City spotlight: Chatanooga, TN Home sales in Chattanooga surged by 9.5%, indicating robust buyer interest. The inventory of homes for sale expanded by 15%, providing more options for buyers in the market. Despite this, the average days on market increased by 22.2% to 44 days, suggesting a slightly longer wait for sellers to close deals. While Chattanooga predicts a 2024 -3.6% sales growth and 2% price growth, the market for rentals has started to slow down after experiencing double-digit growth in 2021 and 2022. Renting is still anticipated to be the more affordable choice even if median asking prices and mortgage rates are predicted to decline. Unfortunately for first-time homebuyers, this will still be a challenging market in 2024. However, the share of income required to purchase a home is expected to decline with the easing of mortgage rates. In 2024, the typical home purchase cost is expected to drop under $2,200, which is about 35% of income. This is a drop from the 37% of income needed to purchase homes in 2023. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and shifts in your markets to make informed decisions for your real estate needs. #Chattanooga #RealEstate #HousingMarket #Buyers #Sellers #Rentals #Homebuyers #MortgageRates

Georgia’s commercial real estate market has been gaining traction, especially in the industrial sector. As e-commerce continues to expand, the demand for distribution centers and warehouses in Georgia is stronger than ever. The state’s strategic infrastructure—featuring the Port of Savannah, major interstate access, and the world’s busiest airport in Atlanta—positions it as a key logistics hub. This connectivity isn’t just attracting domestic companies; it’s also drawing international businesses looking for efficient access to U.S. markets. Investors are finding that industrial properties in Georgia offer long-term stability, with consistent demand from companies optimizing their supply chains. While traditional office spaces may face higher vacancy rates, the industrial sector is not only resilient but also thriving. If you’re seeking an investment that aligns with logistics growth and offers stable returns, Georgia’s industrial real estate market presents a compelling opportunity.

Raleigh Metro/Wake County, North Carolina Sets New Average Price Mark. Market Feels Very Different, Where Does it Go From Here? May 2024 is the first month that the sales price of Wake County homes will average over $600,000.00, as of right now $611,706.00 and the median home price is $501,000.00. This is where the market is, but where is it going? The first five months of 2024 have felt like the first five months of 2023. Sales are almost equal, contracts written very similar, prices are up. Strangely the last four weeks have felt different, the of winds of unwarranted confidence are blowing strongly, buyer conversations are very tepid, friends in other industries are telling feeling the same, could be me, could be the market. When in doubt turn to data. YTD 2024: 6480 homes sold at an average price of $573,172.00.* YTD 2023: 6591 homes sold at an average price of $546,493.00 *2024 units and average price will rise as May numbers are still being reported. May 2024: 1502 homes sold at an average sales price of $611,706.00 May 2023: 1570 homes sold at an average sales price of $569,453.00 April 2024: 1540 homes sold at an average sales price of $592,556.00 Unit sales are flat, strong price growth. I like to measure market velocity: contracts written, showings, new listings. Measuring this by the week let's see where the market going in real time. Below are monthly velocity numbers. Contracts: May 2024: 1,633 at an average list price of $586,014.00 April 2024: 1,579 at an average list price of $592,281.00 Showings: May 2024: 21,290 April 2024: 23,002 May 2023: 22,646 April 2023: 24,396 New Listings: May 2024: 2,090 April 2024: 1,886 May 2023: 1,539 April 2023: 1,435 Showings per listing are down, inventory is growing, plus 764 in May and April of 2024. Of the 1210 contracts written on existing homes in May 596 sold in the first week, 46%. This is down from 54% in February 2024 and down 4% from April of 2024. The market is cooling, there are amazing opportunities in the market over the next 60 days, look for mortgage rates to move in a positive direction (coming down) in the next 90-120 days (or 60-30 days out from voting day) as we see average prices do the seasonal decline and inventory grow. The fall market will be strong, we usually see slight price increases, this fall will be stronger. Fun fact for the day, in 2019 the last "normal" market, 8,196 homes were sold in the first five months of the year. Since then Wake County has added +/- 100,000 new residents. There are a lot of buyers waiting for the right stimulus. #housingmarket #raleigh #wakecounty

Several smaller markets are expected to grow total inventory by more prolific ratios in 2025, said RealPage, Inc.. The small North Carolina market of Asheville will grow by 13.3% in 2025 – the highest rate in the nation – with the addition of over 3,500 units. Huntsville, Alabama; Wilmington, North Carolina; Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Florida; Savannah, Georgia; and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, are all expected to grow total inventory by 7% or greater in 2025. All but one of the nation’s 150 largest apartment markets are set to receive some new supply in 2025, with Youngstown, Ohio, as the only exception, said RealPage, Inc. #multifamily #markets #supply https://lnkd.in/gDc-8q4z

Reflecting on Keith Bashi's insightful retail market review at our weekly meeting held at the YMCA of the Triangle in downtown Raleigh. Sales activity in #Raleigh has dipped below normal levels, mirroring broader trends influenced by high interest rates. Despite this, the renovation of older retail properties into new commercial ventures is a key trend to watch. In the past year, Raleigh's retail properties have sold at an average of $280/SF, surpassing the national average of $210/SF. #RetailMarket #CommercialRealEstate
