Market Trends
New Construction
With supply being low, new construction is important to help increase the supply of available homes. When looking at the number of building permits from the Census data, you can see a dramatic decline in new construction in Collin County from 2005. The numbers are still not at the levels they were in 2005. There has been a significant increase in SFR building permits in Denton County and they are now at the highest level.
REO Sales
Here is a look at REO (foreclosure) sales. There is a been a significant decline in the number of foreclosure sales in the past three years and this declining trend continues.
We do not make market predictions as there are too many variables that could impact our real estate markets. We do follow historical and current market trends. If the supply of homes increases with new construction this may impact the current trends.

With an appreciating market like this, do you calculate an increase in value for comps that are past 60 or 90 days out?
ReplyDeleteGreat question, Gabe. This is a look at all sales within each county so of course there will be smaller submarkets that show different levels of appreciation. If there are not comparable sales within 90 days and that particular submarket for similar homes shows appreciation, then appraisers can make a time adjustment for those sales. Appraiser's will also look at any similar active or pending listings to get an understanding of the current/future market for similar properties.
