What is the price per square foot in Hickory?

Is it a buyer's or seller's market in Hickory?
Hickory currently has about 6.6 months of inventory — 187 active listings against a recent pace of roughly 28.3 sales a month. As a rule of thumb the industry reads under six months as favouring sellers and over six as favouring buyers, but that is a guideline, not a verdict on any one house.
