Low Inventory Continues to Drive Real Estate Prices

Tuesday, January 3, 2017
by Christie Cannon

Inadequate Inventory Driving Prices Up


The latest Existing Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed a direct correlation between a lack of inventory and rising prices. We are all familiar with the concept of supply and demand. As the demand for an item increases the supply of that same item goes down, driving prices up. Year-over-year inventory levels have dropped each of the last 18 months, as inventory now stands at a 4.0-month supply, well below the 6.0-month supply needed for a ‘normal’ market. The median price of homes sold in November (the latest data available) was $234,900, up 6.8% from last year and marking the 57 consecutive month with year-over-year gains.


NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun had this to say:


"Existing housing supply at the beginning of the year was inadequate and is now even worse heading into 2017. Rental units are also seeing this shortage. As a result, both home prices and rents continue to far outstrip incomes in much of the country."


But there is good news about rising prices. More and more homeowners are recovering from a negative equity situation and learning that they are able to sell their homes and either move up to their dream home or downsize to a property that will better suit their needs. Look for these homes to come to market soon.


Buyer demand continues to outpace the supply of homes for sale. Listing your home in the winter attracts serious buyers who are looking to close the transaction quickly.

by Christie Cannon

Tis the season for Chistmas lights & busted pipes!

While we may not experience the long cold winters of some of our more northern cousins, we have experienced long enough cold snaps to freeze pipes and damage homes.

Here are some helpful tips to help you prepare a home you may be selling (or any home) for the cold.

Did a Fort Worth Home Really Sell for $1?

Monday, December 5, 2016
by Christie Cannon

Every indication is yes! 

It appears that the owner posted his willingness to sell this home on Facebook.com – however, there was a catch, you need to move it - as the dirt it sits on isn’t included.

Located in a community where real estate investment & development is booming, Mr. Barrow put the Fort Worth home up for sale with the noble goal of preserving the historic 1904 home from the fate of many other “tear down” in the area.

As long-time residents of Frisco, we have seen several historic homes be moved in order to protect them from the record growth the city has experienced.  It is truly a labor of love & dedication.

Kudos to Mr Barrow for taking such an effort to help preserve an amazing piece of history.

 

You can read more about Mr. Wade Barrow’s amazing story & the sale of this historic home here or see Mr. Barrow’s interview at WFAA.com.

Fastest Growing Cities in US - Deep in the Heart of TX

Sunday, May 22, 2016
by Christie Cannon

Texas holds 5 of the top 15 fastest growing cities (for towns with populations in excess of 50,000). 

Frisco continues to top the charts with 6.3 percent growth in 2015.  This continued growth places Frisco as the 4th fastest growing city in the US (by percent growth). Here in Texas, we find a new trend in the fastest growing cities, as we continue to see outward pressure from city centers drive suburban economic growth. Other "Burbs" to make the chart here in TX include (in order of ranking): Georgetown, New Braunfels, Pearland, & Frisco.  College Station was the only non-traditional suburb to make the list!

Be water smart as we enter the summer!

Ok, so maybe this isn't the most fun topic for the spring; especially after another season of flash flooding & huge rains, but it wasn't that long ago when our lakes & lawns were suffering under long drought.

Once again, as we prepare to enter the summer season, it is time for us to be good stewards of our resources. Fortunately, most city's are actually eager to assist home owners & tenants alike! 

From Free Check-ups to Discounted Rain Barrel Sales, Rebates, & Incentives - you may be surprised by how helpful your city really can to be!

DFW growth brought almost 80,000 to the area last year

Monday, April 18, 2016
by Christie Cannon

In one of Steve Brown's most recent articles with the Dallas Morning News, Mr Brown does an excellent job of boiling down some of last year's census numbers into easy to digest numbers.  Between mid 2014 & mid 2015, the DFW area saw in increase of approx 78,000 people to the area.  Collin, Denton, & Tarrant counties led the way with 20K, 19K, & 18K people new to the area!  This equates to approx 6,500 people per month coming in the area! 

This influx of new folks to the DFW area continues to highlight a growing struggle between rising housing costs, a lag in new construction, & low pre-owned home inventory. 

Have questions of how this & other real estate news may affect your home in the market, please feel free to give me a call!
