28278 ZIP Code Real Estate Trends

Percentage of Homes Under Contract (28278)

The 28278 ZIP Code is synonymous with the Steele Creek / Southeast Charlotte area. The graph above shows the percentage of previously owned homes that have been under contract in the 28278 ZIP Code area over time. Terra Vista Realty tracks this data on a daily basis using Canopy MLS data. We think our graph offers a good tool to gauge how quickly re-sales homes are getting scooped up by buyers. When the percentage of homes under contract is high, demand will be strong relative to supply - driving up prices. Conversely, the lower the percentage of homes under contract, the more of a buyer's market exists.

Reduced fees definitely don't mean reduced service. Tom was fantastic to work with. We used his services as both a buyer's agent and a seller's agent.
