Arizona Housing market:
Is it really safe to sell your home right now.
The pandemic might have caused a real estate slump early last year, with fewer active listings, but the market bounced back like never before. The Arizona market is now hotter than this time last year, scoring a 76 out of 100 on Redfin’s competitive scale. It is leaning heavily on being a sellers’ market. That means that people on the market are paying well above the median listing price. As such, the market is favouring sellers more. But even so, with the pandemic still lingering, sellers are wondering whether it’s a good time to list their homes. Let’s look at the trends. DEMAND. A common fear among home sellers is the fear that 4
l
their homes could stay on the market for months. It might put you to ease that the Arizona housing market is very competitive. Houses are, therefore, flying off the shelf. An average home in Arizona is spending a mere 22 days on the market. That is a big leap from last year’s 41 days. And according to Redfin.com, the most desirable homes are spending less time on the market, that is, six days only. This demand should remain steady as more and more millennials peak and reach thirty. At age thirty, most people need to set roots and buy a home. And as we speak, a great number of real estate transactions are being made by millennials. So yes, the demand for housing is there for the next three years. HOME PRICES. Another significant concern is whether selling now will give you returns, and not just any returns, good returns. The Arizona

rizona is drawing in homebuyers in droves. And it’s easy to see why. Arizona is one of the few states where there is a low cost of living without compromising the quality of living. It is among the cheapest metro cities to live in. Additionally, the Arizona housing market provides a wide portfolio catering to those in the market, whether a condo or a castle.
market, as most markets are now, has a unique supply and demand dynamic. The market is seeing a shortage in supply for homes, and this supply is being met by stiff demand. That dynamic has provided a perfect environment for price appreciation. As of June 2021, home appreciation increased by 30.0 % statewide, and experts say prices could continue rising in the coming months. This price appreciation is being met equally by an increase in home values. Home values have gone up by a whopping 22.7% from last year. And as a seller, it is important to note that you will get good returns on your sale. That is because an average home in Arizona is selling over list price. In Phoenix, that’s 2% over the median list price and 7% for the hottest homes. HOME SALES. There is safety in numbers. It is comforting to know that other people are listing their homes as well. The number of homes sold in Arizona in June this year rose by 9.7%, and, in Phoenix alone, there were 2,797 homes sold in June, an improvement from the 2,484 sold last year. Unfortunately, the number of homes for sale dropped by 31.3%. An indication that the supply in Arizona is still very slim. With the supply being so low, the demand could work in your favour. The high demand for homes is causing a lot of bidding wars, and as such you are likely to get more than the median list price.

HOUSING DISCRIMINATION
WOULD KEEP US FROM OUR NEW HOME.” “ As our family continued to grow, we started looking for a new home. The landlord told us he wasn’t comfortable renting to people with children because they might go to school or daycare and bring home COVID-19.” COVID-19 inequity is real, and it shouldn’t be made worse because of housing discrimination. If you suspect housing discrimination because of your familial status, file a complaint with HUD or your local fair housing center so we can investigate it.

WILDFIRES DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR RACE. BUT WHEN WE TRIED TO RENT A NEW PLACE TO LIVE, WE LEARNED THAT SOME LANDLORDS DO. When the fire came, we had to run from our home. Fortunately, we found temporary shelter. But as we started looking for a place to live, we ran into housing discrimination, which isn’t just unfair – it’s illegal. If you feel that a landlord or broker has denied you the sale, rental or financing of a home based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or because you have children, report it to HUD or your local fair housing center.
