Real Estate Market Stats - Post #551

REAL ESTATE MARKET STATISTICS - MARKET WATCH
What happened in Wylie TX Real Estate - February 2019

It is still a Seller’s Market in Wylie Texas!   Anytime there are less than 6-months of inventory available for purchase it is considered a Seller’s Market because there are more buyers than there are homes available for sale. This means that homes are selling more quickly and usually for top dollar. Currently we have 2 months of inventory in Wylie TX.

Here’s a recap of what the real estate market in Wylie TX was doing in February 2019.

Inventory is up slightly: In February 2019 there were 238 homes available for sale.  That's up 8.2% compared to February 2018 when we had only 220 homes for sale in Wylie, Texas.

Homes are selling not selling as fast: Last year the average time to sell a home was 39 days on the market. In February 2019 the average time is 64 days on the market.

Prices are still climbing:  In February 2018 the median sales price of homes in Wylie was $290,000....but in February 2019 the median sales price was $315,000.  That's a price increase of 8.6%

Buyers are still getting loans locked with 4-5%  interest rates for 30-yr fixed rate mortgages. Home buyers in Wylie Texas are looking for a home to purchase, and when they find one that is well-maintained and priced right – they are buying them.

What I believe

WHAT I BELIEVE:

As a Broker and Realtor, I believe that consumers are best served through proper representation from a licensed professional Realtor.

For most people, buying or selling a home is an infrequent transaction with enormous financial and emotional considerations. Think about it….moving is stressful and emotional. Having a real estate professional help you with pricing, listing, selling and purchasing a home is important. Real estate is not entertainment (think HGTV) – it’s major life decisions. Having inaccurate information or bad “value estimates” on websites creates confusion about what’s really happening in a market.

I understand that serious consumers want the real facts about their real estate market.

But searching for homes and researching the market is just the beginning. Market conditions vary from city-to-city and neighborhood-to-neighborhood. So when you are ready to move forward with buying or selling a home, call the North Texas Top Team Realtors at 469-759-3899. We can take the science of real data and apply it to the art of local real estate.

For sellers, we navigate changing markets and help price your home appropriately.

For buyers, we are an advocate during contract negotiations all the way to the first day in a new home.

Ultimately, there is a lot more than a home search to consider such as: Pricing. Negotiations. Offers. Counter-Offers. Contracts. Addenda. Financing. Contingencies. Repairs. Punch Lists…. The list goes on and on and on. Navigating all of this takes skill and determination, and the Realtors at the North Texas Top Team are just the folks that can help.

After all, it’s what we do for a living, 24-7, 365.

 

I hope that you will check out our website, learn about our agents and the services we provide, and then give us a call.  I believe that our Team can help you achieve your real estate dreams.
