Based on the numbers in the Housing Report, 28.2% of the listings reported in the MLS were new construction. Furthermore, the numbers demonstrate that the new home construction market in Williamson County is a different type of market than the resale market.
Furthermore, the new construction market is showing a median price of $323,499, 26.7% more than the median price for existing homes sales ($255,000) in January. Currently, there are 944 active new construction listings reported across Williamson County, compared to 765 existing home listings.
Williamson County’s monthly housing inventory is increasing (when compared year-over-year). In February, Williamson County had a total of 2.0 months of inventory and an 6.5% increase of listings compared to last January. Based on these numbers, Williamson County is still in a strong seller’s market; the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University cites that 6.5 months of inventory represents a market in which supply and demand for homes is balanced. Even though the number of listings and the total days on market have increased, it has not greatly affected the market conditions.
During February, existing homes spent an average of 55 days on the market, as compared to a new construction home which averaged 109 days on the market.
