What Does This Data Mean?
When we look at the market trends the month’s of inventory is a key number. This number is the total number of home sales in a given month divided into the total number of active listings. In this case 570/422 = 1.5 (rounded). This means if no other listings were put on the market and the same number of homes continues to sell, it will take 1.5 months to exhaust the current inventory. A neutral market is considered 6 months of inventory. Anything less than 5 is considered a seller’s market and anything greater than 7 is considered a buyer’s market.
Arlington is Currently in a strong Seller’s Market

After coming off 4 years of record sales and prices, we are due to see a slowing of the rapid growth. Are we beginning to see a shift in the market? There are signs indicating a shifting market, however no one can really know where the exact top of the market is until we look back. If your realtor is not tracking the market, then you might miss the opportunity to obtain top dollar for your home. Now might actually be the best time to sell a home in Arlington TX. It is absolutely true that a larger number of homes sell in the summer than the fall, however there are fewer listings in the fall, so the actual percentage of homes selling in the 3rd and 4th quarters actually remains fairly constant. Another factor is, many people were recently displaced from Hurricane Harvey and are buying homes in DFW. If you’re considering selling your home in today’s market, contrary to popular belief it takes a lot more than simply placing a sign in the yard and waiting for the phone to ring.
