San Antonio Housing Market Statistics – January 2012
The San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR) recently published the housing markets stats for January 2012
While we did see a slight dip in prices, sales are up!
In January 2012, there were 991 single family residential home sales…a 5% increase from January 2011′s number of 948.
The average sales price of $174,789 is down 3% from last January & the median sales price of $141,200 is down 4% from January 2011.
Liza Reyes, SABOR’s 2012 Chairman of the Board, states that this decrease is “nothing to be alarmed about…Slight fluctuations are very common to the San Antonio market. San Antonio is known for being a healthy market and any healthy market will reflect little ups and downs, it is very natural.”
There are many reasons why people continue to buy here in San Antonio…
“According to recent Newsweek comparison of the 200 largest U.S. cities, San Antonio was ranked third for its strong scores in business development; transportation and infrastructure; sustainability; and livability. This ranking comes just on the heels of the Boeing and Eagle Ford Shale’s announcements for plans to create more jobs in San Antonio within the next three years. The economic impact from Boeing alone to San Antonio is over $500 million dollars annually.” (sabor)
As we get ready to head into the busy Spring & Summer Buying & Selling seasons, our expectations are optimistic and we just may be in store for a great 2012!
