Definitely not in our region of North Carolina. Less inventory here than there are folks trying to buy.

When we bought 1.5 years ago in Charlotte NC properties sold superfast at list price (under a week), which is what we paid. Covid did not change list prices, demand does that, but inventory is down in the area we bought, I don't keep up with the entire Charlotte metro as a non-realtor. It's been a hot market for years.

Zillow says our home appreciated 10% in 1.5 years.
I have noticed that realtors here price for quick sale, they do not bump the price up. They wanna MOVE the property get their commission and get the next listing.

Prices are up and inventory is extremely low. Nothing for sale in my neighborhood currently. Couple sales in Fall at full ask that sold the day they were listed.

We own two homes in Florida; both have SOARED in value this past year. Very low inventory and HUGE demand. Honestly I was shocked - I thought sure Covid would make prices fall....

Nope. In mine they are getting 30-40k over asking pricing all day long. Denver, CO.

We bought in Jan of last year. Our house has already gone up 50k in value.

I received an offer that was over 30K more than what I asked for (and I thought I was pricing fair, not low). Whether my house can actually appraise for the amount that was offered is a different story, but one can only hope!
