Ahead of the Spring Home Market

Mark Madria • February 13, 2017

Mary Frances is the CEO of Ebby Halliday.

What was once considered real estate wisdom - the ideal time to list your home for sale is the traditional spring selling season - may no longer be true for North Texas homeowners.

Year-over-year home sales for December and the current very low inventory of homes available to purchase indicate there is no reason to wait until spring to list a home for sale.

The latest numbers from North Texas Real Estate Information Systems offer a compelling case for sellers who would like to get a head start on their potential competition.

A few of the highlights from the NTREIS numbers for December 2016 versus December 2015 include:

The average sales price rose 7.4% to $281,596

The number of homes for sale declined 10.5%

The average time a home was on the market fell 4.1% to 47 days

These numbers make it clear that the winter of 2017 offers the ideal climate in which to list a North Texas property for sale. Potential sellers should act now to get ahead of the traditional spring market.
