July 29-30, 2023
Welcome back Weekend Warriors! The summer is officially coming to a close with many of our kiddos back in school this week, calendars have been full of "Meet the Teacher" nights, supply shopping, uniform hemming, and getting those Summer Warriors back into a good bedtime routine. As the temperatures have continued to hit those high, high records - our local real estate market has started to pick up momentum with a sprinkling of new listings coming to market including a few that we've got in some of our favorite East Valley neighborhoods! Check out our top picks for fun family activities that you can do on the weekend or after school, find out where you can meet our agents this weekend at their Open Houses, and check out some of the really great events we've got coming up. Stay frosty, friends - it looks like no one told Summer we've moved inside and back to school!
Market Update
We're back with your weekly market update and WOW, what a difference a year makes in the Arizona real estate market. There’s been a lot going with home prices taking a dip last Summer and steadily increasing again since December, we went from having more than 17,000 houses on the market a year ago to less than 11,000 today, and average days on market have gone from 3 to 8 weeks meaning that if you are just getting back into the market after holding your breath for a bit - things are going to look a little different and frankly a whole lot better than the last time you dipped your toe in the market. Prices are pretty close to where they were last year at this time so if you are a buyer, I promise - you didn’t miss out on a thing. And if you are a seller - you’ve got way less competition than you had if you were trying to house hop last July - that's why our new listings keep on selling the first weekend on the market! And how about that new construction? Man, what a turn around that part of our market has made. If you haven’t considered new construction - I would definitely start checking it out….with a real estate agent. Many people think they can get a discount on the price if they don’t take an agent with them, or don’t really understand what an agent can do for them at all - the truth of the matter is that the best agents in the industry right now are working side by side with the builders to get their best inventory, at the best price, and bring it to you. We have never seen such a massive gap between the pace of the new construction and the resale market - which sounds like opportunity to me!
Listen in as we talk about unlocking inventory this month and don't miss our Gilbert Sun News article for more on our take. Want more market news?
