Marilyn Thompson Houston President
As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, the health and safety of our community is our top priority. We quickly adapted to conduct business and support our clients looking to buy, sell, or rent homes by utilizing our exclusive Virtual Agent Playbook, virtual open houses, and video tours. We invite you to review a summary of sales activity in the Houston market area during the second quarter of 2020, based on closed production from April - June 2020. The Houston Association of Realtors reports the following market data for this quarter, which is compared here for the same period of 2019. Closed sales from the second quarter do not tell a complete story regarding the housing recovery in the Houston market. Heading into the third quarter, we wanted to bring your attention to additional positive indicators: • Eight continuous weeks of higher showing activity vs. same time period the year before • Extremely low mortgage rates • More signed contracts in June 2020 vs. June 2019 Like always, we are committed to providing the highest quality service and will to continue to support our clients with a suite of virtual marketing tools that are proving effective with buyers today. We hope you find this market report to be a valuable resource and we look forward to working with you to meet your real estate needs. If you have any questions about the Houston market, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of our associates at 713.520.1981.
