An Early Look a February Numbers The Woodlands, Texas

As February winds down we can start to look at how the numbers are shaking out here in The Woodlands, Texas.  Listing inventory is up this year with 281 listings versus last year’s 253 listings.  Contracts written in January were 65 this year with 68 last year.  So what type of market is The Woodlands, Texas in right now?  First let’s set the stage based off what real estate economist believe:

 

Less than six-month of For Sale Inventory= Seller’s market

Six Month Supply of For Sale Inventory=Balanced market

More than six-month of For Sale Inventory= Buyer’s market

 

Looking at all of The Woodlands the months of inventory is sitting at 4.5, so a seller’s market.  If you look at the price range $0-$500,000 you are looking at a seller’s market.  $501,000 and up is a buyer’s market.  Now that changes if we look at individual areas of The Woodlands or we look at it by sales price.  Real estate is local so while looking at these numbers can give some insight it is best to look specifically in your price range in your neighborhood.

 

Where can you get that information?  I’m glad you asked.  Shoot me an email at Scott@ScottCulberson.com.  I would love the opportunity to help you to…

Two Tired of the Negative?

IMG_0883Tooooooooo often we change our tires, not because we want to, but because we HAVE to.  If you take care of your car and your tires on a routine basis they both will last longer and perform better.  You have heard this all before, and you might have heard some negative talk about the Real Estate Market.  It’s time to STOP looking backward and to start looking forward.

Here’s a wake up call……

WE ARE HAVING A SALE!!!!

That’s right, it’s time to see if home ownership is right for YOU!!!  Don’t wait, don’t delay, we may NEVER see interest rates this low……EVER!!!!!  It’s time to get rid of those old ways of thinking and all that negative energy I hear about the real estate market.  It’s time to change those TIRED old ways of thinking.  It’s 2012, a new year is here and Valentines Day will be here soon.  No I’m not suggesting that you get your sweetheart a set of tires, but maybe it’s time to learn about how to buy a home, put down some roots and get some REAL traction.   Yes, yes, yes, yes, you’ve been dreaming of having a place to call your own…..are you two tired of the negative to give it a shot?

Maybe it’s not you, maybe, just maybe you need a new approach, a POSTIVE approach to your real estate dreams.

THIS REALTORS PERSPECTIVE

When your searching for your lease home look for the comforts that speak to you.  Security gate, patio, location from church, work or shopping.  But what your REALLY going to want to do is talk with your REALTOR.  BEFORE you start looking……Take the time to understand:

  1. Where you stand on your credit score
  2. How your income affects rental ability
  3. How past rental history will affect your ability to lease
  4. Specific needs pets, schools

Their are many leasing options, but they will not be around forever.  If you have found the property that works for you do not wait, have your REALTOR submit an application on your behalf as soon as possible.   Your REALTOR can help you to HOME SWEET HOME, that’s what we do…lease, own, land, home, condo, townhome….our job is to help you find your way home and THAT will help you to………………….
