Original: Charlotte-area home sales drop 8.7% as buyers grow more selective amid affordability concerns
Home sales in the Charlotte, North Carolina region dropped 8.7%, with buyers becoming more selective amid ongoing affordability concerns. Higher borrowing costs and elevated home prices appear to be prompting house hunters to hesitate, slowing transactions across the metro area. The figure points to a cooling local housing market and adds to signs that affordability pressures are reshaping buyer behavior in fast-growing Southeastern cities.
Why now: Affordability and mortgage-rate pressures are making homebuyers hesitant, and the drop signals a cooling housing market in a fast-growing region.
