Dear Friends, Clients, Colleagues, I hope you are enjoying your summer so far. Whether you're home or abroad, people are on the move. As we move into late summer, it's more important than ever to recharge and relax before busy fall schedules become the order of the day.

Our major markets continue to experience forward momentum, and we have begun to note the early signs of a market more interested in maintaining steady (not frenetic) growth. The third quarter of 2022 continues this theme, with sellers eager to put their homes on the market before schools start or prepare to list in the early fourth quarter when autumn brings an enviable curb appeal charisma to residential neighborhoods throughout the markets we serve.

If you are looking to purchase a home in the Carolina's major metro areas, expect to be still competing with many other qualified buyers. Rates are ticking up, but the housing shortage is the real issue. While rates are not as favorable as they have been, they are right around where they were prepandemic.

Sellers, your home will continue to see a lot of equity gains this year, but make sure you are working with a real estate professional and pricing expert to ensure your home is priced competitively for the market!

Throughout our markets this year, we will continue to instill our commitment to our agents and consumers, celebrating our vision, "We Empower Dreams Through Real Estate," and our company values; Empower. Excellence. Belong.

It's important for us to understand your needs and help make your real estate dreams a reality.

When considering your real estate needs in 2022, you may have questions about making a move, what your home might be worth, or what is involved in putting a home up for sale.

Let our professional REALTORS® here at Wilkinson ERA guide you through the entire process–we are always available to answer any questions you may have!

Eb Moore, President & CEO Wilkinson ERA Real Estate & Our Family of Companies.

"Sellers..make sure you are working with a real estate professional and pricing expert to ensure your home is priced competitively for the current market!" -Eb Moore, President & CEO, Wilkinson ERA Real Estate Wilkinson ERA Real Estate Q2 | 2022.

CHARLOTTE AREA RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY The second quarter of 2022 for the Charlotte Region residential real estate market continued to highlight the strong buyer demand. Median Sales Prices continued to surge upward, with a 20% increase in year-on-year sale prices! We're starting to see the uptick in housing supply and Charlotte's housing inventory has risen by more than 18% based on 2021's numbers. Homes that are on the market are still experiencing record low Days on Market and sellers are getting over asking price for their homes, on average.

The Average Sales Price also jumps up in the Charlotte area and Mecklenburg County, where we see Inventory and Month's Supply begin to increase, albeit slowly. Between buyer demand and the low inventory, homes priced right for the market will not last!

Key observations from the second Quarter of 2022 are: Homes in the Charlotte region have, on average, sold for 102.5% of the asking price in this active seller's market during the second quarter of 2022. A slight increase on Q2 2021.

Second quarter sales results saw inventory in the Charlotte area rise 12.7%, with Month's Supply at 1.1, an 18.2% increase year-over-year.

The shortest average time to have an offer accepted on a home in Charlotte (on average) is 15 days, over 12% lower than 2021 results.

In both Charlotte City and Mecklenburg County, home prices continue to rise in double-digit percentages over last year's Q2 results. Charlotte's Average Sales Price is now $462,378, an increase of more than 17.5%!

THE TRIAD | WINSTON SALEM RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY In Q2 of 2022, the Median Sales Price in Winston-Salem, NC was $281K, trending up 22.2% year-over-year. This laid-back city poised for continued growth is located in Forsyth County in the north-central part of North Carolina. The metro area lies along the Carolina Core in the heart of North Carolina, a 120+ mile stretch running between Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Greensboro, & High Point. The Triad's big draw? Affordability!

P8

THE TRIAD | GREENSBORO RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY U.S. News and World Reports ranked Greensboro #94 in the nation for Best Places to Live and #71 in Best Places to Retire. Part of the Piedmont Triad, with a low cost of living and a Q2 2022 Median Sales Price of $307,900, it's one of North Carolina's more affordable metro areas. Like the rest of the Piedmont Triad, there's approximately one month of inventory available!

P9

THE TRIAD | HIGH POINT RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY High Point is located alongside Greensboro and Winston-Salem in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, the nation’s 33rd largest metro area with a population exceeding 1.7 million. Home of High Point University and the famous annual High Point Market, the world's largest home furnishings trade show. High Point offers outstanding value for homebuyers, while sellers can expect to receive 102.8% of List Price.

P10

THE TRIAD | WILKES COUNTY RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY Wilkes County is widely known for its county seat, Wilkesboro, and its largest town, North Wilkesboro. The area is widely known for MerleFest, an annual "traditional plus" music festival held in Wilkesboro each spring. Wilkesboro homebuyers enjoy a relatively low sales price compared to larger metro areas in North Carolina and a slightly higher inventory of homes available for buyers seeking value and proximity to Winston Salem.

P11

ASHEVILLE RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY Asheville continues to see Average and Median Sales Prices increase with Month's Supply still dropping, based on strong buyer demand. With such a low inventory, it's no surprise that Closed Sales have dropped more than 10% on Q2 2021 figures. Expect more of the same in Q3 2022, with prices continuing to rise and both inventory and Days on Market continuing to drop, unlike other NC metro areas.

Asheville (Region)

P12

In the pastoral setting of Buncombe County, Asheville's home county, the Q2 Average Sales Price for homes was up 18% year-on-year. On average, homes in Buncombe County are on the market for 22 days, more than 40% faster than this time last year. While Buncombe County offers greater selection and opportunities for first-time buyers, its new developments and luxury communities have put upward pressure on home prices outpacing Asheville.

P14

THE TRIANGLE AREA | RALEIGH RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY Raleigh’s real estate market is already red hot, with prices at record highs and no sign of them coming down any time soon, solidifying Raleigh's position as the #3 hottest market in the U.S. Home values are forecasted to continue to rise in the capital city’s real estate market, pushing the Average Sales Price of Raleigh homes to $542,611–marking a year of Raleigh home prices exceeding $500,000.

P15

THE TRIANGLE AREA | DURHAM RESIDENTIAL SALES SUMMARY All of the Triangle Area real estate markets remain hot, with the areas of Durham and Wake County showing particular demand. That's positive news for sellers, with equity occupying the most popular seat at the table. For buyers, inventory and rapidly rising sales prices will add a unique challenge with little relief in sight–in fact, quite the opposite as prices are expected to continue an upward trend throughout 2022.
