Buyers See Real Estate as a Safe Investment 

Sharp increases in buyer demand coupled with a decreasing number of homes on the market has resulted in relatively stable prices and increased sales throughout much of the region.
 
Buyer activity has surged over 62% since July 2010 with a 9% increase in the last month alone. Buyers recognize that a mortgage payment may be less expensive than rent on a property; making home ownership the better choice.
 
Overall home sales increased 11% over 2010 levels in July. Sales were particularly strong under $400,000 yet higher priced homes priced above $400,000 had decreased by 6% on year-over-year sales.
 
Short sales and REO sales accounted for 65.3% of all sales in the region. While the high number of distressed sales contributed to a drop in the average price per square foot of 4% since 2010 the strong buyer demand has helped drive prices up 4% in the last month.

Buyers and investors see the value in today’s real estate market and are taking advantage of the best opportunity to own real estate in decades. With continued low interest rates and home ownership the lowest since the 1960’s and housing affordability the highest since the 1970’s we have every reason to expect to see continued stability in the region housing market for the foreseeable future.
