Chandler has seen about a 3.9% year over year growth compared to 2014, jumping from $271,540 to $284,832 The result: Chandler remains in a steady market seeing gradual growth instead of a huge jump or decline. Chandler and the rest of the valley for that matter, remains in a balanced market, which the area has not seen in a long time. The listed to sold ratio has also stayed in a good healthy range of about 3.5-4.5 months of inventory for most of 2015 in the valley. This means that if no homes were to be listed, it would take about 3.5-4.5 months to sell all the inventory. Anything above 6 months means there is excess inventory and can drive prices down, high supply and low demand. While anything below 2 months creates a high demand with low supply and can drive prices up in a "hot" market.
What does this mean for you? Well, for those that are looking to buy in Chandler, it continues to be a great time to buy. With interest rates still hovering around 4.0% for a 30 yr fixed combined with a market not pricing people out of the area, buyers are reaping the benefits of a well balanced market. As for sellers, they are benefiting from the equity that is increasing on a daily basis. Sellers should remember to have a great marketing strategy to limit the days on market and take advantage of the lower average days on market.
