Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - May 2015

Friday, June 19, 2015
by The Hat Team

When people dream of vacation homes, oftentimes they cut themselves off quickly, thinking they would never be able to afford one. However, new research by the National Association of REALTORS® shows that is probably not the case. While vacation homes are obviously a big investment, they aren’t out of reach for those under the six-figure salary mark. According to NAR’s 2015 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, the median household income for those who own a vacation property is $94,380, only about $15,000 more than the median income for those who own their primary residence ($79,650). And if you thought buyers needed cash to buy it, think again—70 percent of vacation homes purchased last year were financed with a mortgage. Considering buying a vacation home? Start your search here!

Take a look at May 2015's real estate sales statistics.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for May 2015, show the number of homes decreased 10%. The average sales price decreased by 15.71% to $118,566 for the month. The median sales price decreased by 21.59% to $96,250, and market times increased by 15 days.  The highest selling price decreased by 48.03% from May 2014.

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Report for August 2014

Friday, September 19, 2014
by The Hat Team

While the number of for sale by owner transactions is on the decline, approximately 9 percent of sellers decide to go it alone and forego outside help from a Realtor®. Typically those that go this route have extenuating circumstances, such as already having a relationship with the buyer (which happened in 40 percent of recent FSBO sales, according to National Association of Realtors® data). However, NAR’s 2013 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers shows that most sellers benefit from the outside help of a knowledgeable advocate when selling their home. Aside from being experts in the field, Realtors® have the time, know the market and needs of the potential buyers, bring an objective and fresh perspective to the seller, understand the complexity of all of the processes involved, and have the ability to attract qualified buyers.  It’s because of these reasons that sellers using a Realtor® tend to get more for their homes, according to NAR’s report.

Let’s look at how many sellers sold their homes with a Realtor in August.

August 2014 Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Update

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for August 2014, show the number of homes sold decreased by 9% when compared to August 2013. The average sales price increased by 3% to $140,940 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 16% to $107,500, and market times increased by 27 days.  The highest selling price increased by 40%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 14% compared to August 2013.

Midtown Montgomery  August 2014 August 2013
Homes Sold 29 32
Average Selling Price $140,940 $136,497
Median Selling Price $107,500 $92,000

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Report for May 2014

Thursday, June 26, 2014
by The Hat Team

All-cash offers are an unusual real estate tactic, but often times are a winning strategy at the negotiating table, and are presently on the rise. The National Association of Realtors® reports market share of all-cash purchases has risen and currently makes up 33 percent of the market. This is a unique trend, especially since the market has experienced a decrease in distressed homes and investor activity.

Economists point out many reasons for this popular trend. One is restrictive lending standards have caused many buyers, especially wealthy ones, to forgo a loan. Another is the aging baby boom generation, many of whom are trading down and paying for their purchase with cash accumulated from decades of equity. Some also point to foreign buyers; home purchases by foreign buyers in the U.S. are increasing and those buyers don’t have the credit history in the U.S. to qualify for a loan.

None of those situations have significantly impacted the Montgomery market.  For May, 24% of the sales were all-cash and averaged just $42,500.  This indicates they were predominantly investor sales of distressed properties.  Now let's look at the other May statistics for Midtown Montgomery.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for May 2014, show the number of homes sold increased by 5.7% when compared to May 2013. The average sales price increased by less than 1% to $144,882 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 17%, and market times decreased by 4 days from May 2013.  The highest selling price decreased by 5%, and the lowest selling home price decreased by 45% compared to May 2013.

Midtown Montgomery  May 2014 May 2013
Homes Sold 33 35
Average Selling Price $144,882 $144,725
Median Selling Price $123,000 $105,000
Days On The Market 126 140
Highest Selling Price $635,000 $665,000
Lowest Selling Price $9,250 $17,000

Investing In Real Estate With Your IRA

Friday, February 14, 2014
by The Hat Team

You probably already know that you can invest your IRA money in stocks and bonds and even in mutual funds if you so desire, but did you know that you can also invest those IRA funds in Montgomery real estate?  Doing so, however, is a bit complicated, and IRS rules concerning such purchases must be followed to the letter. 

real estate investingUsually, when you take money out of an individual retirement account before you reach age 59 1/2, the IRS considers these premature distributions. In addition to owing any tax that might be due on the money, you'll face a 10 percent penalty charge on the amount.  This is not the case, however, when you use the money to buy your first investment property.  (Note: Technically, you don't have to be purchasing your very first home or building. You qualify under the tax rules as long as you, or your spouse, didn't own a principal residence at any time during the previous two years.)  You can use up to $10,000 in IRA funds toward this purchase. If you're married, and you and your spouse are both first-time buyers, you can each pull from retirement accounts, giving you $20,000 to use.

The restrictions are many (and perhaps time-consuming) and include the following:

  • You will need to find an IRS custodian who handles these investments (and the options are currently limited).  Generally banks and brokerage firms do not handle IRA distributions for real estate transactions.
  • Only the custodian may handle your IRS funds.
  • The type of property you buy must be for investment only and may not be used by you or by relatives. 
  • All proceeds from the investment will go back into your IRA fund.  Likewise, however, all expenses must be paid from that fund, so you must have enough liquidity in your IRA to cover such costs.
  • You must let the IRS know that you used the retirement money early for a tax-acceptable purpose by filing Form 5329.
  • You must use the IRA funds within 120 days of withdrawal to pay qualified acquisition costs. This includes the costs of buying, building or rebuilding a home, along with any usual settlement, financing or closing costs.

The above information applies only to traditional IRSs.  To learn about the procedure for an Roth IRA, click here.
