Fountain Hills Arizona Real Estate Homes Sales Report August 2011

 

 

By looking deeper into the year to year stats of homes sales in Fountain Hills AZ you will see big changes from August of 2010 to August of 2011.  The real estate market is alive and well in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

 

  • Active Listings are Down by 29%

  • Pending Sales are up by 38%

  • Closed Sales are up by 21%

 

We all know the media likes to 'take a bite' on any negative piece of news to make it appear as if the real estate market is doom and gloom.  It is not!  We expect sales to continue on a upward trend  this next year due to low home prices and low interest rates.

 

Many Fountain Hills, Arizona homes have had multiple bids if they're priced right, in good condition and in a good location. There are still bank owned and short sales and some traditional sales.

 

My advice to buyers is that if you find the home you like, and the comparables prove to be in line with the market, don't wait to make your offer - if this truly is your dream home or a hot investment property that fits into your portfolio.  It may take a  few bids to finally win a bid on a home but in the long run it's worth the effort. Patience will pay off.

 

And of course if you're looking for a hard working, dedicated real estate agent that knows the Fountain Hills, AZ real estate market and knows how to navigate multiple bids - give me a call.

 

Let's meet for coffee and discuss your game plan.

Anna, you're so right, our Arizona real estate market is BOOMING with sales and those homes which are priced right are moving very quickly.  With interest rates at record lows, now is THE TIME to buy!!!

I'm seeing that trend in my area too, but prices are down.   I'm excited about less inventory on the market.  I personally think that's a key step in recovery.

You do such nice job of presenting data and a through analysis so buyers, and sellers, can really grasp the picture of what the market is doing and what it means for them.
