August stats are out! More properties sold than a year ago, particularly in Erath County, while prices remained relatively stable. Buyers still have choices, but inventory has tightened somewhat compared with last year.
For sellers, the numbers suggest buyers are out there and purchasing but price point matters. The strongest activity is occurring below $300,000, and Erath County's longer days on market reinforces the importance of pricing correctly from the beginning.
For buyers, there is still enough inventory to shop and compare, particularly above the most active price ranges. But declining inventory and increasing sales activity mean desirable, well-priced homes may face more competition.
