October Home Sales in The Triangle
Triangle wide closed sales are up 4.5%, median prices are up 3.8%. The average days on market is 67. However, if you look at sales where there were no price reductions, the average days on market was actually 50 and if a seller made price reductions, the average days on market was 142! Also, Triangle wide, there is 5 months of inventory on the market which is not much.
The picture is a little different in Chapel Hill where closed sales – year-to-date – are down 8.7%, median prices are down 1.6%, the average days on market 58 days if there was no price reduction and 171 days if there was a price reduction. Also of note, there is 7 months of inventory on the market which is well above the 5 months on average for the entire Triangle.
Durham is doing a bit better. Home sales are up 3.8% in Durham, median prices are up 5% and the average days on market with no price reduction is 45 and 132 with a price reduction. Durham’s supply of inventory is 4 months which below the market average.
This indicates it is more of a seller’s market in Durham and a buyer’s market in Chapel Hill.
Cary is also doing well. Home sales in Cary are up 1.4% and median prices are up 7.9%. The average days on market with no price reduction is 36 days – which is amazing – and 115 with a price reduction. Most notable, Cary has 2.8 months of inventory on the market which indicates it is a fairly strong seller’s market.

Picnics and coolers are welcome but no glass, please. Food and beverages are also available at the American Tobacco restaurants that surround the Amphitheater. Concerts are held next to the Lucky Strike Water tower.
