March Housing Report
March Results for Zip Code 77441
The number of Available homes in March did not decline, as it had been trending in preceding months. A bit of good news for Buyers. However, prices are still increasing, homes are selling just as fast with multiple Offers and interest rates are increasing. So, being a Buyer remains a challenge. Here is an interesting fact. Prices were not only up for just the first 3-months of this year; if you also compare the last 12-months, from March 2021 to this March 2022, Sales Prices rose from $444,437 to $544,273. That’s $99,836, or 22.5%. The average Price Per Square Foot rose 30.1% from $151 to $197. Unbelievable!
