Greater Springfield MO Real Estate Market

Single Family Home Sales - 2010 v. 2011
 
 
Want to know how the 2011 real estate market in the Greater Springfield, MO, area compares with the real estate market in 2011?  Below is a chart which shows the total number of single family home sales per month for each year.

I was surprised to see that until the past couple of months, our sales were actually down in comparison with last year.  Much of this is attributable to the first-time homebuyer's tax credit.  Once the tax credit ended, it was literally months before we began to see first-time home buyers have much of a presence in our market again. 

It appears that we have turned a corner, and a new market is emerging with the re-introduction of the first-time home buyers in the game.  This will help our market tremendously in that many homeowners will now be able to purchase the next step up, and hopefully sales will continue to improve in the higher price ranges as well.  Great news for sellers!

If you are interested in selling your home in the Springfield, Ozark, Nixa, or Republic areas, call me for a free consultation.

Perhaps the dip in interest rates in July/ August contributed to the sales. It's certainly good news.
