2010 Sees Upward Trend In Home Sales
As of a few months into 2010, the housing market in certain sections of Arizona, including Phoenix, is improving. As of the most recent market break down report, inventories have increased by 1%, and 7093 properties went to closing in just one month. 27,594 properties are for sale as of the March 15 report.
As the market continues to grow against 2009 results, it looks like the sales so far are significantly ahead. Houses that are pending sale are up in excess of 40% since the first part of January, which is going to translate in more completed sales in the months to follow. There were 27,594 single family detached homes on the market, as of March 15th. Based on 7,093 closings over the past month, the number of houses on the market will last for 4 months.
5,681 properties are for sale in the Phoenix area, which reflects a 1% increase over the last reported numbers. 1,629 houses have been closed upon over the last 30 days, which represents a supply that will last for approximately 3 1/2 months. Right now, the healthiest housing market is the West Valley area, which is inching out Phoenix by just a small amount. With 6,489 current active listings, Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, El Mirage, Sun City, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Youngtown, Tolleson, and Buckeye, which make up the West Valley, had closed 2118 properties, giving this area a 3 month inventory.
The Southeast Valley of Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert, Apache Junction, Queen Creek and Chandler came in third place, with 6,289 active listings for the time period and 1676 closings, putting this region at about a 3 3/4 month supply. With 4,212 active listing along with 560 homes closed, representing around a 7 1/2 month supply, the Northeast Valley, including towns and cities Scottsdale, Carefree, Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, and Paradise Valley, were unchanged.
In Scottsdale, there were 354 closings in the under $1m market and 1981 active listings, and 53 closings in the over $1m market, where there were 965 active listings. In the more than $1m arena, inventory has decreased by 4%, and in the less than $1m arena, it has gone up by 2%.
This is a desirable trend, and there are signs that the housing market in and around Phoenix will keep getting better. Home sellers, home buyers, and our neighborhoods on the whole, are enjoying a boost from this trend!
