Each time someone decides to purchase a home there is an average of over 88,000 economic growth spurring from homesselling into the cities and towns where the homes are sold. In fact, in Oklahoma, around $55,000 in economic growth is added into the economy, propelling the economy in a positive direction.
According to NAR, the National Association of Realtors, they calculated the total economic impact of real estate related industries in the state economy, as well as the expenditures that result from a single home sale. This includes all aspects like home construction cost, real estate brokerage, mortgage lending, and title insurance.
The average positive economic impact of the sale of just one home in the U.S. is $88,416. In fact, home sales are going to help our economy recover as it generates income for various industries. So how does this affect us locally?
Well, let’s take a look at the Creek County housing market. The Creek County housing market is strong, but inventory is low. June housing statistics are mirroring what we’re seeing across the United States, low inventory, and high buyer demand. In Creek County, the average days on market is 32 days, down 22% from this time last year. The average sales price is down 1.6% from this time last year, but up over 6,000 from last month at $166,713.
The 105 new listings in May put the Creek County inventory at a 3.38 months supply, which is down over 42% from this time last year. And there’s more to the story. For a three to four-bedroom home priced between $80,000 and $480,000 the month’s supply of inventory is less than two months. Now, remember, a healthy housing market has a five to six month supply of homes for sale, closed sales are up 21%, and pending sales are up over 57% from this time last year.
One thing is clear, with average prices going up and the amount of inventory going down, selling your Creek County home right now could be a great choice. This all means that sellers in most cases have a lot of power. It’s a seller’s market. Buyers are having to compete, and we are seeing multiple offers going at an above asking price, especially in the lower price points between $120,000 and $270,000.
