Currently from what I can find-\nLand is going from $35000 to 98000 - while homes there are going for 270,000 for a 2,872 home to 645,000 for a 6,873 sq foot home.  You can contact the sales dept for that subdivision at 281-344-8237

As I look in my crystal ball I see that BMHC (Building Materials) is in a down trend , and in the high $20s.  Our economy, and this sector, is highly dependent on building/home construction.  Presently, with rising interest rates and lower home sales guidance,  I predict BMHC will end the year in the area of $16 -$19.

We just sold a condo for over that amount and bought a house for twice that. You're going to have a hard time finding any house/condo/townhouse in that price range.

http://www.zillow.com/\n\nThis is not the most accurate site for current values, but it should show trends.\n\nYou have to pick a house first.  (Any house in any area) Then look for the "Zestimate" data.

If it went up for sale in 2006 then it was built in 2006.  Condition, style, and location are more important than the age of your home.  Homes don't depreciate over time like cars do, quite the opposite in fact.

Start by looking at the website for the American Homebuilders Association.  Google "housing industry history".  Ask your local reference librarian for help too - the web is not always the most efficient source for information.

The answer, with a few exceptions, is always "yesterday".  Prices have fallen a bit after a long runup, but will no doubt rise again in the future -- but there is no way to tell just when.  Start your shopping by looking at properties via a website such as realtor.com.

There is no "standard", just what the market will bear.\n\nBut I just heard a figure you may find interesting.  There was a survey done recently by real estate people and the average monthly rent increase is expected to be 5.3%, about double what the average increase was last year.\n\nReason given is that interests rates are rising so home purchases are slowing.  More people are staying in apartments so demand is up.  Supply is also down as many apartments are being converted to condos.\n\nSounds like you did pretty well.

Well, I put "historical prices" into a search engine and got plenty.  There's one at the link below?\n\nAre you interested in particular countries or time periods?  Or particular commodities?

Really depends on what you are able to purchase.  I moved to Florida two years ago and worked in purchasing for a home builder.  Home prices went up in retail price over 80 per cent in during that time while costs were only up 30-35 per cent.  BTW, this was greater Orlando.\n\nOne used to be able to sell your home up north, make a nice 100K profit and come to Florida a spend your 100K on a really, really nice home.  Those days are gone.  New construction average home prices in greater Orlando are about $160 a square foot.  Meaning that a 2000 square foot house will run you about $320,000.

In 2005, around 8.4M new and existing homes were sold.  2006 is expected to come in around 7.5M.\n\nHome loans will be higher than this number but results are typically reported on $ volume Vs. number.  With refinancing and home equity loans the quantity is likely close to 2X home sales.

I live in a suburban area in a 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom house with a garden, pool and maidsquarters. We have just renovated our house making it alot more modern and added on a cottage for my grandaprents. It is alot nicer than it was. Most of the houses in my area are modern and nice. They aren't that cheap either.
