August 2008 Houston Housing Inventory Report

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Every month so for this year, the Houston housing market had shown increases in inventory, all the while, setting records for both the median and the average home sale price. August numbers are in, and we saw a change in the trends for the Houston homes market. August is the first month so far this year to show a decrease in housing inventory. It is also the first month to show a consensus amongst price points. Three of the price ranges we have been following over the year showed drops in total inventory. We also had the average Houston homes sale price hold solid and a reduction in the number of foreclosures for all of Texas down 18% according to realtytrac.com. The only negative news for August is that we had a reduction in total Houston homes sales for the 12th month running. The Houston housing market had 5120 residential homes sold during August compared to 6998 in August of 2007.

No one in their right mind can say that the Houston Homes Market is not beginning to slow with every month so far this year having more homes come on to the market than sold over the same period. Despite this fact I was astonished to see how many sellers were not making their homes available to be shown.
I had an out of town buyer contact me and wanted to find a home this weekend in the Houston Homes Market neighborhood of Kingwood. We picked out 15 homes they liked and thought out of these they would have no problem finding the place they wanted. However, this was just not the case. Click the link above to view this entire post.
