It seems like time is flying here in Houston, and the market is heating up accordingly. Here's the latest on our market.

Time is flying—I can't believe it's already May, and my older son is heading to middle school. Both the weather and the housing market are heating up. Total property sales in Houston are up 4.2% over last April and dollar volume is up by about 8.1%. Here in Houston, the biggest gains are coming in the luxury market, or homes priced more than $750,000. That market segment took the largest hit during the energy slump, but now it's up 15.8% this year compared to last year. It's a small sliver of the total home sales, though. We see that the next biggest market was for homes priced between $250,000 and $500,000, which rose more than 11% on a year over year basis.
All in all, we see a lot of very positive and strong movement.
The average number of days it takes to sell a home stayed about the same, but the average home price continues to rise up to nearly $300,000. This makes affordability difficult for many buyers in Houston. Conversely, the market for homes under $100,000 fell 35%, but it's almost a non-existent market now. For new construction homes, costs for labor and material continue to rise, so we expect the price for new builds to rise. On the leasing side of things, we know that leases jumped by 15%, but on the flipside, average prices came down by about 5%. Many really nice, class-A apartments are still offering free rent and low moving costs, which has caused a lot of competition for homes, especially in the inner-loop area.
All in all, we see a lot of very positive and strong movement. It all comes down to what the inventory levels are in your area. If you have any questions about buying or selling a house or about the market in your specific area, don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I'd be happy to help you out!
