We are slowing down in our monthly average sales price per square foot rise year over year in Ahwatukee. In almost 2 years our percentage increase in average price per sq. ft. compared to each month of the previous year has been minimum indicating that the market has stabilized.
The last time we saw a high increase was in April 2014 where we saw home prices per sq. ft increase by 9% with an average selling price of about $142.70 per sq. ft. compared to $130.68 in April 2013 for homes priced $800,000 and below.
Since June 2014, our monthly average prices have been fluctuating but we have not seen any increase higher than 5.7%.

However in the luxury market, the story is quite different due to fewer homes in this price range. For homes priced between $800,000 and $1,500,000, the highest price increase was in August 2015 with a 100.8% increase average price per sq. ft. compared to August 2014.
May 2014 was also the highest we have witnessed for prices between $1,500,000 and higher at 116% increase.
