May 12, 2015 – DALLAS – The MetroTex Association of Realtors today released Keller home sales figures for the month of April. MetroTex President Steve Habgood acknowledged Keller’s continued demand for more housing inventory.

“Homeowners in Keller on average can expect strong sale prices to continue as the number of available homes in the area is low and there are a lot of active buyers in the market,” said Habgood. “The housing inventory in Keller is estimated to be at two months.”

Less than six months inventory is considered to be a sellers’ market by the industry.

Other highlights of the MetroTex report include:

• The average April sales price in Keller was $401,168, an increase of 21% over the same time last year.
• Average Days on Market was 49.
• The number of available homes on the market in April was 165, compared to 182 in April 2014.
• The average price per square foot in Keller increased from $112 in April 2014 to $127 in April 2015, reflecting a 13% increase.
• The number of home sales remained flat at 77 sales in April.

“Keller is part of the nation’s most active housing market, and sellers are finding that they are getting very close to asking price when they align with current market data,” said Habgood. “In Keller, homes listed with a REALTOR® are fetching 98% of asking price on average.”

MLS data provided in the report was gathered from North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. (NTREIS).
