Pending home sales dropped again in July. Down 2.3% from June nationally, 2.2% from a year ago.

Here’s the real reason. Rates hit their highest point of the year right in the middle of summer, when buyers are usually moving the most. Add in prices still sitting at record highs and people just aren’t rushing right now.

I’m seeing it play out the same way here in Lincoln County. Homes are staying on the market longer, 58 days compared to 52 last July. Closed sales are down 18% while new listings are up over 20%, so there’s more to choose from and less pressure to move fast. Median price is still climbing, now at $352,000, but buyers have room to negotiate that they didn’t have a year ago.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a window, this might be it.

Every shift like this creates an opening for somebody. Worth finding out if it’s you.

Pending home sales in July decreased by 2.3% month-over-month and 2.2% year-over-year.

Closing week for an old classmate 🏡

We marketed their current property, secured a contract, and pulled off a great double closing at Tindall Law, all while creating a strategic plan around what their family needed in a next home to make sure we found the right fit for where they’re headed next.

Grateful to be part of their new home journey, from old classmates to new homeowners.

Congratulations to my clients and the new homeowners of Bill Lynch.

Good connectivity isn’t just about travel, it shapes where families choose to build their lives.

CLT is the 7th busiest airport by aircraft traffic with 192 nonstop destinations. New Naples service starting Dec 2 is another reminder that living here means genuine access. Whether it’s staying close to family, exploring second homes, or just getting out quick.

Proximity matters more than most realize when choosing where to land

Turns out you don’t need a passport for Naples after all.

Beginning Dec. 2, American Airlines will offer twice daily service between CLT and Naples Airport aboard a CRJ-700!

Missed this one but glad to see it happening.

Wellness on the Square at the Historic Courthouse is a good look for Lincolnton. Cannot wait for the next one
