MetroTex Association of REALTORS releases real estate statistics for June 2016

Irving home sales increased in June and home prices increased dramatically with high demand, according to the June 2016 North Texas housing market report released today by the MetroTex Association of REALTORS. 

“The number of homes sold in Irving decreased compared to last year, largely due to lack of inventory. Sales prices are growing quickly, so we know demand is there,” said Russell Berry, president of MetroTex.

According to the report, 171 homes were sold in Irving in June 2106, down 12.3 percent as the year prior. The median price for Irving area homes increased 45.7 percent year-over-year to $269,500 during the same time frame.

Irving’s monthly housing inventory was 2.3 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 38 days on the market in June 2016. Additionally, there were 366 active listings for the Irving housing market during the same time frame.
