Subdude Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Best month ever for Houston home sales: How long can housing frenzy last? Houston home sales hit an all-time high in July with 7,769 homes sold – the highest monthly sales total even in Houston’s real estate history.The phenomenal July sales represented a 1 percent increase over sales last July, according to theHouston Association of Realtors, which maintains sales records going back many decades.The home selling binge began over three years ago. Houston has been a national leader in population growth and new job creation as the mortgage rates remain low. It’s brought about a bull market for housing. Houses are selling briskly with multiple buyers putting in offers on many homes, creating bidder wars and rising home prices.In July, the average “days on market” statistic dropped to 45 days, the fastest selling pace ever recorded by the Houston Association of Realtors. The association reports Houston has a 3-months supply of homes for sale, a tight market that favors sellers, although there has been some easing as more houses have come on the market over the summer. http://houston.culturemap.com/news/real-estate/08-13-14-best-month-ever-for-houston-home-sales-how-long-can-housing-boom-last/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I sold my condo last November to the first person that looked at it the day it was listed - cash deal.....I was amazed - never sold any of my other properties that fast over the last 15 years that I have lived here... When I bought my house, it was based on the realtor/builder's drawings of the new development they were building - nothing to look at other than floor plans and elevation drawings (I have built a few homes previously so I don't mind going off floor plans)...there were 4 other offers on the particular unit I bought the day after I wrote my contract - it's crazy out there!!
