Montgomery AL Real Estate Sales Statistics - May 2010

Thursday, June 17, 2010
by The Hat Team

Pending home sales have risen for three consecutive months, reflecting the broad impact of the home buyer tax credit and favorable housing affordability conditions, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

The Pending Home Sales Index rose 6.0 percent to 110.9 based on sales contracts signed in April. This figure is up from 104.6 in March, and is 22.4 percent higher than April 2009 when it was 90.6 and reflects increases of 7.1 percent in March and 8.3 percent in February.

Pending home sales are at the highest level since last October when the index reached 112.4 and first-time buyers were rushing to beat the initial deadline for the tax credit. The data reflects sales contracts and not closings, which usually occur with a lag time of one or two months.

Let's look at May real estate sales to see how the Montgomery AL real estate market is faring.

Montgomery Homes For Sale:

1754 Wentworth Drive, Montgomery AL 36106
MLS# 264754 

If you'd rather take a beating than have to move often, you'll love the flexible floorplan of this custom-built home. Two extra bedrooms downstairs allow you to have your children on the first floor with you while they're little. And when they're older, give them the upstairs with its two additional bedrooms plus a computer area. An inground pool with diving board and slide provides a focal point for family fun and the surrounding decorative iron fence provides peace of mind. You can see from the street that this is a lovely, traditional Southern home. And the interior won't disappoint because it offers you a big family room plus a living room that will stay extra-nice for special occasions. What's more, you'll never run out of storage here. Everywhere you turn there's a closet, and a bevy of real wood cabinets fill both the spacious kitchen and the laundry room. And perhaps best of all, moving in will be easy as pie because of all the brand-new upgrades including all new paint, carpet, vinyl and pool liner. And the seller has already done most repairs indicated on the home inspection you may review by clicking on the photo. So check it out and then make it your own!

Montgomery AL Real Estate Market Trends

Friday, April 18, 2008
by The Hat Team

Little change is expected in Montgomery AL real estate sales of existing homes over the next few months, before notably improving during the second half of the year, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors.

 

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, said the market will come into clearer focus this summer.  “Existing home sales could start to show a sustained increase within a few months, unless there are some additional economic problems or excessive inflationary pressure,” he said.  “The wider access to affordable credit should increase sales activity notably this summer as pent-up demand begins to be met.”

 

Let’s take a look at the midtown Montgomery AL real estate market activity for this March to see how the spring is looking so far: 

  

The Midtown Montgomery market experienced a slowdown in activity this March, when compared with March 2007.  Pending sales were down by 43%, while sold listings decreased 15%.  Average market times decreased by 5 days and the average sales price decreased by 10% to $129,629

A decline both in the number of homes for sale and the length of time it's taking to sell them should indicate that we are at or near the bottom of our "small dip" in activity.
