2022

continues to show tight supply as we look forward to March 2022. As I write this (2/18), there are only 3,600+ homes listed as available and 625+ “coming soon” listings in our MLS system within all of Maricopa county – almost identical numbers to last month. However, in the past 30 days we have 9,500 homes under contract that have not yet closed and 6,400 closed sales over the past 30 days, an increase of 9%+ and 7% respectively from the prior month. Signs of a continued acceleration for a seller’s market with multiple offers on homes, over asking contracts and more favorable seller terms (buying as-is, waiving appraisal contingencies, more post-possession agreements offered to sellers, etc.).

For buyers not wanting to compete in this market it doesn’t look like the market conditions will be moving to buyers benefit anytime soon.

To help illustrate how strained supply impacts valuations, let’s take a look at two of our Valley’s most luxurious zip codes Paradise Valley (85253) and North Scottsdale (85255) where inventory is substantially underserved and valuations are rising. The numbers below are averages as of February 2022 with data provided by The Cromford Report:

Arizona Water Supply

Speaking of supply, what about Arizona’s water position? Here’s the good news – AZ has been preparing for growth for many decades. Here are some facts put together by Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC): • Arizona is currently below 1957 water usage levels due to increased conservation methods and the decrease in water used for agriculture.

• Arizona has five times (5x) more water stored than we use and has never mandated municipal or residential restrictions on uses throughout our state’s history.

• On Monday, Aug. 16, 2021, U.S. officials declared the first-ever water shortage from the Colorado River that will cause Arizona to take an 18% cut starting in 2022. This will not impact municipal or residential uses. o Arizona has the junior water position along the Colorado River and that’s been the case since 1968 when the Central Arizona Project was authorized. Because of our long-standing position, we have been prepared for decades and implemented long-term planning and solutions.

• Only 36% of Arizona’s water supply is provided by the Colorado River; Nevada is 100% reliant, its California’s predominant water supply at 60% and makes up 30-40% of Colorado’s.

• Arizona has 13.2 million acre-feet of water stored in reservoirs as well as underground, with 7.1 million acrefeet of that total stored in Greater Phoenix. Because of the infrastructure in place, we can pull and replace water as needed, making our water supply more resilient during times of drought.

• It’s our cornerstone and what separates us from other Mountain West states.

• California has limited groundwater management infrastructure in place compared to Arizona.

• 93% of the water that enters the Greater Phoenix waste stream can be reclaimed and treated for potable use and this is a huge differentiator for us. o Arizona is a national leader when it comes to the reuse of water. California sends more water back to the Pacific Ocean each year than the City of Phoenix uses in total.

Looking to the Future:

The demand side is not insurmountable, but ongoing investment in infrastructure to ensure the availability of natural resources including water is paramount in relation to Greater Phoenix’s ability to attract continued investment from semiconductor and advanced manufacturing firms.

• SRP is working with the Department of Reclamation to modify Bartlett Dam to increase storage capacity to 100,000 acre-feet for utilization, which will service nearly 100,000 people.

• Currently, Roosevelt Dam can capture 3.4 million acre-feet of water, but not all of it is available for use. SRP is working with partners to be able to produce 300,000 acre-feet of water for utilization.
