Richardson, TX Residential Sales Activity Report for November

Sales were down in Richardson by 39%. This decline is not due to a lessening in demand but because there is such a huge shortage of properties for sale, buyers just can not find anything to buy. Every day I get emails from buyer’s agents wanting to know if I have anything coming up.
The average sales price was up by 10% while the median sales price increased by 12%. Pending Sales were down by 34%. Again due to the shortage of properties. The number of new listings shrank by 22% and the new listings dropped by 15%. The months of inventory stands at 1.1 months.
