Dallas Home Sales Stats for December and YTD 2022
Only two weeks have passed since my most recent report on the November data (attached), but we now can report on the full year results for 2022. Single family home sales totaled 6,246 properties in December, representing 29% fewer sales than in December 2021. Median sales prices were 6% higher than the same time last year. For the 12 months annual total, sales were down 12%, with median prices finishing the year 16% higher than this time last year. We know it’s a tale of two halves of the year, with the explosive sales and price growth in the first half, and the explosive growth in interest rates in the second half. Government official incorrectly dismissed the first half inflation as “transitory”, and the Fed has been chasing inflation with rate increases during this second half.
I mentioned last month the National Association of Realtors economists firmly believe mortgage rates are topping out, having hovered in the mid 6% range for most of November and December after peaking at 7% this fall. With a slowing economy (nationally), the pressure on rates should slacken, if the economists are correct. Still, we need a strong economy producing jobs and putting down payments in buyers’ pockets, but not so strong as to stoke inflation. Glad I’m not the Fed chair.
So, if you want to buy, buy and then refinance. If you want to sell, try to focus on your healthy gains in value during your ownership rather than lamenting what you may have missed during the roaring (early) 20’s. The wise Will Rogers once said, “Don’t wait to buy a house; buy a house and wait”. Here’s wishing you a prosperous 2023.
