Edmond/OKC Real Estate Statistics for August 2007

By

While a few markets around the country are seriously struggling and values declining dramatically, the Real Estate market in Edmond, Oklahoma and the overall OKC metro area is still strong. Yes, for the second month in a row I have some slightly declining numbers, however, we're not yet reporting anything to cause alarm.

The following chart shows the monthly Oklahoma City Metropolitan Real Estate statistics for August 2007 as compared to July 2007 and August 2006.

 Aug-07Jul-07Aug-061-month change1-year change
TOTAL CLOSED 1918184820183.65%-5.21%
TOTAL $ VOLUME $296,046,237 $282,607,094 $304,046,099 4.54%-2.70%
AVERAGE PRICE $154,351 $152,925 $150,667 0.92%2.39%
MEDIAN PRICE $129,900 $132,000 $125,000 -1.62%3.77%
AVG. INT. RATE 6.27%6.24%6.64%0.48%-5.90%
%SELLING PRICE TO LIST PRICE 98%97%98%1.02%0.00%
DAYS ON MARKET 737671-4.11%2.74%
NUMBER OF LISTINGS 9495932888581.76%6.71%
ABSORPTION RATE4.955.054.39-1.96%11.33%

 As you can see, the total transactions closed and total $ volume is lower than this time last year, however, the average price and median price are still appreciating in comparison. You'll also notice that, in spite of the current problems in the mortgage industry, the average interest rate is better than that of August 2006.

The other figures are only slightly changed, and the absorption rate and the Days On Market have improved.

In summary, these figures show us that the Oklahoma City metro area Real Estate market and the Edmond Real Estate market are holding steady, despite the wariness of many consumers. With 9,495 homes currently on the market in the metro, and 1,918 sold in August, we currently have a 4.95 month inventory on hand.

In my experience, buyer traffic is very strong right now and with the anticipated drop in interest rates later this week, many more buyers will be out looking this month. If you have any questions about Homes for Sale in Edmond, OK, please don't hesitate to contact us for a free, no obligation analysis of the current market.

Hi Ryan,

Very well laid out. Your attention to statistical details is refreshing.

I do the same type of report for the visitors of my blog every month.

One of the ideas that just came to me as I read yours, was that it would be interesting to see what the "units sold" figures turned out to be year-over-year since 2001 when the tech bubble burst. To answer if we are moving more product every year since then or, if it has dropped off. If it dropped, it would be interesting to see by how much.

I think I'll go and try to get that information tommorrow just out of curiosities sakes for my area.
