While the Charlotte/Mecklenburg County market continued its recent trends for another month with unit sales and prices down, there were some interesting blips.  Inventories in general dropped in many submarkets, but it remains to be seen whether that is just the Christmas effect or a real trend.  Matthews actually recorded price increases, although continuing down in units and a rising inventory.  Weddington is now over four years for inventory, but recorded a slight upward price trend based on averaged (smoothed) data.  While still down on units, Fort Mill showed a jump in average price; may be an anomaly.
