City of Phoenix Real Estate Market Report
An In-Depth Look at the Phoenix All Property Types Market
In a deeper examination of the Phoenix real estate market, several key trends emerge from current metrics compared to historical data.
Initially, the number of active listings has climbed notably over the past month to 6,263, which is a 25% increase from the 5,010 active listings just three months ago. This influx may suggest more options for buyers, reflecting growing confidence among sellers to list their properties as market conditions stabilize.
The Days on Market (DOM) measure is currently at 87 days. This figure is lower than the 112 days from three months ago, indicating that properties are selling at a faster pace compared to earlier in the year. However, it still signals a market that allows buyers some breathing room compared to the rapid sales observed at the height of the previous year.
Moreover, looking at the average sold price, we see it is currently hovering around $547,639. That's a noticeable decrease from $578,368 recorded three months prior, suggesting that sellers may be more willing to negotiate, possibly in response to the increased competition from a larger number of active listings.
Additionally, months of inventory is currently at 5.0 months. This metric represents a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold the dominant position, allowing for reasonable negotiations. Historically, this figure shows consistency; it was 5.1 months three months ago, indicating a slight but stabilized market equilibrium.
In terms of average price per square foot, active listings reflect an average of $312, moving up from $304 three months ago, supporting the overall price adjustments for homes in the area.
Overall, while the market exhibits some fluctuations, the increase in inventory appears to be meeting sustained demand, as indicated by a stable DOM and purchased homes at competitive prices. For both buyers and sellers, this environment necessitates strategic planning—buyers might want to act efficiently given the increasing active inventory, while sellers must price their homes wisely to attract potential offers amidst rising competition.
