DFW housing continues despite oil & gas concerns

by Christie Cannon

Corporate growth & an influx of out of state buyers continue to sustain North Dallas' housing market growth.  Steve Brown of the Dallas Morning News wrote an excellent article expressing the positives of North Texas' continued growth, as well a continued concern of both buyers and builders with regards to the climbing prices.  With the full impact of corporate relocations (Toyota, State Farm, Charles Schwab, JPMorgan Chase, etc) not yet fully realized, the housing market is not likely letting up for the foresee able future.

Continued Drop in Distressed Home Sale Prices

by Christie Cannon

In the latest Existing Home Sale Report from the NAR (National Association of REALTORs), the NAR is reporting that less than 6% of the national market represents distressed sales.  This is a sharp decrease from 2014 reporting at 9%. At their most recent peak, distressed property sales represented a full 35% of all national real estate sales.  6% represents the lowest figure since 2008, when the NAR began tracking this metric. 

Existing Home Sales continue steady, with year-over-year sales up 3.9%.  Likewise, inventory remains low at approximately 4.8-months supply, versus a balanced market at 6-months.  The national median home price has seen an increase of 5.9% to $219,000.  It is important to consider, that the sharp increase in median price, at least for many markets, represents a regaining of previously lost sale prices.

Why Correct Pricing is Key

by Christie Cannon

How many times have you as a buyer, seller, home owner, or real estate pro witnessed a house that seemed to linger a little longer than the neighbors, then undergo a modest price drop and -boom- full price offer, or better yet (at least for the seller) multiple offers?  There is no better anecdote for the power of proper pricing than this classic scenario.

Proper pricing placement is critical to positioning a home in the market. Even a home slightly overpriced will often go "unnoticed" by buyers in the market, despite a seller's likely willingness to negotiate a less than full list-price contract. According to the National Association of REALTORs, pricing a home 10% over market value eliminates up to 70% of the "buyer pool" willing to look at the home.  As such, proper pricing or a well timed price reduction, can assist in positioning a home where the market is most likely to react.
