The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues Steady Growth Through September 2015

buyersroad-300x286

 

For over the last eighteen months or so, the local & national real estate markets have reflected a gradual and steady growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market through September of 2015, we will see that such local & national trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market, continue to reflect these very same trends of gradual growth that we also see nationally, and have seen for some time now. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for September of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in September of 2014.

 

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing September of 2015 to that of September of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 15% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 215 more homes that were sold as of the end of September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014. This figure is actually one of the largest, if not the largest, increase in sales seen so far this year, when comparing a month in this year (2015), as opposed to the previous year (2014) in the same calendar month. Quite an increase, for sure, when comparing September 2015, to that of the year before, in September 2014 – all of which shows a continued strength in this particular real estate category.

 

SEPT 2015 - GRAPH 1

 

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014, we see an increase of 22% in terms of dollar volume through September of 2015, as compared to September of 2014. This category does show a very high percentage from year-to-year, showing that there is continued, strong growth in this category, along with reflecting the strongest growth year-to-year so far to date in 2015, as compared to that of 2014. This continues to show a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady, stable, and even robust growth in terms of this category, as well, and also continues to reflect the consistently higher home prices that have been taking place for over the last eighteen months now on a national scale.

 

SEPT 2015 - GRAPH 2

 

There is also continued good news for sellers in the Average Sold Price Category. For September of 2015, as compared to that of September of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 6%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, reflecting a stronger local market in this category, despite a slight decline in this category from that of the previous month. As confidence continues to grow in both the local and national markets, we foresee that this relatively steady trend of higher home prices will likely continue for at least the short-term horizon, if not longer.

 

SEPT 2015 - GRAPH 3

 

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a trend of steady decreases, which has also occurred over the last several months, as well. Through September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 4%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 199 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline is not as steep as the previous month, but still reflects a continued decline in available inventory on the whole here in the local market, which has been occurring now for the last several months. This is largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a gradual decline in available home inventory as a whole. This may foretell that with declining inventory, the local market is beginning to show some possible movement towards more people possibly wanting to buy the many available properties currently in the local market, and that with higher home prices, more people may start to feel a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market. We will continue watching to see if this particular trend continues, and see what it does for the real estate market as a whole, both here locally, as well as nationally.

 

SEPT 2015 - GRAPH 4

 

As the markets continue these gradual trends of growth locally and nationally, these statistics are largely expected to remain largely steady at least for the short-term, largely continuing the same continued gradual, but steady, growth that has been seen now for over the last few months, and is largely expected to continue through the remainder of 2015. Mortgage rates still remain at historically low rates, and there are still plenty of housing options to choose from, especially in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market.

Recent National Real Estate Trends Show Encouraging Outlook for the Market as a Whole

Housing Recovery

 

Throughout 2015, there have been some very encouraging signs that the national real estate market continues improving, especially in terms of higher home prices. In addition, there are some additional national trends that show a continued recovery in the national real estate market, as well, and point to a positive outlook through the rest of 2015, and perhaps beyond. Recently, new data from Zillow shows that the share of underwater mortgage holders, who are those that more owe more than their homes are worth, has now dropped by more than half since peaking in early 2012, showing that only 14.4% of homeowners with a mortgage have negative equity as of the second quarter of 2015, as opposed to being at 31.4% in the first quarter of 2012. Along with this recent news, U.S. real estate was recently ranked #1 in the world by the influential Savills World Residential Investability Report, spurred on recent general economic growth and market recovery potential in the nation, as a whole. Lastly, new home sales in August 2015 surged by 5.7%, showing the strongest pace of growth in this category since February 2008. Very encouraging signs for the national real estate market, to be sure, and could bode well for the remainder of 2015.

 

With these encouraging national real estate trends, along with still historically-low interest rates, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you and your home ownership needs.

The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues Its Steady Growth Through August 2015

buyersroad-300x286

 

For over the last eighteen months or so, the local & national real estate markets have reflected a steady, but gradual, growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market through August of 2015, we will see that such local & national trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market, continue to reflect these very same trends of gradual growth that we also see nationally, and have seen for some time now. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for August of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in August of 2014.

 

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing August of 2015 to that of August of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 2% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 19 more homes that were sold as of the end of August of 2015, as opposed to August of 2014. This figure is actually less than the previous month in this same category, but this still shows that the sales market locally remains fairly steady and growing to a degree, in spite of the lower percentage and numbers for this past month, as compared against that of 2014.

 

GRAPH 1 - AUGUST 2015

 

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from August of 2015, as opposed to August of 2014, we see an increase of 10% in terms of dollar volume through August of 2015, as compared to August of 2014. This category does show a continued higher percentage from year-to-year, showing that there is continued, strong growth in this category. This continues to show a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady, stable growth in terms of this category, as well, and continues to reflect the consistently higher home prices that have been taking place for over the last eighteen months now on a national scale.

 

GRAPH 2 - AUGUST 2015

 

There is also continued good news for sellers in the Average Sold Price Category. For August of 2015, as compared to that of August of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 8%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, reflecting a stronger local market in this category. As confidence continues to grow in both the local and national markets, we foresee that this relatively steady trend of higher home prices will likely continue for at least the short-term horizon, if not longer.

 

GRAPH 3 - AUGUST 2015

 

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a trend of steady decreases, which has also occurred over the last several months, as well. Through August of 2015, as opposed to August of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 10%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 466 homes in terms of available inventory, which is the largest decline in local inventory seen throughout the year to date. This is largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a gradual decline in available home inventory as a whole. This may foretell that with declining inventory, the local market is beginning to show some possible movement towards more people wanting to buy the many available properties currently on the market, and with higher home prices, more people are feeling a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market. We will continue watching to see if this particular trend continues, and see what it does for the real estate market as a whole, both here locally, as well as nationally.

As the markets continue these gradual trends of growth locally and nationally, these statistics are largely expected to remain largely steady at least for the short-term, largely continuing the same continued gradual, but steady, growth that has been seen now for over the last few months, and is largely expected to continue through the remainder of 2015. Mortgage rates still remain at historically low rates, and there are still plenty of housing options to choose from, especially in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market. Why not start your Great Smoky Mountains home search today by browsing our Featured Properties, and see what the Smokies area have to offer for you today? You can also learn more about The Jason White Team, and see how we can help you make your home ownership dreams a reality today!
