Research by the National Association of Realtors® reveals that steady job creation and household formation have been helping release pent-up demand. Home prices are primed to rise in 2013 and 2014 due to lagging housing starts and an ongoing inventory shortage. Americans are also feeling confident in the housing recovery. According to a HouseLogic.com article, More than Half of Americans Think Home Prices Will Rise in Year Ahead, Fannie Mae’s April 2013 National Housing Survey revealed 51 percent of Americans now expect home prices to climb within the next year; up from 32 percent at the same time last year.

We've heard much about investors playing a role in the housing recovery, but they aren't the only major players. According to results from the Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance HousingPulse Tracking Survey for March, first-time homebuyers and current homeowners are also building a strong presence as they dominate the non-distressed market. Investors accounted for 13.3 percent of the market share for non-distressed properties, while current homeowners represented 50 percent of the market. First-time homebuyers also made up a significant portion at 36.8 percent. Read the entire article here.
Increased home sales result in higher prices. Are you an investor or a current home owner thinking about buying this spring? Now couldn't be a better time to buy...before prices increase and interest rates remain low. Contact me and together we can get the ball rolling.
Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for April 2013.
Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for April 2013 show the number of homes sold increased by 3% when compared to April 2012. The average sales price decreased by 31% to $101,239 for the month. The median sales prices decreased by 11%, and market times increased by 15 days. The highest selling home price decreased by 63%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 37% from April 2012.
As is often the case in an area like Midtown where prices vary widely, a single $600,000 sale skewed the April 2012 average selling price to an unrealistic high. Last month's average is far more representative of reality.
