2016 is a record year for Smith County homes sold OR 2,539 closed as compared to 2,492 in 2015 (which was also a record year).  With homes on the market a shorter time, interest rates still low and a limited number of homes on the market – THIS IS PUSHING THE PRICE UP.  The price is 4% higher than 2015.  The median sales price is now $175,000, up from $167,500 a year ago.  STILL A GOOD TIME TO BUY OR SELL.
