With the majority of news on the national real estate market remaining gloomy, one are in particular has bucked this trend. That is Conroe Texas, where building permits have actually doubled over the past three years. While property sales have suffered some measure of decline in recent months compared to recent years, this extraordinary rate of expansion has allowed the Conroe real estate market to absorb it and allow for property values to continue to increase across the board.
Poised for Another Market Boom
In fact, recent figures that were made available show that the median price of a single family home in Conroe rose a full 5.6% over the same month in 2007. This brought the median price on these homes up from $195,148, to $206,140. With economist now predicting a possible turn around in the national economy beginning the first of the year, post presidential elections, it would appear that the city of Conroe Texas is poised for another real estate boom.
Deals on Distressed Properties
This means that now may be the time to buy. In fact, independent speculators and property investors are buying up distressed properties in the greater Conroe area almost as fast as they are appearing on the market. Many of these entrepreneurs are finding that with a small investment and some strategic improvements they are able to turn a handy profit in the still active and viable Conroe real estate market.
Tighter Credit Requirements
Credit is harder to come by now and the times are past when a distressed property can be flipped as is, without any work having been done on it. This means that if you are in the market for a distressed property in the Conroe area, it is imperative that your credit be good to secure a loan and that you must be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do some work on the home prior to putting it back on the market for resale.
