Let’s look at the last six months of statistics. Below, see pricing. While, it does not show a truly positive change, it is moving upward from its recent low. Today, the average price is approximately $122,000.

Another dominant factor is days on the market, see below. How long does it take a home to sell? What is the average? As plotted below, the average days on the market in 77449 is 155. This is a decline from July’s high of 160. Some of these quicker sales represent foreclosures and short sales that do not remain on the market for long but conventional sales are doing better, too.

What’s the current status of inventory? Increasing or decreasing? Decreasing is far better for sellers. Guess what! The number of houses on the market in 77449 is going down. For a more detailed explanation of how inventory affects the market, read my earlier article on absorption rates. See the details of the inventory decline below.
