Statistics as of Friday, 3/20/2009

 

The market continues to shift.  The supply of available Single Family Detached homes  dropped an additional 2% to 38,652.  In the past month, closings stayed strong at 6087 to lower the overall supply to 6 ¼ months.  Keep in mind a balanced market is considered 6 months, which makes about 60% of our market a sellers market.

 

Additionally, pending sales have reached another new high at 12,265.  Scottsdale, another area of pendings, is under $1M so it is showing activity.  An increase of nearly 30% in pendings has been observed here in the past 3 weeks, so increased sales should be seen over the next few weeks.

 

The best markets in the Valley at the current time are Phoenix and the West Valley, at 5 ¼ months each.  Following closely is the SE Valley at 5 ¾ months.

 

Because of a shortage of realistic financing for JUMBO loans, the higher end continues to lag behind.  For $1M+, supply levels are at 4 years for Scottsdale and 5 years for PV.
