Williamson county real estate is still very active, but the market is lacking enough inventory to have any measurable increases in the number of homes sold. Prices on the other hand increased 8.6% on average compared to the same month last year, and I expect a similar performance in the next 12 months. Interest rates are still low, as is the availability of quality resale property. The prices of new construction homes are increasing almost on a monthly basis as good building lots become harder to find and construction materials are increasing 20 to 30 percent per year.
