We’ve been talking about the lack of housing inventory for the past six months. We have a huge demand for houses and the ones on the market that are properly prepared, priced, and show-ready are under contract in a matter of weeks (in a few days below $200k).
The question we get asked the most is “why” is this happening.
It’s simple math! Take a look at the chart above–over the past 12 months we seen new listings rise 2 percent, yet closed sales are up over 17 percent. There’s more good news. Days on Market has dropped from 95 days to 71 days and the average sales price is up 2.5 percent over last year. Even more significant is the Months of Supply which is down 36.8 percent to just 3.4 months.
What’s the take-a-way for home sellers and buyers?
If you are looking to sell, this is the best time in years. Selling now allows you to move up or move down taking advantage of the market condition not only in selling but also allows you to take advantage of the historic low mortgage interest rates.
If you’re looking to buy, you need to move quickly. Gone are the days of searching for months and coming back to see how much prices have been reduced. Wait a few weeks and the house will be under contract. The same is true for making low offers just to see what happens. We’re seeing multiple offer situations on many houses.

Gina and I attended a kick-off party for Hamilton Hills last night at the “old farm house” in Montgomery Farm. Belclaire Homes and David Weekly Homes sponsored the event for a limited number of agents who have been actively involved in the early stages of the project.
Hamilton Hills East and West are located just west of Central Expressway where Bethany Road intersects with Alma Road, these two developments offer a small community feeling while still enjoying all that Montgomery Farm has to offer.
We picked up quite a bit of new information that we want to pass along.
Belcaires Homes will build on the 18 exterior lots including the greenbelt and creek lots. Homes will range in size from 3900 to over 5200 square feet and prices will start around $550k.
David Weekly Homes will be building the Custom Classic line on the 19 interior lots along Hamilton Green. Homes will range from 3200 to 4800 square feet and prices will start in the low $500k range.
Both builders will begin presales in October and the model homes should be open in January 2013.
