What is a market shift?  It is when a inbalence in supply and demand exists.  When there are more homes on the market than buyer demand, this is seen as a buyer's market.  When the buyer demand exceeds the number of real estate listings on the market, it is a seller's market.  This easy way to think about a shift to a buyer's market is when fewer listings are selling, and when more listings are selling a seller's market.

Here are some standards to represent whether or not the Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita market is a buyer's or seller's market.

Buyer's Market - More than 7 Months of Inventory
Transitional or Balanced Market - From 5 - 7 Months of Inventory
Seller's Market - Less than 5 Months of Inventory

Remember that national shifts happen over a period of time while local markets can shift overnight.  Things that can cause these shifts include exchange rates, political climates, global factors, interest rates, tighter regulations, inflation, population, jobs, household income, neighborhood dynamics, housing prices, and even our own thoughts and perceptions.  Here are some local statistics to give you a better idea of the housing market in the Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita TX areas.  While only months ago the $400,000 homes and above were doing quite well, our nation fell into a credit crisis and investment portfolios shrunk significantly.  Also the market under $150,000 did great a couple of years ago with several financing opportunities that no longer exist because of lack of accountability on multiple fronts.  These statistics are generalized.
