Killeen area homes sales March and April 2014

KILLEEN AREA – Home sales between March and April decreased by seven residences, which was three fewer homes than April 2013.

The 215 homes sold in April for the geographic area from Nolanville to Lampasas and Florence to Gatesville have maintained a strong 2014, according to Jose Segarra, a Fort Hood Area Association of Realtors spokesman.

Of the 215 homes sold in April, 51 of the homes were foreclosures, according to a Fort Hood Area Association of Realtors report. The number of homes going into foreclosure also decreased which is a sign of more responsible homebuyers.

Increased sales in foreclosures is one factor contributing to a lowering median home sales price, which is currently $123,000.
