By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 311578

The Clear Lake Homes  market may be down 12% this year, however the
the Meadowgreen neighborhood has held steady with 34 closed homes
through October 31st, 2009.  Strangely enough, there were exactly
34 homes sold during that same time frame last year.

Meadowgreen house prices remain relatively stable with an average
sales price this year of $148,657.  This compares to $149,297 last
year.  The average days on the market is just under 2 months compared
to 64 days in 2008.  No big change there.

The number of foreclosures in the area is unchanged as well.  2 of the
34 homes sold in Meadowgreen this year were foreclosures.  Same for last
year.  Clear Lake as a whole in the last 12 months has had fewer than
3% foreclosures. 

Homes in Meadowgreen did sell closer to their listed price last year
at a 98.6% list to sales price ratio while the figure this year is
97%.

Currently there are 11 homes for sale in Meadowgreen; 2 of those are
under contract.  That lines up well with the Clear Lake homes market
now as approximately 20% of the homes for sale here are under contract.

Meadowgreen homeowners may want to take advantage of the $6,500 tax
credit available to families who elect to buy another home.  Homeowners
must have owned their home for 5 years or more to qualify.

Nice to see that some neighborhoods are holding their own.  Have a son on the NW side of Houston.. Hopefully the neighborhood he is in is doing as well.

It's not about houses, it's about people

 

Thanks Darren,

Have you read Gary's book, Shift?

I started in Houston in the infamous oil crunch of the early 80's.

Oddly enough I knew how to sell foreclosures, then when we shifted
into a "normal" market, I was scared to death!  But I eventually
got over it.  The good thing now is that when the market does shift
down, I can deal with it.

Take care,
John
