Way late to be commenting, but I read the article and I’m not as surprised as other people. Granted, I might be victim of a little tunnel vision as Austin over the past year or so has been doing ok. However, I think that we’re just a little behind everyone else in that now we’re starting to see a slow down in the market over here. Nevertheless, good for you all!

Thanks for the information. The increase in home sales is good news, while unexpected. It could be also that many are itching to get their hands on a home since property is going up.

What type of home sales? With our site, many of the sales are attributed to REO Homes or foreclosures (or perhaps short sales). Is there a break out of homes for sale by category?

Thanks for the Kudos. I get an opportunity to interact with many consumers thanks in large part to this blog. Many people out there are nervous and looking for good unbiased information and I try to be the one that provides it for my market.

I think the tax credit expiring had a huge impact on the number of sales posted in November, however, I expect that the current tax credit will have less impact than the two received in the past. In addition I don’t think that the tax credits are large enough to encourage someone who was not thinking of buying in the somewhat near future to make a purchase now. All we are doing is pulling buyers into the market early.

Those are impressive figures. In Spain we have a major real estate problem. We have seen a little improvement recently but not in line with the figures you quote. Hopefully December won’t be as bad as you think

Thank you for the good information. I like the bright news that home sales are up. It’s very encouraging. Though a friend of mine who lives in Houston (probably the only person I know in that entire city!) just moved to New Jersey for work. I often thought Houston had a dreary job market, but perhaps I was wrong.

Do you think the rise was due to the tax credit getting ready to expire? With the leveling off due to the extension announced? Sales here were down a little towards the end of the year but are picking up this month.

Great idea to devote an entire blog to local market updates. I tell my real estate coaching clients to focus their blogging efforts just like this. You’re building authority here and consumers and search engines will recognize it.
