Oak Cliff home prices increased in August, in contrast to weaker regional sales figures in July, according to the August 2016 North Texas housing market report released today by the MetroTex Association of REALTORS.

“August was an exceptionally busy month across North Texas,” said Russell Berry, president of MetroTex. “We’re seeing strong increases both in terms of number of sales and in dollar volume. Prices are up and maintaining enough available housing stock remains our biggest challenge.”

Dallas Oak Cliff’s monthly housing inventory was less than 2 months in August. The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University cites that 6.5 months of inventory represents a market in which supply and demand for homes is balanced.
