September numbers are out, so here's what's really going on with Houston real estate — the short version.
About 7,030 homes sold last month, a little fewer than last year. Rates are the main reason. The 30-year is at 7.40% right now, and buyers are taking their time because of it.
Prices aren't falling, though. The median is still $325,000, same as a year ago. And there are over 40,000 homes to choose from, which we haven't seen in a while — so if you're buying, you actually have options again, and a little room to negotiate.
Selling? Pricing it right from the start matters. Homes that come out asking too much are the ones sitting.
