(HAR Report): According to the latest monthly Market Update from the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR), 6,671 single-family homes sold in May compared to 8,359 a year earlier. That translated to a 20.2 percent decline – the second consecutive monthly decline since the pandemic struck the market. The lower sales volume, particularly among high-end homes, took a toll on average sales price numbers, however strong demand in the mid-priced market kept the median price of homes statistically flat. The single-family home average price dropped 7.4 percent to $298,199 while the median price dipped just0.4 percent to $249,000. The last time home prices saw declines was in January 2018.
