Waco/Texas Housing Market Reports
I’ve written about this before, but think it is worth repeating a very useful and reputable resource for finding out about Housing Market Reports in Waco and all of Texas. Not only that, there are other great pieces of Texas Real Estate related information and data given on this site.
The
Real Estate Center Website
has extensive monthly data
posted that dates back multiple years including sales numbers, median
prices
and months inventory. If you are looking to compare year to year or
just month
to month, a quick glance can give you a very powerful education as to
what is
happening in the Waco
or other Texas
markets.
Of course, these statistics are market wide and do not single out specific neighborhoods. But for a general outlook, they are valuable bits of information.
If
you need to know more about a particular neighborhood or
home, it’s best to consult with a real estate
professional that is
knowledgeable
in your area. As with any profession, those that work on a day to day
basis in
their field are typically the most knowledgeable.
Waco Residential Market Reports—August 2009
August does it. It outshines both June and July 09. Yes, still doesn't measure up to last year, but I really like the fact that we held steady and even beat the prior 2 months. Around mid month, things were looking very slow for August, but all of the end of month sales wrapped up the month to be a little better than the prior 2.
Things do slow down typically this time of year in any market, so look for a typical decrease in sales heading into the fall.
Please take note of average and median prices. Our market shows to be stable. I believe the growth and job opportunities in our area are contributing to a great overall market which is here to stay and only get better.
Here are the figures:
August 2009**
Residential Sales: 221
Median Sales Price: 110,900
Average Sales Price: 131,601
August 2009*
Residential Sales: 260
Median Sales Price: 109,400
Average Sales Price: 122,100
July 2009**
Residential Sales: 213
Median Sales Price: 117,000
Average Sales Price: 125,188
June 2009**
Residential Sales: 219
Median Sales Price: 128,000
Average Sales Price: 154,078

Waco Residential Market Reports—July 2009
Around the middle of July I started to think we wouldn’t meet our figures from June. Well we didn’t, but we are very close.
Still down from last year’s sales at this time as well, but that is not too surprising with all things considered. Dollar figures were nearly identical to last years in median and average sales prices, but less than June of this year.
As usual, certain areas in and around Waco are doing better than others. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Waco or Greater Waco area, it's very important to understand the trends in each neighborhood.
I can tell you that in some neighborhoods you are simply going to find much better deals than in others. And most of the best deals are NOT in the most popular neighborhoods.
I can also tell you that positioning your home properly to sell is still of the utmost importance. This means the right price and the best condition possible. Good homes for purchase are still tough to find. You want your home to stand out and be the one the buyers just can't resist.
Here are the figures:
July 2008*
Residential Sales: 249
Median Sales Price: 116,200
Average Sales Price: 127,300
July 2009**
Residential Sales: 213
Median Sales Price: 117,000
Average Sales Price: 125,188
June 2009**
Residential Sales: 219
Median Sales Price: 128,000
Average Sales Price: 154,078

Even a blurry shot through the window of a fast moving car doesn't stop the beauty of a colorful Sunset over Lake Waco. What a gorgeous drive this was yesterday at about 8:30 in the evening.

"We relocated to Waco from North Carolina and Wendy made the transition as painless as possible. Even long distance, Wendy worked tirelessly to provide listings of potential homes. Wendy willingly took us on two full weekends of house hunting, one when my husband flew out by himself and one when we actually moved to Waco. Wendy never acted frustrated or impatient with all the indecisive moments of trying to decide which property was "the" house for us! We cannot thank her enough for taking the time to help our family relocate to Waco and begin this new journey on the right foot! Thank you Wendy for being the utmost professional and friend!"~~~Hope & Anderson Veiga

"We wanted to share with you our absolute pleasure at the entire process of selling our home, because we think the credit should go to Wendy Montoya. She was a joy to work with.
Wendy is a dedicated, efficient, and straightforward professional. She was patient with all of our questions, answering them even when we were asking for the third time. She was very prompt in responding to, or initiating, any and all communication. There were several times that Wendy's sense of humor saved the day! While she is positive, and forward thinking, she is also cautious and aware of the possibilities for change. Wendy made the entire process, from listing to closing, easy, pleasant, and relatively painless. We have already shared her name and our experience with our friends." ~~~Brenda Smith, Jerry Preston, and Tucker Preston ____ ____
"This was my first time to sell a house. Wow... Wendy came to my house on a Sunday and walked me thru the process. I had a For Sale sign up that day, and within days there was a contract on my house. Now that's positive results. Wendy was there for me till the day I closed on my house. CUSTOMER SERVICE is the name of her game" ~~~Sandra Meeks

"With only a phone call and an email prior to our first meeting, Wendy was able to line up houses that fit my search criteria and resulted in us finding a home on the first day!"

"My wife and I had signed contracts with several real estate companies with no results in selling your house. Wendy called and presented herself as a positive seller. She proved herself in selling our house within days of the contract."

"Buying a house for the first time can be an exciting and nerve wrecking experience. But Wendy helped us to go through all the process and listened to our concerns. She put customer satisfaction as her #1 priority. I definitely recommend Wendy..."
