Although flattening out, Houston home prices for November continue to grow year-over-year.  The average home price rose 3.7 percent from last year to $303,966 — up from $293,103 in November 2014 — while median prices jumped 3 percent year-over-year to $195,000, according to data obtained from Houston’s MLS.

Housing inventory remained consistent at 3.5 months across the city from October, but don’t be fooled into thinking that means a long and anxious wait if you’re a Seller.  The Houston market is still strong, especially when compared to the current 4.8-months supply of homes nationally.  Additionally, half of all homes in Houston sold in 23 days or less, giving new meaning to getting “home for the holidays.”
