League City Texas Real Estate – Cedar Landing Neighborhood Statistics

Cedar Landing in League City has 366 single family homes with an average sales price this first quarter of 2009 of $174,450.  Now that’s only 2 homes sold as compared to 6 homes last year this time.  It’s difficult to compare the two years with such small numbers.   

As of today there are 7 homes in pending in the Cedar Landing subdivision so my guess is that the second quarter of 2009 stands to be a good one for this neighborhood.  Those pending sales range from $130,000 to $202,500.   

NOTE:  These are “list” prices.  Actual sales prices are not revealed until the properties in Cedar Landing are closed.  If recent statistics hold out however we should see an average sale of 96 to 97% of the list price.  We’ll see. 

The average size of a Cedar Landing home is a little less than 2,200 square feet. 

Cedar Landing homes were built from 1999 to 2004 by Gehan Homes, KB Homes and US Homes.  The square footages available of homes in Cedar Landing vary widely with the smallest being a 3 bedroom, 2 bath at 1,639 square feet and the largest a 3,700 foot with 5 bedrooms, 3 and one half baths.  Lot sizes range from 6,300 feet to about 8,500 with a handful of lots up to 12,290. 

Turnover seems to be higher than many of the Clear Lake neighborhoods with an average turnover in the last 3 years of 7.3%; meaning that 7 homes out of every 100 sell in a year.  Brookwood homes in Clear Lake for example has a turnover of less than 4%.   

Comparable homes for sale in Claremont just down the road have an average turnover of 8.3%.  

League City is the second highest selling zip code in the Houston metropolitan area so far this year according to the folks at RealEstateStatistics.com.  Pretty unbelievable.

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Brookwood Subdivision Neighborhood Statistics

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Brookwood Subdivision Neighborhood Statistics

 

Brookwood in Clear Lake has 904 single family homes with an average sales price this first quarter of 2009 of $259,400.  The average dollar per square foot is down slightly this year by $1.85 representing a 2% drop.  Bear in mind this reflects only a 3 month time span.

 

Also the average home sold in Brookwood was 3,004 square feet as compared to 2,943 last year.  Smaller homes typically sell for more in terms of dollar per square foot.  I did not factor in one or two story for either year. This could have a pronounced effect as well.

 

	# Homes	Avg Sales	Avg Days	Avg Price	% Change
	Sold	Price	On Market	Per Ft.
Q1 of 2008	4	$259,575.00	95	$      88.20
Q1 of 2009	5	$259,400.00	59	$86.35	N/A

 

The homes in the  Brookwood subdivision were built by Perry Homes, David Weekley Homes and Village Builders.  The average lot size is just right at 10,000 feet with the average home built there of 3,000 feet.   Homes range from 3 bedrooms and 2 baths to larger 5 bedrooms and 3 and one half baths.

 

Brookwood homes typically have either a 2 car garage or in some cases a 3.  It’s not uncommon to find extended garages there as well.  Some with 5 or 10’ extensions.  One of the big attractions to Brookwood is the woodedness of the community.  Is that a word?  It’s got trees, alright?!  Seriously though, our area is lacking in trees.  Seems you have to go to Kingwood or the Woodlands to find those.

 

Homes were built from 1988 to 1994.  

This information is straight out of the Houston MLS.  Also keep in mind that 3 months is a short period of time. 

Families really tend to stay in their Brookwood Homes longer than normal.  The average for Clear Lake is around 6.5% meaning six out of every 100 homes are sold each year. Brookwood homeowners stay even longer.  Over the last 3 years, the average turn has been 3.7%.

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Bay Knoll Statistics

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Bay Knoll Subdivision Neighborhood Statistics 

Bay Knoll in Clear Lake has 660 single family homes built from 1986 to 1989 with an average sales price of $181,633 this first quarter of 2009.  Built by four builders, Ryland Homes, Village Builders, Weekly Homes and Brighton, these homes range from about 2,000 feet to over 3,000.<p>

 

 

	# Homes	Avg Sales	Avg Days	Avg Price	% Change
	Sold	Price	On Market	Per Ft.
Q1 of 2008	4	$180,156.00	25	$      71.38
Q1 of 2009	3	$181,633.00	36	$      74.92	4.9%

 

Looking at the figures, it’s easy to think that my calculations are off since the average sales prices are extremely are less than 1% different.  The reason for the higher dollar per foot prices in 2009 stems mainly from smaller homes being sold during that time frame.  The average square footage of homes sold in 2009 was 2,394 compared to 2,524 that same time last year.

This information is straight out of the Houston MLS.  Also keep in mind that 3 months is a short period of time.

One of the statistics we’ve heard for years is that people tend to move every 5-7 years. Not in Clear Lake!  Realtors in other parts of the country have reported 15-20% turnover in their communities.  We Texans (there I gave it away, yes I was born and raised right here in Houston) tend to stay in our homes a very long time.

Families really tend to stay in their Bay Knoll homes longer than normal. The average turnover for Clear Lake real estate is about 6.5% meaning that six out of every 100 homes are sold each year. Bay Knoll homeowners stay even longer; less than 4% of the homes in Bay Knoll sell each year.

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Bay Glen Subdivision

Clear Lake Texas Real Estate – Bay Glen Neighborhood

There seems to be a lot of speculation going on about real estate prices right now and it’s important to remember- real estate markets are local. It is easy to get caught up in what the media would have you to believe and that is, all real estate is in proverbial toilet. We’ve got the national economy, the local one and hurricane Ike thrown in for good measure.

I’m looking for a GREAT deal!
