Homes Sold

9 homes sold in Midtown Houston in the month of November, 3 detached homes and 6 townhome/condos.  This is down from last November, which saw 21 total sales.  Midtown tends to be very popular with first time home buyers, so the first time home buyer credit, which expired in April 2010, helped to push up some demand for new home buyers.  Furthermore, last November numbers were inflated by the original First-time home buyer credit expiration, which was set to expire at the end of November 2009.

There are 86 properties currently on the market, 17 detached homes and 69 townhomes/condos.  In the past 30 days, 20 of the 86 listings are new listings and 19 of the sellers have reduced their price.
