Condominium and townhome sales slowed in Texas’s major metro areas in the first half of 2015, 根据 2015 Texas Condominium Mid-Year Sales Report. Released today by the Texas REALTORS®, the report shows that condominium (condo) and townhome sales in Texas’s four major markets remained relatively consistent with condo sales in the first half of 2014.

根据报告, 奥斯丁, 达拉斯, 休斯顿, 和圣安东尼奥 experienced an average 1% decrease in condo sales between January and May 2015. While 达拉斯 和圣安东尼奥 posted small annual gains of 3% and 6%, 分别, condo sales decreased 1% year-over-year in 休斯顿 and 12% year-over-year in 奥斯丁 in the first half of the year.

斯科特Kesner, 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人协会主席, explained: “的 rapid pace of Texas’s housing market growth has slowed in the last year, and that includes the condominium and townhome market. 然而, the demand for condos remains strong, as condos continue to spend less time on the market and sell at higher prices. 更高的价格, 然而, could be impacting some Texas homebuyers’ ability to afford condos, especially in our state’s metro areas.”

Condos showed consistent gains in median price in three of the four metro areas in the first half of 2015, 除了休斯顿, which was unchanged in median price compared to the first half of 2014. While still priced considerably less overall than single-family homes, the price-per-square-foot is significantly higher for condos and townhomes versus single-family homes.

吉姆·盖恩斯博士.D., economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&米大学, explained: “的 land and development costs for condominiums in Texas’s metro areas are so high that new condos being built today are priced outside of an affordable price range for many first-time homebuyers and buyers with lower household incomes. 现有的公寓, 相比之下, are priced significantly less than new condos and therefore have a much higher demand and tighter inventory. In several of Texas’s metro areas, existing condos and townhomes are driving sales in that segment of the housing market.”
