There are many reasons people consider selling a home. Whether you are thinking of upgrading, downsizing, or simply making a change, you may be wondering if the timing is right. Here are several reasons why this may be a good time to put your house on the market.
Housing prices in Katy have been steadily rising at a moderate pace for many years, even while other communities have experienced price fluctuations. Chances are that your home is worth more than even a few years ago.
Record-low interest rates motivate buyers to act on their desire to purchase a home and give them more purchasing power.
Unlike several other states that experienced wild price fluctuations and skyrocketing foreclosure rates, Katy does not have a glut of unsold homes. This is even more pronounced in Katy than some other Texas locations. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M, the statewide supply of homes is at a level that leads to a balanced market.
Individuals and businesses continue to move to Houston at an unprecedented rate. This ongoing population feeds a strong demand for housing.
As a Texas Realtor, specializing in West Houston and Katy, I can show you how our current housing-market conditions factor in to your goal of selling your home. You can count on me to put your interests first while I assist you during this exciting process. I have sold real estate for over 23 years.

The Houston housing market held to positive territory as 2012 began, with January marking the eighth consecutive month of increased home sales. The year also opened with a continued decline in active property listings and growth in pending sales—a combination that signals a healthy market with a balanced supply of housing inventory, and that puts Houston on enviable footing compared to many other markets around the U.S. that are slowly recovering from the housing downturn.
January sales of single-family homes climbed 9.2 percent versus one year earlier, according to the latest monthly data prepared by the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR). All segments of the housing market grew except the luxury segment—those homes priced from $500,000 and above—whose decline flattened the overall average price.
“The January report shows continued strength in the Houston housing market that we began seeing in the latter part of 2011, and it gives us cause for optimism as we look ahead to the typically active spring and summer buying months,” said Wayne A. Stroman, HAR chairman and CEO of Stroman Realty. “We have also seen more jobs being filled locally and you generally don’t experience a strong real estate market Read the rest of this entry »
Today, August 24, the National Association of Realtors issued the following statement, “Existing home sales drop 27% in July; effects of expired homebuyer tax credit add turbulence to the market.”
Following the national trend, an anticipated property sales slowdown set into the Houston/Katy real estate market in July following the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit. The credit had propelled local home sales for four straight months beginning in March, however home sales suffered a double-digit decline in July. Despite the drop, the average price of a single-family home still managed to climb to a two-year high.
The southside of I-10 had a 26% drop in sales for July compared to 2009 levels. The northside of I-10 experienced a 42% drop in July closings. As many first time homebuyers purchased on the northside, this is reflected in the slowing sales. Despite the downturn, average prices rose slightly on both sides of I-10.
According to the latest monthly data compiled by the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR), July sales of single-family homes throughout the Houston market fell 25.1 percent compared to July 2009. Sales volume faltered in all single-family home pricing segments Read the rest of this entry »
