How many homes are for sale in Gilbert, Arizona - Market Report

Absorption Rate in Gilbert, Arizona March 2015

 
Real estate market data for Gilbert, AZ provided by Nicole Doty of  Zion Realty.

 

What is the Absorption Rate when it comes to real estate? The Absorption Rate chart shows how long the current inventory of properties would last at the current rate of sales. If no new properties were added to the market, and sales continued at a steady pace, the Absorption rate indicates the number of months required to sell all the properties on the market. In a healthy real estate market this number should hover around a 3-Month average. As you can see the Gilbert, Arizona real estate market has been just below that mark since last December meaning total inventory has been slightly lower than the market can handle. 

However, the busy Spring and Summer real estate market is upon us! Inventory levels have seen an even greater decrease since this chart was updated in April 2015. The Gilbert market is seeing a high level of competition in the first time home buyer market. Homes in that price range are being bought up the quickest and some are receiving multiple offers within the first week of being listed for sale. Historical data shows that during Spring and Summer homes will usually sell the quickest out of any other time of the year. But armed with a little knowledge and a hard-working real estate agent from Zion Realty snapping up that perfect home before another buyer gets to it should be a little less stressful! But if you're in the market to sell your home, now is a great time as there is currently less competition and more buyers vying for your property!

The Gilbert Arizona March 2015 absorption report shows a sellers market with a 2 to 3 month supply of homes.

Good luck and success.

Michael - The first time home buyer is quickly losing ground here in Gilbert. Prices are right at the tiping point of becoming out of reach.

David - It was a pretty good day. I hope your Memorial Day was full of food, friends and family!

Lou - It definitely is a sellers market right now. It's frustrating a lot of younger first time home buyers who are only pre-approved for a certain amount and don't have a lot of negotiating power.

Gabe - I'm guessing when the May report comes out this number will have gone down even a little further.
