If you are looking to purchase a home in Prosper, TX in October, you'll very likely be using 30-day sale comps to compose your offer. Here's what the last 30-day sale comps show us in Prosper:

16 total home sales in the last 30 calendar days, as opposed to 22 homes sold in the 30-days prior

6 of those sales had sale prices above $100/sf

8 of those sales had sale prices above $91/sf

12 of those sales were of 4-bedroom homes

11 of those sales were of homes with 3 or more garage spaces

The average days on market was 128

The average square footage of living space (heated and cooled / non-garage) was over 3,400sf

The average lot size was .55 acres

The average age of a sold home was 4 years old

The average sale price was $324,302

8 of those sales were between $350,000 and $825,000

8 of those sales were between $97,000 and $260,000

There were two 'Z' sales (undisclosed sale prices) of luxury properties that had been listed at $385,000 and $825,000.

The lion's share of the home sales in the MLS occurred in Lakes of La Cima and Willow Ridge.

The last home I sold in Prosper took a contract by the 10th day of the listing and from one of the first 20 showings. It sold for 98.57% of the list price. And, there were backup offers ready to buy the home if the first buyer was unable. When you tour in Prosper, TX and find the home you want to buy, keep in mind that you are not alone and offer accordingly. You may think of this as the 'slow season', because the kids have gone back to school and the weather is cooling. But, Dallas has no 'season'. Even in record temperatures in August, that were well over 100 degrees for far too long, we sold 22 homes in Prosper. With a strong corporate base feeding our area from the Northern portions of Plano, we sell homes year-round in Prosper. While you are trying to haggle over the price, someone else is likely to beat you to the punch. Act quickly, even at this time of year.

Have a blessed day!

Written by Ronda Allen, C.P.M., Agent in Prosper August 27, 2009 12:59 PM Home Buying in Prosper

It could have gone either way at the top of the Summer, but the results are in and it appears the buying public likes what they see in Prosper. Running the sale comps and available inventory in Lakes of La Cima, we currently have 18 homes available and 17 homes sold since June 1st. Starting in the $230's and into the $600's, Lakes of La Cima is going head-to-head with new construction and still selling. That is very hard to do, and says a lot for the level of construction and upgrades that the homeowners put into phase one construction - well ahead of the recession of 2008.

Resale values have recovered nicely since last Summer, and there are only a few builder specs from 2008 still on the market. Be sure to run sale comps prior to offering on these homes. They may be remaining inventory, but the builders have them priced to sell.

As a resident Realtor of Prosper, I made a very smart investment in Lakes of La Cima in 2006 and can attest personally to the quality of the homes and the schools in our community.
