I got an interesting e-mail from the Williamson County Assocation of Realtors (WCAOR) a few days ago and wanted to pass along a few stats:
Number of Homes Sold (wk of 5/25): 172 (we are still waiting for the final count - this number might rise)
Number of Homes Sold (wk of 4/47): 226
Does that look like a housing slump to you? Things are selling in Williamson County!! That is the number of homes sold for that week - not the entire month!
The number of new home listings for the week of June 1st was 289, and that is with in 15 (or so) homes of the listing numbers for the 1st week of May and April.
The number of listings continues to rise - but fairly proportionate to the number of homes selling each week. We do have a great selection of homes and properties on the market - are you ready to take that next step and start looking?
Despite what we hear in the national news (and I emphisize national), the market in our area is still a strong market for Real Estate. There are new lender options coming about almost daily - they are loosening up again, and lenders are ready to work with buyers again. Now is also a great time to purchase an investment property - there are some wonderful options on the market!
