The Lakes of South Shore Harbour Market Report for April 2015

If you’ve seen your tax appraisal go up recently (and who hasn’t) and you live in the Lakes of South Shore Harbour, there is good reason.  The market values in our neighborhood are continuing to climb.  While the jump isn’t as steep as last year’s increase, the values are rising nonetheless.

Sales information as reported by the Houston Association of Realtors:
According to the data posted in HAR, The Lakes of South Shore Harbour saw 6 houses closed in April 2015, ranging from $194,240 – $374,250 adjusted sales price.  This came out to an average adjusted sales price of $95.16 per sq. ft.  Please note, this does not include the auction sale of a foreclosure home during this month.  Year to date (ending in April), there were 20 homes that sold at an average adjusted sales price of $93.89 per sq. ft.

Compare to the same time period last year and you will see the steady climb.  Last year’s figures showed 9 houses sold in April 2014 at $94.62 per sq. ft.  And the same 2014 year to date time frame had 32 sales at $90.46 per sq. ft.

Sales remain brisk with average days on the market coming in at 47.  And while that seems quick, if you exclude the one property that took over 200 days to go under contract, the days on the market shrinks to a mere 17 days.

At this time, there are currently 7 active listings for sale in the Lakes of South Shore Harbour and 14 under contract.

And yes, with a continuing rise in sales prices, low days on the market, and low inventory, our neighborhood is still showing signs of a strong Seller’s Market.

Please note that these figures are based on information as supplied by HAR and do not include homes that may have been offered For Sale by Owner.
