🏡 Is the Hickory real estate market slowing down? Not exactly.

Right now, we’re seeing strong activity at both ends of the market—affordable homes and luxury properties are getting attention.

But what about the middle? 👀

Homes priced between $350K and $750K are seeing slower activity, largely due to limited inventory and fewer people making moves.

The good news? Buyers have a little more negotiating power than they did a few years ago.

Whether you're buying or selling, understanding what's happening at your price point is key to making the right move.
