Dallas Real Estate Market is still
Chugging Right Along

Here's the broad scoop for the month of October for Single
Family Homes in the Dallas Real Estate Market:

• Sales down 13%
• Dollar Volume down 10%
• Average Price up 3% ($194,441)
  
• Median Price up 2%  ($146,000)
• Price Per Sq Ft up 3% ($90.00)
• Days on Market up 7% (75 Days)
• Pending Sales down 13%
• New Listings down 5%
• Active Listings up 4%

Although this this an accurate picture of the current market - each
sub area needs to be looked at separately.

October will be the first month where HOT Areas south of LBJ have
felt substantial decreases, take a look at N. Dallas and Park Cities.

North Dallas

• Sales down 13%
• Average Price up 30% ($1,039,006)
• Median Price down 7% ($589,000)
• Price Per Sq Ft up 15% ($257.00)
  
• Days on Market up 3% (74)
• Pending Sales down 8%
• Active Listings up 12%
• Months Supply up 24% (8.2)

Park Cities

• Sales down 26%
• Average Price up 38% ($1,150,893)
• Median Price down 13% ($805,000)
• Price Per Sq Ft up 16% ($329.00)
  
• Days on Market up 43% (75)
• Pending Sales down 8%
• Active Listings up 13%
• Months Supply up 24% (8.2)

Far North Dallas

• Sales down 26%
• Average Price down 11% ($341,490)
• Median Price down 4% ($266,000)
• Price Per Sq Ft down 8% ($112.00)
  
• Days on Market down 5% (63)
• Pending Sales down 23%
• Active Listings down 4%
• Months Supply up flat (5.0)

Plano

• Sales down 8%
• Average Price up 5% ($282,865)
• Median Price down 9% ($220,000)
• Price Per Sq Ft up 1% ($99.00)
  
• Days on Market up 5% (61)
• Pending Sales down 6%
• Active Listings up 9%
• Months Supply up 21% (4.7)

Plano took a big hit a couple of months ago and seems
to be weathering the storm just fine - more appreciation to come
faster now.

The Big Shout Out from this is the areas south of LBJ are
experiencing a huge adjustment - most resale homes are priced above
$500,000 and there is over an 11 month supply on the market once
you hit that price level.

North Dallas and Park Cities still show up in all categories by double
digits increases - except for sales - that will force a downward pressure
in pricing especially for the time of year. (in my opinion) Note: Pending
sales are down 8% and that is another disappointing  indicator for
Nov. sales.

This does not include builders of new homes and if you're over the
$1,000,000. mark, and have been sitting on the side lines waiting for
the right time to buy...This is it! 

Builders will want to get inventory off their books that has been
sitting for year(s).  Not kidding...Many builders got caught in speculating
before the market changed and it's lasted longer than they thought.

Many new homes are sitting vacant that would love to have a new family
for the holidays and I'm sure the builders would love to sell you. ( I know
where some great properties are)....

This also goes for condos and townhomes that are experiencing a huge
glut of inventory in areas south of LBJ, including Oak Lawn and Uptown...
