When you were searching for homes in Houston, maybe you didn’t realize that you were viewing a limited number of listings on nationally-know web sites like Google, Zillow, or Yahoo, but a recent survey suggests just that. The WAV group studied “advertising web sites” and found that many lacked the most up-to-date listing information, with some sites missing between 31% and 64% of the listings, according to their survey results as reported in TexasRealtor Magazine.

September 2008: Home sales down dramatically as Houston recovers from Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike’s impact on local housing sales was dramatic — power outages and property damages forced the postponement of real estate closings across the area. Houston’s residential real estate housing market sales were down significantly in September 2008 with a year-to-year sales decline of 29.5% — the lowest September sales volume in years. Nationally, sales for existing homes were up 5.57% in September.

Markets across the US experienced home price declines of up to 20% or more, while Houston’s median home price for existing single-family housing made modest gains throughout the current year. In September, the median price increased again — jumping 5% in year-to-year comparisons from $150,000 to $157,500. For the US market, the median home price declined 9.0% from $210,500 to $191,600 in year-to-year comparisons.
