85050 stats

Before I begin to explain the findings in the above chart, allow me to take a moment to define some of the terms.

Active: Listings that are currently listed as being "Active" in the MLS.

Pending: Listings that are currently under contract. This includes both Short Sales and Traditional (non- distressed) listings.

Closed: These are homes that closed escrow during the month of August /2011.

Traditional: These are listings that are "non-distressed" (i.e., not short sales or bank-owned).

Short Sales: These are listings that are marketed/sold for less than what is owed on their respective mortgages.

Bank-Owned: As the title implies, these are listings that are marketed/sold by the bank/lender that owns them.

Other/Misc.: These listings are owner/agent, probate, court approval required, etc.

There are currently 91 Active Listings on the market in Desert Ridge:

61 Are Traditional Listings

17 Are Short Sales

11 Are Bank Owned

 2 are Other/Misc.

There are currently 146 Pending Listings in Desert Ridge:

25 Are Traditional Listings

97 Are Short Sales

19 Are Bank-Owned

 5 are Other/Misc.

During the month of August/2011, there were 58 closed listings in Desert Ridge:

20 Were Traditional Listings

20 Were Short Sales

16 Were Bank-Owned

  2 are Other/Misc.

Finally, in the Desert Ridge Homes Monthly Real Estate Report, we will compare month/month cost per square foot for those homes that closed escrow in August/2011:

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in July/2011 in Desert Ridge Phoenix was $107.91 per square foot.

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in August/2011 was $106.47per square foot.

This represents a 1.35% decrease in prices within the community from July/2011 to August/2011.  The fact that 16 of the 58 closings were banked owned had a lot to do with this.
