2009 January-July Market Statistics

2009

Bryan/College Station

Real Estate Market Statistics

January – JuLY

WOW what a summer we have had!  Sales are still off a bit from last year but compared to the rest of the country, Bryan/College Station is doing great. We missed some of the TAMU parent investors this year. I think this is partly due to the fear in the economy and also the tightening of the available “little money down” mortgage programs. As usual, when a problem arises regulations tend to swing from one extreme to the other. In the past there has been too little mortgage and appraisal regulation – now we have too much.

So – what does this mean to you? It means that when you are ready to buy or sell it is VERY important to work with an agent that KNOWS the market. You want one that knows the market statistics and changes. You probably should work with the agent who provides you with these numbers each month!

    Great to see other ares have positve signs in the nmarket. We are Realtors in the Phoenix Arizona and have been hit harder than most areas with foreclosures. It is difficult to find properties that are not lender owned (unless they are short sales which will soon be lender owned in most cases)
    However, there is a silver lining in the market. Buyers are returning in large numbers and REO’s are selling in a few days with multiple offers being the norm. I too believe that a new wave of foreclosures is due soon but, at least here, the savvy buyers are ready, willing and able.
    It is an exciting time to be a Realtor in the Valley of the Sun.
