​​​VICTORIA – The market continues to show modest improvement from a year ago. Number of houses sold is up 10 percent from the first four months a year ago, according to Lee Swearingen​, president of ​Coldwell Banker The Ron Brown Company. 

It is a direct result of an increase in the number of homes available for sale below $250,000, said Swearingen.

There also seems to be a stabilization of the economy even though it is below what the area was accustomed to a few years ago.

The upper end of the housing market remains slow—reflected in the slight downturn of the median and average prices.

Swearingen's conclusion is Victoria has an active market. It just seems to be focused in the mid-to lower-price ranges.

The average sales price for residential homes was $182,687 for the twelve months ending April 2017, down 4.3 percent versus the same period ending April 2016 when it was $190,934.

The median price of residential homes for the twelve months ending April 2017 was $167,000, down 1.7 percent versus the same period 2016, when it was $169,900.​
