Williamson County Homes Sales Down as Market Reacts to Low Inventory

Dwindling inventory pushes prices to new high

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 7, 2016 --- Williamson County median sales price for a single-family home once again hit an all-time high in June 2016, according to the monthly market report released today by the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®.  The median sales price rose 12.7 percent to $459,000 in June 2016 from the same period last year.

The number of homes closed in June 2016 was 545, a decrease of 13 percent as compared with June 2015, when the number of closings was 624.

 “While there still is a pent-up demand for homes and attractive interest rates, the continued lack of inventory combined with rising prices, may result in a slowing of sales as we move through the summer months,” according to David Logan, President of the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®

“Much of the current unsold inventory is in a price range above $600,000, while the current pending and closed properties are at the $460,000 price range," added Logan.

Total available residential inventory stood at 1,742 units at the end of June 2016.

“While the numbers show a 3-month supply, approximately one-third of those are already under contract, thereby leaving only a 2-month supply for potential buyers to actually consider for purchase,” said Logan. “With all-time high prices and a record low inventory in Williamson County this creates a ‘perfect storm’ for sellers. Anyone considering selling their home should take advantage of these unusual market conditions.”
