market conditions: Little Rock Arkansas Home Sale Trends Mixed in May and June - 07/09/10 06:06 AM
After just under a 14% increase in sold homes in May, June's only showed a 3.1% increase. Obviously a result of a slowing of closings after the Tax Credit ending of contract time at the end of May. The number of listings on the market also increase in both months but instead of slowing, the number of listing increase. May had a 3.1 % increase and June had a 7.5% increase in properties on the market. These figures  lead to a decrease of days on the market in May to 93 average days on market, but lost half that with an … (0 comments)

market conditions: Some Little Rock Homes Selling Fast - 06/24/09 05:50 AM
Yes, many homes are selling fast when they hit the market here in Little Rock, but a lot of homes are taking much longer to sell. This gap between those that are selling fast and the slow sellers has expanded in this market. The residential market has become a competition of price and condition that you either win fast or lose. The homes that are priced fairly and in good condition are selling in under 30 days most of the time. The homes that are overpriced for this market either because of the condition or a seller that will not meet … (0 comments)

In these reports we have been looking at the Absorption rate on home sales by area. Today I looked at how sales were doing by price range. The most active price range is below $300,000.

market conditions: Arkansas and 32 Other States Homes Prices Increased - 11/20/07 05:37 AM
I saw a report in Inman News that First American Loan Proformance released it's Home Price Profromance Index for the 12 months since September 2006. The index shows that Arkansas along with 32 others states had markets where home values were still increasing. There were only 17 states that had home values that decreased. So in about 2/3's of the US markets are good enough for values to increase. Why in most media reports does it sound like the whole country is in a bad market. Hopefully these reports will be on the front pages of papers and on the nightly … (1 comments)
