New listings dropped 13% and homes under contract jumped 22% reducing the months of inventory to 1.5 months. A high inflation data report and the potential for future increases in mortgage interest rates pushed buyers into action. Six months is considered a balanced market. Sitting at 1.5 months of inventory, the Spring Texas real estate market is still a sellers market. Due to less demand, buyers are able to negotiate more than they were 12 months ago. Multiple offers are not a thing of the past. They still exist and will always exist when a property is priced correctly, staged, and strategically marketed.
Price decrease skyrocketed 37% week over week. Further analysis shows the actual price decreases were minimal and only represented a 1 – 2% price reduction. A small price adjustment is sellers trying to hit a new pool of buyers.
