Here is the most recent Phoenix AZ Real Estate Housing Market Report for June 2021:  The average sales price of Phoenix homes increased over $5,500 in June, reaching another new all-time high of $509,398. At the same time, the average sold price per square foot increased from $250/sf to $257/sf in June. After dropping for three straight months, days on market for Phoenix homes in June remained the same as in May, at the record low of 23 DOM.  Phoenix home sales jumped to 1,686 in June from 1,595 last month, and sales are 2.8% higher than in June of 2020. The reason 2021 sales are so similar to 2020 sales for June is because even though COVID-19 started shutting down our economy in March of 2020, June is when the Phoenix housing market opened up and rebounded (from 1,241 sales in May to... 07/15/2021

The June home sales activity in the Phoenix Metro Area priced from $1 million to $1.5 million reflect !   During the month of June, 10,212 homes sold in all of Maricopa and parts of Pinal County.  Of that number, 6% sold over $1 million The Active Listings for July 3rd, 2021 reflect  297 homes for sale in all of Maricopa County, and parts of Pinal County, priced from $1 - $1.5 million.  Currently there are 297 homes for sale, much less than previous years and down from the beginning of the year.  Inventory has ticked upward after a drop in the beginning of February, 2021. Inventory has dropped and so have the number of days it takes to sell a home.  If nothing were listed for sale in this price range, all of this inventory would sell in 42 days.   As you can see the days on market has l... 07/08/2021

Here is the most recent Phoenix AZ Real Estate Housing Market Report for May 2021:  The average sales price of Phoenix homes increased over $9,000 in May, reaching a new all-time high of $503,819. At the same time, the average sold price per square foot increased from $245/sf to $250/sf in May. Days on market for Phoenix homes went down for the third straight month to a new all-time low of 23 DOM.  Phoenix home sales barely increased in May from 1,589 to 1,595, but they are 28.5% higher than in May of 2020. This is mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down the economy last March and continuing throughout last year. Phoenix home sales are still lagging behind pre-pandemic numbers, but I think the lack of inventory is impacting sales more than anything else. The number of new lis... 06/18/2021

Financial experts have long considered as the best amount to bring for a down payment as twenty percent. However as more Millennials are planing to buy a home in the Phoenix real estate market, many are burdened with student loan debt and others slowly recovering from the shutdowns to save enough funds to pay 20 percent of the agreed sales price of a home can feel as an impossible plan.So, are first-time homebuyers in Phoenix truly coming up with that popular 20 percent? Actually, it varies on who you ask. Some agents in the Valley of the Sun say all of their first-time buyers have come in with 20 percent of the sales price. Many mortgage experts have a bit of a different experience.  Many claim that half of their borrowers have the means to come in with a 20 percent down payment. The o... 03/15/2021

Housing markets across the country are seeing the same phenomenon, low inventory, rising prices and buyer demand exceeding available supply of housing.  Cromford Reports are used to reference all sales activity for all of Maricopa County, which is about a 500 square mile area, which we'll call the Phoenix Metro Area.  Active supply of homes has dropped 66% year over year for March 14 for all price ranges.  Buyers have risen to the occasion with low interest rates and record low inventory has produced multiple offers in days for homes, condos, townhomes and mobile homes.  To the delight of many, inventory ticked up slightly by about 200 listings in the last few days.To compare by price range, this chart clearly shows the decline of affordable homes in the Phoenix Metro Area.  Surprisingl... 03/14/2021

Recently, I read a well deserved featured post "Could you do me a favor if you're able?"  This well written, succinct post written by Dana Hollish Hill, Bethesda, Maryland, is asking agents to please use the features within their MLS to display homes that are potentially wheelchair assessible, among other needed features. Spot on!  That's a huge issue with almost any niche type of search in any MLS.  When those features aren't available, the search takes MUCH longer, making it difficult to find the right homes for those deserving the features. Be dilligent when listing homes for sale.  Make sure to look for every feature, not just how many bedrooms and bathrooms exist.  Noticing every feature will put more eyes on your listing and that visibility just might help it sell faster. Finding ... 03/12/2021

Here's The Greater Phoenix Area Real Estate Market Snapshot For February 2021!We're back with another look at the Greater Phoenix Area Real Estate Market, this time with residential data for the month of February 2021. While new listings increased slightly with 8,074 new homes for sale entering the market the past month, it's 6.3% lower compared to the same time last year. Active listings continued to be low with a 8.7% drop from the 8,088 inventory in January 2021 to the 7,379 homes for sale in February 2021. And yes, you have the right idea in mind- monthly sales continue to rise with February 2021 posting 7,250 home sold. That's a 9.4% increase from the prior month's 6,623 homes sold and 5.3% higher from the 6,884 properties that changed hands the same month in 2020. A noteworthy per... 03/08/2021

Across the US the consensus is low housing inventory, rising sales, and more buyers than sellers.  And it's not just housing sales.  The housing rental market is also constrained.  Homes for rent are far and few between so tenants with low credit scores and challenges on their credit history can challenge a tenant in finding an accepting landlord. So how long is this sustainable?  How long before the number of buyers equals the number of sellers?  Part of that answer lies in the mortgage interest rates charged for loans.  If interest rates rise, some buyers may be priced out of the market, as mortage payments increase.  Rising prices have eliminated some buyers already, but when rates dipped into the 2% range, the number of refinances and buyes escalated.  Another part of that answer is... 03/03/2021

The Cromford Report: Inventory Remains Low While Median Sales Price & Luxury Sales Are Up!Rent or buy? The age old question remains but perhaps current circumstances make it easier to make a decision favoring purchasing over renting a home. Both the median sales price and monthly rental rate went up by 18% but when you consider that a 1,500-2,000 sqft home rents at a monthly median of $1,850 (a $250 increase from last year) versus roughly $1,600-$1,700 per month to purchase with 10% down for the same property (backed by a historically low 30-year fixed mortgage rate), buying becomes the all the more attractive option. However, between steadily declining home affordability and a housing shortage in the Greater Phoenix area, buying now than later becomes all the more sensible. Inventory r... 02/15/2021

Take A Look At How The January 2021 Greater Phoenix Real Estate Market Compares To January 2020!For the past few years, we've been taking a look how the Greater Phoenix Area Real Estate Market fared month after month, mostly comparing the month that ended with the month prior and lightly touching on the same time the previous year. This time we shift focus by comparing January 2021 with how things were back in January 2020 so we have an idea how much have changed in the span of 12 months. And where to kick off best than with active listings. To highlight the low inventory we've been enjoying for quite some time now, January 2020 had 12,771 properties for sale whereas January 2021 registered only 8,088 active listings. That's nearly four thousand less homes to choose from for buyers last... 02/11/2021

The Phoenix housing market, like a lot of other markets around the country, is experiencing a serious inventory shortage and increasing sales.  Both of these are putting extreme strain on the housing market.Buyers should have considerable downpayments and cash is better.  Provide favorable terms to a seller to compete with others.  Ask the listing agent in advance what terms and closing date are acceptable to a seller.  Asking for a home warranty plan in a purchase offer is a negative to the seller, reducing their net proceeds.  Work to provide the best offer to a seller to be competitive. The following reports are provided via subscription to the Cromford Report. Copying these reports is copyright infringement. Year over year, week 6, active listings have dropped by 58%!  Active listin... 02/08/2021

Phoenix and East Valley Arizona Housing Outlook for 2021 Even though 40 million people were unemployed, we had an international pandemic for most of the year, and businesses were shutting down left and right, the housing market in Arizona was HOT, HOT, HOT throughout 2020. Extremely low inventory of homes for sale and record-low mortgage rates contributed to the frenzy, as well as the increase in the number of relocations made possible by remote working. Home prices continued to increase like never before, reaching new boundaries, while buyer demand also continued to surge throughout last year. Now that we can finally wave goodbye to 2020, here's a glimpse of what we might expect for the Phoenix and East Valley housing market in 2021. >>Click Here To Read The Entire Article<<  >>Click H... 02/08/2021
