If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in Southeast Texas you will want to know what's going on the in market.  Take a look. 

The highest median home price award goes to Hardin County thanks in large part to the new construction going on in Lumberton.  Orange, Beaumont and Jefferson Counties median prices are within $5,000 of each other.  

Orange County has the highest average number of days on the market at 112.  It's taking about a month longer to sell a home in Orange vs Jefferson and Hardin.

For the month of April it took an average of 94 days to sell a home in Beaumont, Texas.  

That is about typical for the last few months in the median price ranges.  In Beaumont, the median price of a home that sold in April was $139,900.  Home sales under $200,000 accounted for close to half of all sales.  Just 5.8% of the homes that sold in April closed for over $300,000.  

What you should know-

As a seller if you have a home under $200,000 it is a sellers market.  Just plan to list your home approximately 90 days before you want to move.  

As a buyer it is still a sellers market with low levels of inventory (not many homes on the market) in all but the upper price ranges.  You will need to act fast to have a chance to get the best of homes.  Many of the move in ready homes are still going under contract in the first two weeks they are listed.  

If you are looking for more information about a certain neighborhood contact me.  I'll be glad to help.

One of the most popular communities in Southeast Texas continues to be Lumberton, Texas.  Residential home sales in Lumberton continue to have high demand from buyers.  The builders are taking note of the high demand with new residential construction in River Birch, Woosley Palms, Copper Point, and Westwood Heights.  

What will you pay to buy a newly built home in one of these popular Lumberton neighborhoods?  Take a look.

Home builders in the desirable Lumberton neighborhoods of Copper Point, River Birch, and Westwood Heights have such high demand for these newly built homes that prices are rarely negotiated.  

The overall asking price to sales price ratio for homes in Lumberton is approximately 97%.  Sellers usually only have to negotiate about 3% off their asking price when the home is priced competitively.

In a competitive residential home sales market it is important to have the right market information and to be able to act fast.  For instance, a home in Boykin was recently listed.  It had approximately 16 showings in the first week it was on the market and multiple offers for the seller to choose from.  This is where an experienced Realtor can be invaluable.  

If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Gracelake, Stonegate, Boykin, Copper Point, or Woosley Palms, or any other neighborhood is Southeast Texas let me show all the tools I have to help you.  Make a good decision and put the power of Coldwell Banker Southern Homes to work for you.

What is the best month to buy a home in Southeast Texas?  Apparently not January.  The fewest home closings of 2018 occurred in February.  Which means there were fewer homes that went pending, under contract in January.  But does that mean January and February are bad months to buy a home?  Not at all.  You have less buyer competition in January and February.  Once the spring home selling season gears up then you are competing with a lot more buyers.  If you are thinking of buying a home this spring you might want to change your plans and start looking now.  

Happy Valentines Day.

Diane
