August Home Sales See 10 Percent Decline
Single family home sales decreased 10 percent from one year ago to 2,501. The total dollar volume from these sales slipped four percent from August 2006 to $647,643,954. The median price for single-family homes rose six percent from one year ago to $192,200, while the average number of days a single-family home sat on the market fell three percent from August 2006 to 58 days.
Pending sales dropped to 2,196, down 24 percent from one year ago, while new listings rose 16 percent from last August to 3,806 units. The number of active listings also increased, up 21 percent from August 2006 to 9,819 units.
"As we expected, Austin home sales are experiencing a slowdown compared to the record numbers we saw in 2006," says ABoR Chairman Charles Porter. "Thanks to Austin's continuing job growth and population increases, we believe the local housing sector will remain stable."
