What’s the Bottom Line?

After taking a look at the December 2021 stats, once again we are looking at a housing market with a low inventory of homes behind it. In fact, according to the Arizona MLS, inventory currently available in Arizona will run out in 0.7 months! This places sellers in the state at a huge advantage over buyers currently looking to move; and will only contribute to the rising listing and selling prices. However, this means a potential for multiple offers and the chance for new builds popping up to aid in increasing inventory! So, what do we recommend? If you are looking to purchase a home soon, it’s best to start now. And we can help!

***Please note for average days on market this number does include the days it’s “Under Contract.” The only time days on market stops is when the home is in “Pending” Status.
