2013年5月1日-奥斯汀

今天是德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人^® released the 2013-Q1 edition of the 德克萨斯州季度住房报告, showing surging demand for Texas homes at the start of the year as well as rising prices and shrinking inventory. Fueled by Texas’s population and job growth, the report bodes well for the summer selling season.

鲱鱼 Bogany他是德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人协会的主席^®, commented: “2012 was a strong year for Texas real estate and, 基于第一季度的业绩, 2013年看起来更加强劲. We’ve heard a lot about the growth of Texas and now we’re starting to really see the impact on our real estate market.”

如报告所述, 53,937 single-family homes were sold in Texas in the first quarter of 2013, 也就是17.53% more than the same quarter of the prior year. Of the 48 markets included in the report, 40 markets featured increases in sales, indicating the surge is broad-based throughout the state.

的 median price for Texas homes in 2013-Q1 was $158,000, which is 7.04% more than the first quarter of 2012. In the same timeframe, the average price was $204,718 – that’s 6.比2012年第一季度增长87%. 的 median price for Texas homes has steadily increased, exceeding or matching the price of the prior year every quarter since the 德克萨斯州季度住房报告 began in 2009.

“历史上, the median price for Texas homes has increased about four percent each year and we usually see the biggest jump in price between the first and second quarters,吉姆·盖恩斯说, Ph.D., economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&米大学. “So, with price increases already in the range of seven percent in the first quarter, we could see Texas homes increase in value significantly this year.”

然而, 盖恩斯也提出了强烈的警告, “We’ll only realize our potential for increased sales volume if more sellers enter the market and start listing their properties, increasing the inventory of homes for sale.”

In first quarter 2013, the market featured 4.2个月的库存，也就是1.比上一年少7个月. 这明显小于6.5 months of inventory cited by the Real Estate Center as a market in which the supply of homes is balanced with demand.

盖恩斯解释, “的re is clearly demand for Texas homes and rising prices are encouraging more homeowners to consider listing their properties. 然而, 如果房主想搬上去, they must be able to find a property to move to, so more supply is needed to capture the growth potential in the market.”

盖恩斯继续, “在接下来的几个月里, I expect we’ll start to hear national news reports about increasing sales in other markets, 可能会超过德克萨斯州. That’s because other markets boomed in the 2000年代中期 在晚些时候被捕 2000s, meaning they need dramatic increases in sales volume and price to recover. I call that an ‘echo boom’ and it’s more indicative of market fluctuations than fundamentals. 这在德州从未发生过, so the increases you’re seeing in our state are indicative of true increases in demand, 受人口增长驱动. Assuming we continue to add jobs as we have recently, that will make our increases more sustainable.”

德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人^® has been working to help the state absorb that growth, advocating for homeowners at the Texas Capitol during the current legislative session. 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人^® have advanced ideas on improving infrastructure for transportation and water in the state as well as consumer-protection provisions in the property-tax loan industry, 抵押贷款, 以及财产评估过程. 的 83rd Texas Legislature regular session ends May 27.

主席 Bogany 得出的结论, “的 word is out that Texas is a great place to live and these results are further evidence of that. 现在，德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人^® are on a mission to ensure that remains the case and help our state provide for the needs of its homeowners today and far into the future.”
