Relatively speaking, our market is not nearly as fast as one might believe.

Houston may have garnered a well-deserved reputation for a lively, fast-moving real estate market, but there are signs that the market could be slowing down.

According to a new study by Trulia, as of April 2015, 58 percent of Houston listings are still for sale after two months on the market. That’s up considerably from 53 percent a year ago, but still below the 60 percent national average.

Here is a graph that compares Houston’s time on market with that of other metro areas:

Of course, Houston’s housing market just came off a strong March (albeit one with markedly lower home sales increases than in past months), and appraisers continue to value Houston properties strongly at closing time.

But again, those sales numbers are below where the market was performing in 2013 and 2014, and inventory remains at record lows. Could Trulia’s data be a sign that things will slow down further in 2015? We’ll be monitoring the market closely in the coming months, to find out.
