May homes sales are in, and it’s close to a carbon copy of last month’s spectacular performance. Overall Dallas sales were up 27% with a median sales price 26% higher than a year ago. Homes are selling so quickly, it gives the appearance of a low inventory situation. This has been the common theme, but we did sell 10,000 homes last month with another 12,000 homes under contract to sell in June. Because they sell so quickly, the impression left is “nothing available”. Plano homes, for example, have an average 11 days on market. Coppell and Allen 12 days; Carrollton-Farmers Branch 13 days; Richardson 14 days. I googled some old photos of the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889…some similarities there!
Last month I was guessing we might slow it down a little, with vacation season upon us. Now I’m having my doubts. We’re likely to see this market activity continue. How long? Probably until the demand pushes prices to resistance, whenever that is!
Below are the results for a sample of submarkets I follow. Enjoy!
