RESIDENTIAL REVIEW

Welcome to the ERA Shields Stat Pack. The intention for providing this infor-

mation to you is to educate you on the current local real estate market so you

can better make decisions for you and your family. Real estate markets vary

from city to city as well as neighborhood to neighborhood. When the national

media reports on how the real estate market is doing, it is reporting on national

numbers and it is likely very different from how your neighborhood is perform-

your own conclusions. On the last page you will find a brief summary.

The Average Sales Price is up over 11% while Median Sales Price jumped 19%

current listing inventory. Most economists consider

3-MONTHS OF DATA COMPARING DATA FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS

The Average & Median Sales Prices for the same month over the past 10 years. The “bubble” is rather noticeable in 2004-2009. 10 years of data helps you better

gauge the current health of the local real estate market.

The price range your home is within, dictates your odds of selling. Generally the lower your price, the more potential buyers.

February 2013 Summary

February was a solid month for the local housing market and continued the trend of the market strengthening. Inventory is a problem with a lack of homes on the market while buyer activity is pretty good. Foreclosures continue to trend down and fewer and fewer short sales are seen all the while hew home building starts trends up. These factors bode well for the housing market for 2013, which we expect to be good. Hard to believe we are saying mortgage rates have jumped up to 3.75% or so. The one fear we have is younger buyers may become concerned with the mortgage rates creeping up as their only comparison being the 3.5% and below of the past year. Historically, a low rate is any-thing under 6%. Hopefully buyers will realize this as rates continue to move up, although it will affect how much home they can afford.
