• THE TRUTH ABOUT JULY: Why Showings are Spiking Right Now
• INVENTORY EXPLOSION: 14% More Homes, But Are Prices Dropping?
• VA BUYER ALERT: How to Win in Houston's Summer Surge

5 Key Talking Points

1. Showings are Up 3.2%: Serious buyers are out in force this July. Even with the heat, over 45,000 showings were scheduled last week alone. For North Houston sellers, this means your "window of attention" is wide open—if your home is priced right, it will be seen.
2. Listings Surged 14.6%: We have nearly 15% more homes on the market than this time last year. This is the "inventory relief" we've been waiting for. For VA buyers, more choices mean less competition on every single house and a better chance of getting your offer accepted without a bidding war.
3. Median Price Holding at $385,000: Prices aren't crashing; they are stabilizing. We saw a modest year-over-year increase, but the "frenzy" is over. For sellers in Conroe or Magnolia, your equity is safe, but your pricing strategy must be precise to compete with the new inventory.
4. Sales Volume Rose 3.5%: Despite higher rates, people are moving. Over 8,800 families closed on homes last month. This proves that the "wait and see" approach is fading. For PCS relocations, this means the market is fluid and homes are closing on time.
5. Inventory at 4 Months: We are officially in a "balanced" market (neither buyer nor seller dominated). This is the best environment for VA loans because sellers are more open to VA appraisals and repair requests than they were two years ago.
