Market Update
We’ve made it to that time of year where the mornings are cool and the afternoons require a few less layers - which means that Spring is on its way and we’ve officially hit the beginning of our peak selling season in Arizona. With just 5500 homes on the market as compared to the more than 25,000 we’d need to be in a balanced market, we can expect another banner year for home sales. Price per square foot has already risen nearly 4% since the beginning of the year and we’ve still got another 4 months to go until the heat starts to impact our open house activity.
Local homes have more than doubled in price in the last 5 years meaning that most homeowners have a significant amount of equity tied up in their home. With options to leverage that gain, homeowners are completing projects while others are building rental portfolios, and still others are putting money away for college.

Interest rates are up about a 1/2 percent since the beginning of the year and likely will top 4% by the end of the year making now a great time to investigate your options. While not expected, even if the market turned around very suddenly as it did in 2005, we would anticipate a long delay before prices stabilized, probably at least 12 months and more likely 15. This means anyone waiting for a drop in prices is likely to be waiting until the second half of next year (2023) at the earliest - and this is a worst case scenario, which is by no means likely. Much more likely is that prices continue to rise for at least 2 more years meaning if buying, selling, refinancing, or leveraging equity solves a problem like location, property size, safety or mobility, school district, or condition - or provides a financial gain that unlocks savings, credit repair, or the opportunity to build generational wealth - it’s a great time to explore your options.
