June, 2024 Phoenix area real estate report

 

 

The Phoenix real estate market experienced some price retraction in May despite inventory staying low. High interest rates continue to keep a lot of buyers on the sidelines as they await future reductions, although it appears that any reductions may still be a ways off. Days on the market for active listings is still well below historical averages, and homes are still selling on average for 98% of their listing price. It's reasonable to expect that no significant changes in the market, either up or down, are forthcoming in the absence of any larger economic changes. The complete, latest numbers are below.

 

The overall average home price in May compared to April decreased by 2.5%, moving from $621,591 to $606,381. The year over year increase over May 2023 was 5.6%. The average sale price as a percentage of the listing price was 98% (meaning on average homes are selling for 2% below the asking price), and the average days on the market was 62. The average price per square foot increased to $320.

 

Inventory increased to 15,509 homes for sale, and the number of homes sold decreased to 6,972. This means that there is just over a two month supply of homes on the market, which is still a seller's market.

 

The breakdown of home prices stayed relatively the same. The percentages of available homes are: $0-$250,000 (9% of the market), $250,000-$500,000 (41%), $500,000-$750,000 (25%), $750,000+ (25%). (27%).

 

Foreclosures and short sales continue to stay at their record low rates of 0.2% of the market and 0.1% respectively. They continue to be an insignificant portion of the market.
