Ron Neal’s Candid Comments on Victoria Real Estate Market for November 2014

Posted by Ron Neal on Wednesday, November 5th, 2014 at 12:13pm.

While our weather cooled our real estate market certainly didn’t! The number of listings has been slowly declining over the past year relative to the previous year and the inventory of actively available listings for sale dropped suddenly and sharply by almost 10% between the end of September and about the middle of October from nearly 4,400 listings to less than 4,000. Sales increased from the previous month and were also up over the same month last year. Overall conditions are trending again to a balanced market with the ratio of listings to sales for the month now equaling a 6.5 month supply. Of course there are different trends and markets being experienced in different areas, property types and price ranges.
