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!
