MetroTex Association of REALTORS releases real estate statistics for June 2016
Grapevine home sales decreased in June and home prices continued to increase with high demand, according to the June 2016 North Texas housing market report released today by the MetroTex Association of REALTORS.
“Homes are selling very quickly in Grapevine and buyers are finding that sales prices are rising with the high demand,” said Russell Berry, president of MetroTex. “Available inventory is simply too low for the level of demand.”
According to the report, 65 homes were sold in Grapevine in June 2106, down 18.8 percent compared to the year prior. The median price for Grapevine area homes increased 4.8 percent year-over-year to $330,000 during the same time frame.
Grapevine’s monthly home inventory was 1.6 months in June 2016. The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University cites that 6.5 months of inventory represents a market in which supply and demand for homes is balanced.
Homes spent an average of 23 days on the market in June 2016. Additionally, there were 75 active listings for the Grapevine housing market during the same time frame.
