We’ve been in a real estate buyer’s market since the recession crept up a few years ago, but the situation is starting to reverse itself. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, the median price for a home in Texas rose two percent since January 2010. Currently, the value is $139,100. However, here in Bryan-College Station, buyers are still seeing lower housing prices. In February 2010, the median price for a home in this area was $165,400. In January 2011, that figure dropped to $147,700 (the lowest since August 2009), representing a 10 percent decrease.

Bryan-College Station is a growing region with lots of activity and one of the lowest unemployment rates in Texas . It won’t be long before the trend that is occurring through most of the state will hit Bryan-College Station. There’s still time to take advantage of record low home prices while the housing market still favors the buyer.
