Located in the center of Hardin County, just fifteen miles north of Beaumont you'll find Silsbee, Texas.  Its a quaint, small town often thought of as the car sales capital of Southeast Texas because of the number of car dealerships.  Its also a town where your dollar will still buy you a good home for your money.   

So far this year twenty homes have changed owners as recorded in the Beaumont MLS.  The lowest price sale went for an unbelievable $15,000.  It was on the market on 3rd Street for about 4 months. 

Here's a few other interesting market statistics from the home sales in Silsbee this year:

• Best deal contender! Someone bought a foreclosure on Harrison for 40% of the asking price.  It was on the market for $62,000 and sold for $25,000.  Even if it needed a lot of work that was probably a pretty good buy.

• Best seller deal!  Five homeowners were able to get 100% of their asking price.

• The homes that sold for 100% of their asking price averaged less than two months on the market.

• $500,000 was the highest sale.

• 80 days was the average number of days all of the sold homes stayed on the market.  That's a little less than Beaumont's average days on the market which is closer to 110. 

• 94% of asking price is the average sold price that sellers received.  That's even figuring in the one that sold for 40% of its list price. 

• 246 days was the longest time any of these homes spent on the market.

• $2,463,000 plus is the dollar volume of residential home sales in Silsbee so far this year.
