Report Indicates Higher Yet Healthy Central Texas Housing Inventory

April 17, 2008 - The median sales price for homes in Central Texas grew 5 percent in March, according to the latest Multiple Listing Service (MLS) report. Single-family home sales for the month were 1,832, while active listings grew to 9,638.

“The number of active listings available in Central Texas represents approximately five months of housing inventory, which economists agree is present in a healthy market,” said ABoR Chairman Socar Chatmon-Thomas. “Nationally, the number of homes in supply has remained close to 10 months.”
