By
Real Estate Agent with Thompson's Realty

New Listings : 573

Pending Sales: 334

Sold Listings: 248

The total number of listings (single family homes) in Chandler is currently 2037 , giving Chandler about a 8 month inventory of homes or absorption rate. Including in the current inventory of homes for sale in Gilbert 168 are bank owned (REO) and 235 are short sales.

In April 2008, 56 of the homes sold in Chandler were REO and 28 were short sales, so the percentage of distressed home sales was approx 34%.

April showed an increase in sales price, but there were several 1 mil + homes that sold, that may be a false positive to this months increase in ave sales price. The average sales price dropped 10% from since Sept 2007.

New listings in Chandler outpaced sales, which will indicate an increased inventory- This is a new metric I will be tracking-Chandler Real Estate inventory (current active listings)

Jamie, I have been watching Chandler and Gilbert prices for the past 2-3 years.  It's a very pleasant area..someplace I'd consider retiring to!

Hi Eric,

Arizona is a great place to live-the summers can be difficult, but I think we make up for it the rest of the year.  I know the midwest had a veerrry long winter, I have clients in Chicago that own second home in the area, and keep me informed about weather conditions, and I have to report back the fabulous weather we have here and then they curse at me :).  If you ever come for a visit, look me up!!

Jamie, I lived in Tucson for two years, back in the early 1980s.  If I purchased in a warm climate, it would be a winter home, but I'd likely still spend summers in the midwest, at least for quite awhile.

No place is perfect, but I did like Chandler more than most of the Phoenix suburbs.

Eric, I would love to own a home (summer home) in Colorado, as that is where I grew up.  Chandler is a great area with a lot of options. Arizona really has a lot of great options for winter visitors.
