At Allie Beth Allman & Associates safety is our highest priority for our agents, clients and the public. We have implemented protocols to address this throughout a showing.
April 2021 was another record setting month, for me personally it was also another unprecedented month in my nearly 30-year real estate career.
On 1/11/2021 FNMA (Fannie Mae) came out with the following predictions: At the end of 2021 GDP of 5.1% for the year with an especially strong 3rd and 4th quarter. Unemployment to be below 4% by the 4th quarter of 2022. Housing prices to increase nationally 3.7% in 2021 with 30 year fixed rate mortgages around 2.8%.
Local market trends matter more than ever and are driving what is happening by price point, state, city and the neighborhood you live in.
So let’s look at some positives for our local market, showings continue to be strong.
Listings dropped at the end of April and continue to be down almost 62% compared to April 2020 (months supply of inventory). Interest rates have inched up from the historic lows from the end of 2020 which have buyers in the market looking for well priced and well conditioned “market ready” homes. And in many neighborhoods homes are receiving multiple offers.
According to NTREIS, our local MLS, the marketplace for East Dallas residential properties April 2021 versus the same period in 2020:
- The Number of SOLD listings Increased more than 47% to 275 units with a top sale of $2,805,000 at 6858 Tokalon Drive.
- The Average Sales Price Increased by 6.7% to $524,220 moving the Average Price Per Sq Foot Up 4.5% to $252 per sq foot.
- The inventory of properties available for sale measured in months supply Decreased by an astounding 62% to 1.3 months worth of properties for sale due to extreme buyer demand.
- Mortgage rates Decreased 8% with the 30 year fixed rate average near 2.98% according to Mortgage Rate Source: FreddieMac
Additionally you will find below the 4 Neighborhood Reports for April 2021 compared to April 2020.
Numbers for July through April were strong and record setting. Economists are predicting a stronger than normal spring market as long as there is sufficient inventory.
