The supply or amount of homes available for sale is still very low but creeping up to a 2.2 month supply. At our low in August, we were at a 1.9 month supply. Compare that to March when we had a 5.3 month supply and you can see the drastic reduction in the available homes for sale.

Current Mortgage Rates

The current mortgage rates have held steady over the last month per Mortgage News Daily. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage currently sits around 3.91%. These rates have been fluctuating a little bit over the past few months.

For the curious, here is a quick calculation that shows your monthly principal and interest payment. If you were to borrow $250,000 at 4%. your monthly payment would be $1193.54. Keep in mind that this is just principal and interest. It does not take into account any other homeowner costs.

FishHawk Ranch Real Estate Market Analysis and Outlook October 2015

As mentioned in previous months the FishHawk Ranch real estate market is starting to show signs of the lack of homes for sale and the lack of correctly priced homes to sell. We currently have just over a 2 month supply of homes available to sell. In a healthy real estate market, we like to be between a 6 to 8 month supply of homes. We only closed 22 homes in October and the number of Pending homes for sale went from 78 in June to 29 currently. That means that most of the homes that closed were already under contract and not a lot of new ones were added. Even though we do not have a lot of homes for sale buyers have been reluctant to overpay for the homes. It will be interesting to see how the holiday season will impact sales this year. Typically it is a slow time of year for real estate.
