Well, it’s been another busy week around here… we’re in the midst of that time of year when buyers are out in full force looking for a new place to call home, and many home owners have it on their mind to get listed and take advantage of that buyer traffic.

As a result, I think we’ll see the activity in the Homestead addition pick up over the next few weeks, so I thought now would be a good time to post a summary of what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Homestead.

People always want to know “What did that house around the corner sell for” or “How much is that house on X street listed for?” So, I designed this report to keep you up-to-date on inventory levels, then quarterly I’ll break down overall neighborhood pricing and compare it to the previous year. This combination gives us all a real pulse on the health of the Homestead real estate market. Hopefully, it will be a useful resource for all of the current home owners, and those thinking about moving here.

Here are the Homestead homes that closed within the past 60 days:

And here are the homes currently on the market in Homestead (Active & Pending):

Well, it took our local association almost a month, but they’ve finally published the stats for home sales in February, and once again we’ve got good news to report here in Central Oklahoma, although we did see a small drop in overall volume for the first time in quite a while.

Hopefully this summary will help you see for yourself what the market’s really doing, rather than buying into the false perception that’s so easy to follow these days.

Check this out:

Since the negatives are what so many like to focus on, here they are:

• Approximate 4% drop in the number of homes sold compared to this time last year
• 1% decrease in total volume over a year ago
• Homes are taking about a week longer, on average, to sell than last year

And here are the positive factors that sometimes are ignored:

• We experienced an annual appreciation rate of almost 3%
• Interest rates are historically low, averaging 5.56%
• We saw a respectable drop in absorption rate (which I predicted last month), meaning that inventory is selling off and falling back to a healthy level

The negative media-fed perception is still keeping a lot of buyers on the fence until they feel safe again, but spring fever will counter a lot of that and we’ll likely see an increase in volume next month.

Overall, these numbers are worth getting excited about. While a few markets around the country are seeing decreasing values and slow markets, we’re still enjoying annual appreciation.  Are you still sitting on the sidelines??

As I said yesterday, it’s been a busy week around here… we’re in the midst of that time of year when buyers are out in full force looking for a new place to call home, and many home owners have it on their mind to get listed and take advantage of that buyer traffic.

As a result, I got a call this afternoon from a gentleman who lives in Fenwick, located between Penn and Western, North of NW 164th.  While researching the current sales and listings in Fenwick, I thought now would be a good time to post a summary of what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Fenwick.

It’s been a busy week around here… the home buyers are out in full force and we’ve had more requests than normal for information about certain neighborhoods.  While researching the Copper Creek addition (SE corner of NW 178th & Penn) yesterday, I thought now would be a good time to post a summary of what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Copper Creek?

A good friend of mine bought a gorgeous home in Summer Ridge last year, and he’s really in tune with what’s going on in the neighborhood. Of course, I’m always interested too, since it’s one of the communities I had a part in developing, so I thought I’d dig in to see what’s been going on in the neighborhood over the past 60 days.

So, what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Summer Ridge?

I got a call today from a gentleman who lives in Cedar Pointe and is thinking about selling his home.  I figured while I’m researching the most recent comps in the neighborhood, now would be a good time for my monthly report on what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Cedar Pointe.

It’s time for the March 2008 edition of my monthly report on what’s selling, what’s not, and what’s new on the market in Cheyenne Crossing.

Now, normally I’d have a chart here showing the homes that have sold in Cheyenne Crossing during the past 60 days, but I can’t do that this month, simply because the last home closed in the neighborhood was in December.  So, this month, I’m only posting the homes currently listed in Cheyenne Crossing (Active & Pending):
