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, Chapel Hill Houses For Sale saw:

  • Closed sales decline 8.1% (rather than 12% at the end of November),
  • Median prices were up 2.7%,
  • Average prices declined 1.6%, and
  • Days on market increased from 83 to 97.

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.

Don’t forget to make Durham Homes For Sale a favorite so that you can see monthly updates on the Chapel Hill Real Estate market.
