The residential housing market continues to mend with higher home prices, steady home sales and active builders breaking new ground at a faster pace than a year ago.

 

In Benton and Washington counties agents sold 592 homes in August, close to the 601 sold a year ago. But agents pocketed nearly 20% more money as sales volume rose to $107.118 million, compared to $90.262 million in the same month of last year, according to MountData.com.

 

Agents, brokers and lenders polled by The City Wire all rate the health of the Northwest Arkansas housing market about a 9 out of 10 through the first eight months of 2012, when comparing to last year.

 

That said, the sales activity is still a far cry from the non-sustainable records...

Despite record heat in July, agents across Northwest Arkansas say they are busy selling homes and statistics indicate the local market is healthier than it's been in years as home prices improve.

 

Through July, agents in the two-county area sold 3,512 homes, up just 1.15% with a year ago. But overall sales volume rose 9.99% to $597.71 million over last year, according to the latest report from MountData.com

 

Median home prices are up nearly 20% from a year ago in the combined Benton and Washington counties. The rising prices signal a healthier market as the supply of homes more adequately fits the demand seen from the local buyers pool, according market insiders.

Homeowners who need to sell their property but face negative equity positions got a little extra help from federal agencies this week. Local agents say this could help boost an already active short sale market higher in the coming months.

 

Short sales across Benton and Washington counties totaled 264 from Jan. 1 through Aug. 20  of this year. That was a 54% increase from 171 short sales in the same time frame of 2011, according to Vicki Briolat, agent with Crye-Leike Realtors in Bentonville.

 

Julia Valenciana, also an area agent with Crye-Leike, sees the local real estate market starting a new cycle ? tighter supplies and rising home values. But she said the market improvements of the past few months haven't been enough to help some homeowners.
