Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - June 2013

Thursday, June 20, 2013
by The Hat Team

The housing market outlook continues to be optimistic. Research by the National Association of Realtors® reveals that steady job creation and household formation have been helping release pent-up demand. Home prices are primed to rise in 2013 and 2014 due to lagging housing starts and an ongoing inventory shortage. Americans are also feeling confident in the housing recovery. According to a HouseLogic.com article, More than Half of Americans Think Home Prices Will Rise in Year Ahead, Fannie Mae’s April 2013 National Housing Survey revealed 51 percent of Americans now expect home prices to climb within the next year; up from 32 percent at the same time last year.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for May 2013.

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - May 2013

Thursday, May 23, 2013
by The Hat Team

We've heard much about investors playing a role in the housing recovery, but they aren't the only major players. According to results from the Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance HousingPulse Tracking Survey for March, first-time homebuyers and current homeowners are also building a strong presence as they dominate the non-distressed market. Investors accounted for 13.3 percent of the market share for non-distressed properties, while current homeowners represented 50 percent of the market. First-time homebuyers also made up a significant portion at 36.8 percent. Read the entire article here.

Increased home sales result in higher prices. Are you an investor or a current home owner thinking about buying this spring? Now couldn't be a better time to buy...before prices increase and interest rates remain low. Contact me and together we can get the ball rolling.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for April 2013.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for April 2013 show the number of homes sold increased by 3% when compared to April 2012. The average sales price decreased by 31% to $101,239 for the month. The median sales prices decreased by 11%, and market times increased by 15 days.  The highest selling home price decreased by 63%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 37% from April 2012.

As is often the case in an area like Midtown where prices vary widely, a single $600,000 sale skewed the April 2012 average selling price to an unrealistic high.  Last month's average is far more representative of reality.

Midtown Montgomery April  2013 April 2012
Homes Sold 32 31
Average Selling Price $ 101,239 $ 147,652
Median Selling Price $ 89,000 $ 100,000
Days On The Market 145 130
Highest Selling Price $ 222,000 $ 600,000
Lowest Selling Price $9,500 $6,000

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - March 2013

Friday, March 22, 2013
by The Hat Team

Let’s face it, all the information in the world about how to buy and sell a house is at your finger tips. So why hire a real estate professional to represent you in the purchase or sale of your home, when you can save the big fat commission they charge and do it yourself. If you have asked yourself this question, you are not alone. Here are the top 5 reasons to hire a real estate professional:

1. Education & Experience

Most people buy or sell homes 2-3 times in their lives. Many real estate professionals are involved in buying and selling real estate 2-3 times a month. Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are. You don’t need to know all there is to know about buying or selling real estate, you just need to hire the people that do. Hire someone with more experience and education than you that can help you get the best possible deal and save you precious time and money.

2. Agents are Buffers

If you are a buyer, agents will insulate you from builder representatives and listing agents, who can be piranhas when going after a sale. And if you are a seller, your agent will weed through the ‘lookie loos’ and bring you only well-qualified buyers. Real estate professionals save you time…and as they say, ‘time is money.’

3. Neighborhood Knowledge

Your neighbor may know that the people who sold the house down the street were asking $350,000, but your real estate agent will know that the house actually sold for $295,000 and paid $5,000 of the buyer’s closing costs after being on the market 45 days.

4. Price Guidance

Your real estate agent is able to guide you through the decision making process to help you make the right choice for yourself and your family. Whether a buyer or seller, agents are able to provide you with the data you need to choose a correct price and then put together a negotiating strategy based on market supply, demand and conditions.

5. Market Conditions Information

Real estate professionals can also provide you with market data such as price per square foot, median and average sales prices, days on market and list/sell ratios that will have a bearing on your buying and selling decisions.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for February 2013.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for February 2013 show the number of homes sold increased by 25% when compared to February 2012. The average sales price increased by 21% to $120,403 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 30%, and market times increased by 16 day. The highest selling home price increased by 59%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 20% from February 2012.

Midtown Montgomery February 2013 February 2012
Homes Sold 24 18
Average Selling Price $ 120,403 $ 95,287
Median Selling Price $ 82,656 $ 58,000
Days On The Market 133 117
Highest Selling Price $ 695,000 $ 286,000
Lowest Selling Price $5,000 $4,000
