New Home Sales Still Riding Wave Of Lower Interest Rates

The Census Bureau reported new home sales for September at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 701,000 in September. This was in line with expectations, although the August figure was revised down slightly. The September print for new home sales translates into a 15.5 percent increase from the same time last year. As a reminder, mortgage interest rates were over 100 basis points higher last year. This helped to drive new home contract activity in September. This made for a really easy year-over-year comparison. Another thing that contributed to September sales of new construction [...]

NAR: Existing Home Sales Up 3.9% In September

The National Association of Realtors reported a 3.9% increase in existing home sales for the month of September. Home sales in the South region were reportedly up 6 percent according to NAR, and this is reflective of what we saw in the North Texas housing market last month. The big year-over-drop in rates pushed both home sales and prices higher last month. According to NAR the median price of an existing U.S. home increased 5.9% in September. The average price of a U.S. home at $308,500 was higher by 4.2%. Months of supply stood at [...]

Low Rates Keep North Texas Home Sales Alive In September

North Texas home sales improved by roughly 7 percent in September, boosted by an extremely favorable year-over-year mortgage rate comparison which kept affordability levels manageable for area home shoppers. Denton County saw a 7 percent improvement in September home closings, while the City of Denton saw home sales fall slightly compared to the same month in 2018. Pending home sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth area improved by 9 percent in September, but not by the magical 12 percent as reported in the area's largest paper. Pending sales activity in Denton County was up double digits, [...]

New Home Sales Soar In August, DFW Included

The Census Bureau reported new home sales for August at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 713,000 for August, This was above expectations and sales for July were revised upward as well. The median price of a new home contracted in August was $328,400, while the average price of a new home shot up to $404,200. Lower rates obviously spurred more borrowers to open up their checkbooks in August. Months of supply for new homes stood at 5.5 in August, down almost 13 percent from the 6.3 months of supply seen last year. As [...]

A&M RECenter Phoning It In On Denton County Home Sales Estimates

The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M is apparently still phoning it in when it comes to DFW area home sales estimates. I was hoping the A&M RECenter had fixed their algorithm for late closings to produce better monthly sales estimates for the local real estate boards. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Dallas' largest paper reported a rise of 5 percent for single-family home sales in August. Updated NTREIS data show the actual sales increase was about 1 percent. The Pending sales increase also looks to be about 1 percent [...]

Village Builders Waterbrook Opening Late Fall In Argyle TX

Village Builders has pushed back their opening for the Argyle community of Waterbook to late Fall 2019 according to a company representative I spoke with earlier today. One of model homes is currently under construction, but it will apparently be a couple of months before the community is ready to entertain contracts for new home construction. Waterbook won't see its first permanent residents until 2020. Parent company Lennar Homes has experienced some delays getting things off the ground after acquiring the community in the CalAtlantic acquisition. Prices in Waterbrook are still slated to range from [...]

That's 2.5 percent better than last month according to NAR's revised figures, and up 0.6 percent from July of last year.
