Dallas Area Residential Sales Report for April

Sales off slightly. Prices up sharply

Sales fell 3% as compared to last April. Pending sales dropped 4%. The average sales price increased by 19% while the median sales price rose 23%.  The good news if you are a buyer was a 6% rise in new listings and a 33% jump in active listings. The months of inventory now stands at 1.1 months. That’s better than the 0.9 months in March but a very long way from the 6 months that’s considered a balanced market.

We are seeing a drop off in the number of people attending open houses and while the best homes are receiving multiple offers above the list price, we are starting to see some price reductions. Look for price
