Marry the Home, Date the Rate

August 10, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

Let's Talk Interest Rates! Interest rates have been the talk of the town.  And it's no wonder with how quickly they have risen and the daily fluctuations which could be as high as 3/4 of a point in one day.  Rates are currently hovering in the mid 5's.  That sounds shockingly high!  In reality, it's not.  Take a look at the chart below (courtesy of Eric Swenson with Nova Continue Reading

Sharpest Market Deceleration Since 1980’s – June Snapshot

July 11, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

As we head further into Summer we are seeing more than our typical seasonal slowing of the real estate market.  In fact, we are seeing the sharpest market deceleration since the 1980's!  All of this was by design, of course.  The rise in interest rates was purposeful in order to slow the market and that's exactly what it has done.   We are now seeing both an increase in Continue Reading

How Rates are Impacting the Market – April Market Snapshot

May 12, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

How are interest rates impacting the market? Probably the #1 question I am getting right now.   We did see a bit of a shift for Maricopa County as a whole in the month of April. In fact, for the first time in what feels like forever, we had an overall decrease in average sale price, dropping by $45,000 with a 67% increase in inventory.   That being said, DON'T PANIC! It is Continue Reading

Just like that, the first quarter of 2022 has flown by!  As we head into the second quarter, it should be no surprise that we are seeing double digit year-over-year price increases.  The cause of this Extreme Seller's Market remains the same: high demand with low supply.  Even with the recent interest rate increases we have an abundance of people looking to purchase homes but not Continue Reading

Buying a Home in a Tight Market

February 10, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

It is no secret that we are, and have been for quite some time, in what is considered to be a Seller's Market.  This isn't just our typical Seller's Market for Arizona; we are currently in a hard core Seller's Market the likes of which we've never seen before.  By now you've heard the woes of weary buyers who have been beaten out time and time again when making offers.  If you Continue Reading

Where Have All the Sellers Gone?

February 8, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

2022 is speeding along. Now into the second month of the year and the real estate market is still on fire. My personal observations: I’ve heard a lot of talk about buyers slowing down, but I have not seen that in action. I’m sure certain areas or neighborhoods may have had a slower month (which is normal) but overall that’s just not the case. There is still high Continue Reading
