This week the median list price for Gilbert, AZ is $675,000 with the market action index hovering around 40. This is about the same as last month's market action index of 40. Inventory has increased to 721.   In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.    The market is hovering around this plateau. Look for a persistent change in the Market Action Index before we see prices deviate from these levels.    YOUR   Latest activity in the VALLEY of the SUN For ALL your Valley AZ Real Estate Needs PHONE   Bill   at   602-999-0952 Text          Bill   at    602-99... 04/26/2025

Great advice from the Doctor. Bill I know this post is going to rub some people the wrong way. We have all been conditioned for our entire lives that the sun is our enemy. Stay out of the sun! The sun will give you skin cancer. And, because of these narratives, we have been told to slap on sunscreen anytime we are going to be outside. I have been doing some deep research into this whole topic and have found a lot of information that is incorrect, misleading, and downright troubling. Now, don't shoot the messenger here and just move along if you are a sunscreen-loving person. This post is probably not for you. The sun is NOT our enemy. The problem is many will flock outside on the first sunny day of Spring or Summer and try to take it all in with one, extended sitting. If you have not be... 04/26/2025

Real estate can often feel like the weather—unpredictable, ever-changing, and influenced by various external factors. Just as a sunny day can quickly turn into a thunderstorm, the real estate market can shift rapidly based on economic conditions, interest rates, and consumer sentiment.As I sat at my desk today, the sky was sunny blue and a very comfortable 70 degrees.

The weather can change anytime, just like the real estate market. It's not good or bad weather. It's just weather! It is how it is perceived.In many markets, spring is synonymous with a surge in activity, akin to the blooming of flowers. Buyers come ... 04/26/2025
