Sugar Land Real Estate Market

The Sugar Land real estate market is doing much better than the rest of the country. While the number of homes sold has dropped slightly this year--not as many homes are being bought and sold as last year--the average price on homes has increased slightly from $231,100 in 2010 to $231,400 in 2011. In fact, the average home price in our area has increased every year since 1993.

So, while it may take a little longer than it used to when selling real estate in Sugar Land Texas, your home price should be at least maintaining its value...if not slightly increasing each year. Of course this depends on many factors and cannot be guaranteed. But generally speaking, Fort Bend County (and the Houston metro area in general) does not have the huge real estate "bubbles" therefore, it does not go through huge real estate "busts."

Keep in mind that the Sugar Land real estate market is constantly changing. The way we determine the type of real estate market we're in (Buyer's market vs. Seller's market) is based on the amount of inventory (homes available for sale) currently available. Six months of inventory is considered "equilibrium"--neither a Seller's or Buyer's market. A Buyer's market is considered to be 7 months or more of inventory. This is where the demand for homes is somewhat less than the supply of homes...and where Buyers may have more "say" over house prices than Sellers. A Seller's market is considered to be 5 months or less of inventory.  This is where the demand for homes is somewhat greater than the supply of homes...and where Sellers may have more "say" over house prices than Buyers.

Fort Bend County typically remains in a Seller's market as shown below.
