Katy Home Sales Post a Healthy December

Regardless of what the media reports, especially the national media, not all areas of the country are suffering a real estate free fall. Katy home sales, particularly those south of I-10, are occurring at a healthy economic rate. Let's look at the facts and figures by comparing December 2007 sales to December 2008. As you will see there is a negligible difference in the numbers.

• In December 2007, there were 133 pending sales; this is the exact same number as in December 2008.
• There were 212 actual sales in the month of December 2007 and 199 in December 2008.
• In December 2007, there were 810 houses on the market. Last month, there were 891 houses for sale.
• Monthly inventory describes how long it would take to sell the current inventory if not another house was put on the market. In December 2007 there was a 3.3 month inventory. The most current figures are 3.9 months to sell all the existing inventory.
