Here you will find information about homeownership, tips for buying or selling a house. I am a REALTOR® utilizing my two decades in public relations and marketing including as former Communications Director of the Arkansas REALTORS® Association. As Communications Director at the ARA, I wrote numerous articles on behalf of the Association offering ideas and advice to potential buyers, sellers and homeowners based on my work with REALTORS®, research and personal experience.
According to a news release distributed by the Arkansas Realtors Association today, Arkansas Realtors® had a "generally positive May and June." According to the report, the number of homes sold in Arkansas in May increased by 7 percent over a year ago while the average price of those homes sold rose by 13 percent. In June the number of homes sold in Arkansas rose by less than 1 percent over a year ago and the average price of those homes rose by over 8 percent. The average price of the homes sold in the 43 county area surveyed by the Association increased from $138,403 in May 2011 to $157,362 in May 2012 $148,052 in June 2011 to $160,980 in June 2012.
Here are links to pdf versions of the May and June reports. In our humble opinion, these reports are great news for sellers and for Arkansas home owners as a whole. Statewide all numbers are up, up, up and that is fantastic news heading in the typically slower fall and winter seasons.
