Local Home Sales Show Positive Signs in Recent Months

For a long time, many neighborhoods saw a drop in home sales each month compared to the previous year. However, things started to look up in July, and this positive change continued into August. The latest report from the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) confirms this.

In the six areas, four saw an increase in home sales in August compared to last year. These increases ranged from 25% to an impressive 55%. But two areas (77007, 77008) still had fewer sales.

When it comes to home prices in August, it was a mix. Most areas saw average prices go up, but some places had median prices that didn't change much, based on HAR's data. Overall, people are spending more on homes this year than they did at the same time in 2022.

77018 Area Details: This area, which includes places like Garden Oaks and Oak Forest, saw 70 homes sold last month. That's a 32.1% increase from the 53 homes sold in August last year. But if we look at the whole year, this area is still behind its 2022 sales numbers. The average price of a home sold in August was $650,018, a 10.9% increase. The median price was almost the same as last year.

77092 Area Details: This area to the west had 33 homes sold in August, a 37.5% increase from last year. But the total sales for the year are still lower than 2022. The average home price in August was $377,502, which is 11.8% higher than last year. The median price also went up to $357,000.

77091 Area Details: This area, at the northern edge, had the biggest increase in August sales among the local areas. There were 34 homes sold, a 54.5% jump from the 22 sold in August 2022. This area is also the only one that has sold more homes this year than at the same time in 2022.

Houston's House Prices Soar, Making Top 20 in the U.S.

Houston's house prices went up last year. Now, it's one of the top 20 places in the U.S. with the most expensive houses, says a report from Zillow.

The total worth of all U.S. houses is now $52 trillion. That's a lot more than last year. One reason is that the average house price went up a little bit.

But the main reason is that more new houses were built.

Zillow's expert, Orphe Divounguy, said that even though some people didn't want to buy houses because of high loan rates, there were still many who did. Builders saw this and built more houses. So, there were more new houses sold this year.

Houston's houses were worth over $763 billion in June. That's 3.5% more than last year, which is about $26 billion more. Texas is the fourth state with the most expensive houses. Its total house worth went up to $3.4 trillion.

New York City has the most expensive houses in the U.S. They are worth over $4.2 trillion. That's 4.2% more than last year. After New York, the next cities with expensive houses are Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston.

Don't Expect A Tidlewave Of Foreclosures

The cost of things like food and gas is going up, and some people are worried that they won't be able to afford their mortgage payments. This could lead to a lot of foreclosures, which is when the bank takes a house away from the homeowner.

However, experts say that a flood of foreclosures is unlikely. One reason is that lending standards have tightened, so people who are buying homes are more likely to be able to afford them.

Another reason is that the number of homeowners who are seriously behind on their mortgage payments is declining. This means that most people are making their mortgage payments on time, so there is not a large number of people who are at risk of foreclosure.

So, if you're worried about a potential flood of foreclosures, there's no need to be. The data shows that this is unlikely to happen.

Many Californians Are choosing To Move To Houston To Save Money

A study from StorageCafe showed that Californians can save up to $646,000 when they buy a house in Houston instead of in California. The reason for this big move? Houston is cheaper, doesn’t have income tax, and many people can now work from home. In 2021, a big number, about 111,000 people, moved from California to Texas. If you compare the prices, a house in Houston costs around $403,490 on average. But in places like San Diego, California, a house can be close to $870,000. Renting is also cheaper in Houston. In big California cities, monthly rent can be over $2,600. But in Houston, it's just about $1,336. Because of these reasons, the study believes that many more people will keep moving from California to Texas in the coming years.
