鲱鱼 Bogany, chairman of the Texas REALTORS®, 对结果进行评论, “Texas REALTORS® saw a marked increase in the pace of home sales as 2012 came to a close and homeowners are expressing a lot of enthusiasm about 2013.”
如报告所述, 56,488 single-family homes were sold in Texas in the fourth quarter of 2012，也就是19.82% more than the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, the median price was $159,200, which is 7.超过42% 2011-Q4. Those are the highest figures for sales volume and price seen in a fourth quarter in Texas since the association began issuing the Texas Quarterly Housing Report in 2009.
“This positive performance is evidence of a true rebound in Texas real estate that reaches broadly around the state,吉姆·盖恩斯说, Ph.D., economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&米大学. “We’re moving briskly down the road to recovery, thanks to positive economic activity in Texas and improvements in the attitudes homeowners have about the market. 展望未来, I expect to see that confidence inspire more buyers and sellers to jump off the fence and into the market this year.”
The fourth quarter of 2012 also marked the sixth quarter of decreasing inventory for the Texas real estate market, which is an indicator of the balance between supply and demand for homes. 这个市场的特色是.6个月的库存 2012-Q4，也就是1.8 months less than the same quarter of the prior year. In comparison, the Real Estate Center cites 6.5 months of inventory as a market in which demand is balanced with supply.
盖恩斯解释, “Over the last year-and-a-half, we’ve seen steadily increasing demand for homes, but falling numbers of listings. That has caused the inventory of homes to shrink and prices to begin rising. Those price increases could give sellers confidence, spurring them to consider listing their homes in 2013.”
主席 Bogany 继续, “These strong results show that we’ve been successful making Texas a great place to own a home. Now, we must help homeowners protect their investments by preparing for the growth of our state.
