Montgomery Housing Market Defies Predictions

Housing prices are expected to continue to have a limited fall throughout 2006, according to testimony submitted by the National Association of Realtors® at last week's Senate Banking Committee hearing on the economy. The Midtown Montgomery housing market is disregarding this forecast, however, with increased sales and increased prices.

The number of sold single family homes in Midtown Montgomery for August is up 64 percent compared to August 2005. The number of pending listings, which is a leading indicator of the future of the market, has increased by 14 percent. At the same time, there has been a dramatic decrease in market time. August 2005 saw market times of 178 days compared to this August's 84 days, a 53 percent decrease. The average sales price has increased by $10,860 or 8 percent.
