article on this blog.

Percent of Original List Price Received

The percent of original list price received, meaning there were no changes to the original list price, increased 1.4% from 98.1% to 99.5%. Most sellers are getting what they are asking for on the open market.

This number accounts for changes in listing price, a drop in price for example, and does not include any seller concessions (repair concessions, home warranties, closing costs, etc).

Percent of List Price Received August 2020

We saw a 0.9% increase from 99.2% to 100.1%. The number of the one-hundredth percentile accounts for multiple offers that exceed the current listing price.

Days on Market August 2020

We saw a sharp decrease of 25.0% for days on market. Last years average was 27 and has decreased to 20. Year to date declined by 3.7% from 27 to 26. Home in Wake County are selling more rapidly.

Inventory of Homes for Sale

Inventory declined by 44.9% from 4,444 homes for sale in August 2019 to only 2,447 in August 2020.

Months Supply of Inventory

All things being equal, a balanced market is considered to be one in which there is a 6 month supply of Inventory. This means that if no other inventory hit the market it would take 6 months to see all the available homes listed for sale–make sense.

The current supply of inventory in Wake County as of August 2020 is 1.3 months a 50% decrease from 2.6 months last year! There is still not enough inventory to satisfy demand. This, in my opinion, is what is driving prices so aggressively. There are many buyers who have been trying to buy a house for months, and even years, but have not been able to get one under contract.
