2009, Year-End, Orange County NC Market Update

I am happy to report that the 2009 Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh real estate market ended on a high note. Overall all, while sales were still down, they were down much less than the 25% decline we saw in 2008 and thankfully prices held their own.

As the year ended, Orange County North Carolina saw:

  • Closed sales decline 10.6% (rather than 12% at the end of November),
  • Median prices were up 1.2%,
  • Average prices declined 1.2%, and
  • Days on market increased from 83 to 93.

While it took longer to get homes sold, most houses did sell and prices did not erode significantly.  I take this as success in a difficult time. I am looking forward to a robust 2010 as our economy begins to improve.
