September is usually a quiter period for sale of single family homes in Tempe zip code 85281 - this zip code includes the areas close to down town, and the older neighborhoods with little, if any, new construction of single family homes. If we look at the graphic below the green bars show that last year the peak sales were in the months of July and August, and so were this year's. 

 

The infographic below illustrates the single family homes market dynamics for September 2018 :

54 active listings

26 New listings 

27 Under Contract

15 Sold Listings

 

 

Most of the transcations were either cash or financed with 30-year coventional loans, only a few were financed with an FHA and VA loans. One other trend I noticed is that about a third of the transcations had seller concessions.

Hi Steffy. I too really appreciated your observations about the transactions. That's the kind of insight that I'd want as a buyer, or a seller. Hope you get some calls from this one - and Happy Saturday. D

Endre Barath, Jr. , I enjoy looking at the spreadsheets with numbers and finding out stories in them. When I notice something interesting, then I do a spreadsheet for another area to see if it is similar there, too.

Hi Patricia Feager , I like the table and the graphics very much, too - it has month-to-month comparisons for the last year. The photo was taken from our favorite "A mountain" hike, down town Tempe, during the month of September 2018, too. :)

Hi Steffy

The graphics and your analysis tell. Story that buyers, and sellers, need to know as things shift. Now they just need to be in touch for your assistance in buying or selling a home in Tempe.

I like your new photo, by the way!
