Home Sale News - We continued to have encouraging housing news last week, starting with Existing Home Sales up 2.4% for May to a 4.77 million annual rate. This was the third month in a row of increased sales, which are now 6.2% above their January low. And the percent increase for the last two months is the largest since April 2004. The existing homes supply decreased to 9.6 months from April’s 10.1 months. The median price of an existing home INCREASED to $173,000.

Next we saw new home sales at a 342,000 annual rate for May, with the supply dropping to 10.2 months from April’s 10.4 months. New home inventories are now at 292,000, down 49% from their mid-2006 peak and at their lowest level since 2001. Sales were down slightly for the month, but still above their January low. The 111,000 new homes for sale still under construction are at their lowest level since 1970. The 135,000 completed new homes for sale are the lowest level since 2006. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported purchase loan applications UP 7.3%!

Last week we reported the housing market needs to get back to 1.6 million starts a year just to meet knock-downs and population growth. A new Harvard University report heartily agrees. It says there will be millions more echo boomers than there were boomers who first grew the housing market. The report projects household growth between 12.5 and 14.8 million in the next 10 years! The report also notes that price declines and low interest rates have brought affordability to many housing markets.

Little Elm ISD looking to get a new TAKS Title

Little Elm, West Frisco’s hidden neighbor, may have earned up to five Exemplary-rated campuses and two Recognized ones, according to preliminary TAKS results.

This would mean the district’s highest ratings since these standards were implemented several years ago. The district has nine campuses eligible for ratings.

Frisco ISD has about six times as many students as Little Elm ISD. But this tiny district is steadily increasing. And officials are banking on an Academically Recognized rating when the numbers are finalized at the end of July. 

The ISD has been one reason why so many people don’t want to move into Little Elm but stay in the Frisco ISD even though home prices are a great deal higher.  If the preliminary findings are correct this will be a huge boost for the Little Elm Real Estate Market.  Home values have really struggled in Little Elm as compared to its Frisco neighbor.  With all the road improvements to Eldorado and the New Bridge being built which will connect to Highway 35, Little Elm real estate values could skyrocket.  This little bedroom community is also only minutes from Lake Lewisville. 

For more information on the Little Elm, Frisco, West Frisco and surrounding area or on any Foreclosure call TEAM DECELL at 214-957-3210.  TEAM DECELL with REMAX Summit Realty is here to meet all your real estate needs.
