Bryan and College Station real estate Slowdown?

Both Bryan and College Station posted home sales down in August from previous years and the past very strong months. Remember that July of this year was a record breaking year with sales surpassing previous years strongly. This could be an indication that the market is softening slightly here, though it could be that many people that traditionally would have bought in August instead jump started their plans and bought in July.

Overall there were 411 new listings in August. 292 sales occurred with a total number of active listings sitting at 1,139. The average sales price stayed strong at $179,870. Average days on the market stood steady at 105.

In the lower end market up to 99K there were 44 sold and 216 total listings. in the 100-180K market there were 149 sold with 446 total listed. In the 180-299K price range 57 sold with 257 total listed. Over 300K saw 30 sold with 220 total listed.

Again remember that in July we saw an almost equal number of sales and listings in the more popular price categories up to 200K. This could be the beginning of a slight softening or it could be a minor fluctuation.

Stay tuned for more details!
