Market Action Index above. Altos Research uses a complex algorithm to provide the MAI.
Cottonwood Arizona 86325 is a city, about a half hour south of Sedona. It is located off highway 260. Cottonwood is known for it's big box shopping centers and is also known for the Verde Valley Medical Center. There are many medical offices around the hospital that provide all the services you might need. Go to LifeInSedona.com and select Cottonwood for more information. Old Town Cottonwood has been completely renovated in the last few years. It has the charm of the Old West and the modern flair of contemporary restaurants and boutique shopping. One of my favorite gourmet food stores is the Verde Valley Olive Oil Traders. You must go in there and taste the ultra fresh olive oils and balsamic vinegars they offer. This Old Town experience is another reason that the Cottonwood, Clarkdale and Cornville areas are thriving. Not only does this area bring tourism but the locals are fully invested in it's success! When you look at the trend lines on the charts below, you will notice that Inventory was at it's highest level back in August of 2015 for all quartiles. In late April 2016, inventory appears to have bottomed out and continuing to rise through July. After a rise in inventory in July, The inventory in August has dropped a total of 22 homes in all quartiles. On July 28, the homes listed jumped to 137! Currently that number has dropped to 115 That is a significant drop. There has been 1 continual listing over $1 million. There continues to be 4 listings over $1 million. The Top quartile which has a median price of $599,450 is showing an average days on market at 207. DOM has dropped from the previous month of July. Most people will look in Sedona at that price range and higher. It is my belief that these homes sit on the market longer because of this. The Market Action Index MAI for the top tier is well below 30 and may have bottomed out at 22 in July. Currently it is 24. In contrast the MAI for the 3 other quartiles are mixed but the lowest indices show 46 as the lowest number. The other 2 quadrants show MAI 52 and 56. These numbers are strong indicators of the seller market! As an example the current MAI in cities such as Burlingame and East Palo Alto CA which are Silicon Vally cities, are showing MAI of around 58. Of course the average price per square foot in Silicon Valley is 5 times as high as Cottonwood. DOM and Inventory are both down for August. This should put positive pressure on the MAI and possibly the median price of homes. Cottonwood is in the seller zone overall and prices are rising slightly. Keep your eye on the MAI . The top quartile is the only one in the buyer zone and starting to inch upward. The other 3 quartiles are well into the seller zone, but are continuing to weaken. BOTTOM LINE: The homes in the Cottonwood area are priced more competitively than Sedona. You get more home and property for the price. Also it is an easy drive to Sedona to enjoy the beauty of that area. Buyers may find some relief in the top quartile. The homes in the top range, do not compete well with the more desireable location of Sedona. This may be the reason that this zone is not moving well. However, you will find that sellers in the other 3 quartiles have a strong negotiation position.
