As soon as we met Kellie, we knew that she was the right Realtor to help us sell our home. Her and her team don’t just talk a good game...they execute! If you are looking for a Realtor who will work harder than anyone to sell your home for the right price, a team that will follow through on every little detail until closing--you MUST hire the team of Kellie Rutherford and Jeff Graver! You will be so happy that you did!

— Randy & Teresa

We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Kelli on several transactions. Their 100% attention to detail and resolution was above and beyond! Jeff and Kellie far exceeded our expectations and made our dreams come true. I HIGHLY recommend them for your real estate needs.

— Sean and Jeanene

We would highly recommend Kellie Rutherford if you are searching for a home in the Prescott area. She’s very thorough, knowledgeable and most importantly an honest person with integrity. Kellie’s main concern is her clients and being there for them. She made our wish to move happen. It was a smooth transaction completed in a timely manner. Kellie is your person if you want an experienced, ethical realtor. We would not hesitate to use her services again!

“I can only skim through your magazine very quickly at my doctor’s office; having it sent to me I can slow down and enjoy the many things Prescott and Prescott valley has to offer.

“First time to see the magazine. It’s great & filled with lots of business & some events! Can’t wait to see more!”

Quad Cities home inventory doubles from previous year

Prescott, AZ – September 6, 2022 – The Quad Cities added 582 new listings to the market last month for a total active inventory of 1,191 homes for sale across all four regions. That is twice as many as the 564 homes available for sale this time last year, a 111.2% overall increase.

The median home sales price in the Quad Cities region rose once again in August, according to the housing market report released today by the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS® (PAAR). The Quad Cities region’s median home sales price was $470,000 in August. The 321 closed regional home sales during the same month represents a 26.4% decline from the same time last year.

Dewey-Humboldt led the Quad Cities for the second month

in a row with a 7.5% increase in median selling price during August, reaching $446,250. Prescott Valley followed closely with a median selling price increase of 7%, topping out at $433,250 for the month.

“Homes in the Quad Cities are staying on the market longer than last year, but we are still well ahead of pre pandemic levels,” said George Beitzel, 2022 PAAR President.

“While inventory continues to rise it remains a sellers’ market, so it’s important to get prequalified, find a REALTOR® that knows the local area, and be ready to hit the ground running.”

Prescott and Chino Valley recorded drops in median sold price compared to August of last year, though the decrease in both areas

was confined to single digits.

The 1,191 homes listed for sale in the Quad Cities region at the end of August continues to reflect a doubling of market inventory since this time last year.

The detailed reports are available here: https://dashboards. domusanalytics.com/v/ PrescottInfographic and https:// dashboards.domusanalytics. com/v/PrescottInfographicArea

Editor’s Note: All data is compiled from the Multiple Listing Service of the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS®and includes single-family, manufactured, mobile, modular, condos, and townhouse residential activity in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt.
