MetroTex Association of REALTORS releases real estate statistics for July 2016
The volume of homes sales in Southlake declined in year-over-year comparisons, according to the July 2016 North Texas housing market report released today by the MetroTex Association of REALTORS.
“The demand for housing is undoubtedly strong,” said Russell Berry, president of MetroTex. “While we didn’t sell as many houses this July than we did last year, we’re still seeing strong demand in the busy summer. Southlake differs from most of the rest of the Metroplex in that inventory levels are approaching a balance between the number of available houses and buyers. Much of that is likely due to the median price point being quite a bit higher than average for the Dallas-Ft Worth area.”
According to the report, 60 homes were sold in Southlake in July 2016, a decrease of 24.1 percent. The median price for Southlake homes increased 5.1 percent year-over-year to $667,500 during the same time frame.
Southlake’s monthly housing inventory is estimated to be 5.6 months in July 2016, indicating a continued trend toward a balanced market. The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University cites that 6.5 months of inventory represents a market in which supply and demand for homes is balanced.
Homes spent an average of 62 days on the market in July 2016. There were 255 active listings for the Southlake housing market during the same time frame.
