As expected from the Houston housing market inventory report, the median and average home sale price fell once again, and total home sales decreased compared to January of last year. Total home sales being off should not be a surprise to anyone as many potential home buyers are a bit nervous right now about making [...]
Inventory for the Houston housing market held steady in the first month of 2009. As at the end of January the market wide inventory for Houston sat at 5.8 months. Leaving the Houston market in a neutral state despite the national economic turmoil, this being the case it is hard not to wonder how super [...]
Many times I have said that using the median or average home sale price to determine appreciation rates can be misleading at times depending on changes in consumer buying habits. Dr. Mark Dotzour who is the chief economist at the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M has recently shown that he is in agreement. Below [...]
The Houston housing market in December and November gave back much of the gains that had been seen over 2008, in property appreciation. But, still managed to post a positive number for appreciation of the average home sale price and did not see a decline in the median home sale price. Inventory at the end [...]

Thanks in large part to seller’s frustrations leading them to removing their properties from the housing market, the home inventory is down significantly in all price range categories. In addition to the large drop in total Houston homes inventory, it is noteworthy that the $80,000 and below price range saw an increase in total homes sales from last month, moving that price category further into the realm of a seller’s market.
