More homes are being put up for sale as regular sales this year than we saw last year.
Nationwide, foreclosures have gone down and so has Ahwatukee’s number of foreclosures. Homes listed as short sales where the home owner is selling the home for less than the mortgage on the home have also reduced drastically.

In May 2013, Ahwatukee saw 194 new homes listed for sale in addition to the already listed ones for sale, out of these only 5 homes were short sales and 11 were foreclosures.

This means 91% of all the homes that were put up for sale were normal sales for homes up to $599,999. This simply means for every 10 homes that were put up for sale last year, every 9 of them were normal, regular types of sale and only 1 out of 10 were either a foreclosure or short sale.

In May of last year, fewer homes were put up for sale, it was a total of 168 homes. Out of these homes listed for sale in Ahwatukee, 48 of them were short sales and 10 were foreclosures with only 65% of these homes being sold as regular sales.

This is about a 26 percentage point increase in the number of homes that are being put on the market for sale as regular same homes and not distressed.
