The Buyer Blip is Over – Market Update

February 9, 2023 by svalada Leave a Comment

We've all seen the news headlines, we've heard the Goldman Sachs prediction that the AZ real estate market is headed toward a 2008 level "crash". The stats just don't show that.  ARE THEY LYING? A little back-story (bear with me for a moment and it will all make sense). One of my favorite college professors taught my statistics course. He would give the entire class the same set of Continue Reading

2022 Ended Where It Started

January 10, 2023 by svalada Leave a Comment

The start of the New Year tends to bring change and excitement. Our local real estate market is bucking that tradition this year. Instead, we are looking back. The price gains we saw in early 2022 have now evaporated and we are back to 2021 pricing. Not necessarily a bad thing given that many homeowners had been priced out of the market at this same time last year. Our sales volume is Continue Reading

Is it a Good Time to Buy a Home?

November 1, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

Buy now or wait! This is the question on all potential homebuyers’ minds this fall. Over the past few weeks, the mortgage interest rates have soared to a 14-year high. Excessive government spending combined with surging energy costs and rising inflation has caused many would-be homebuyers to lean toward the wait side of that argument. But is this really a bad time to purchase a new home? Maybe Continue Reading

We Officially Hit a Balanced Market

September 9, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

Stats have finally caught up to the reality of the market. As of August we have officially reached a balanced market. The Cromford Index hit 106; a balanced market is 90-110, so we are now in the upper levels of balanced. This is similar to what we experienced in 2018 and 2019 before the craziness ensued.  In August we also saw a stabilizing of the inventory. After a few months of sharp 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

Market Snapshot – March 2022

April 11, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

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

Market Snapshot – February 2022

March 9, 2022 by svalada Leave a Comment

Demand Remains High while our Inventory Remains Low NAR (National Association of Realtors) reported the lowest level of inventory (nationwide) since 1999!  Most local areas have seen a double digit year-over-year price increase as a result. However, interest rates are on the rise.  The average home currently accounts for 24% of average income.  Typically we say max housing Continue Reading
