Typically, the real estate market experiences a lull as colder weather sets in and many look forward to being home for the holidays. We didn’t experience this cool down last year, as COVID-19 set in and disrupted the real estate market’s usual seasonal trends. So, as home sales have decreased across many markets, this is the first typical fall market we have seen in two years. 

While there are fewer homebuyers this time of year, there aren’t many active listings to choose from either, thus competition remains high. It’s safe to say this seller’s market is here to stay through the new year. However, many markets are seeing homes sell for list price, rather than thousands over it. 

This fall, home prices have continued to increase in the single digits. This is a welcome change from double digit increases earlier this year. It’s important for sellers to consider their list price carefully to avoid a price decrease once on the market. But, by considering older listings, struggling home buyers can have more options to choose from. 

All stats below are based on End of Month in September vs October:

Phoenix Housing Market

Supply and Demand: In October, there were 6 weeks worth of housing inventory available, the same amount we saw in September.

The Phoenix real estate market remains one of the hottest markets in the country. In October, both new and active listings decreased, making this a challenging time to buy a home. Not to mention, Phoenix buyers hoping to purchase a primary residence are also competing with  investors, and iBuyers for limited listings. Single family homes sold for an average of $536,000 in October. Home values will likely continue to rise through the end of the year, as homes were selling for 3% under list price in September of 2020, now homes sell for an average of 3.5% over list price.

Tucson Housing Market

Tucson continues to mirror the Phoenix real estate market and see a high level of competition between buyers. Typically homes are on the market for less than 12 days. Median list price reached $362,990 in October, up from $318,000 in October 2020.  A popular destination for vacation homes and retirees, buyers have to move quickly in this area.

Seller Suggestions 

As we approach fall and the weather cools across the country, the real estate market shows signs of cooling iFall has offered some consistency in the real estate market for buyers and sellers. While new listings have decreased in most areas, days on market and supply have remained steady. October continued to see a strong sellers market, but fewer homes are seeing bidding wars. With that, fewer homes are selling for over list price. However, home values have increased dramatically across the country in 2021, and will likely continue to do so through the end of the year. Keep this in mind as you work with a real estate agent to price your home. Consider a comparative market analysis from an agent you trust to start the selling process.

Buyer Suggestions 

Fall has brought with it cooler temperatures and some favorable trends for home buyers. While inventory has While the enthusiasm of buyers who’ve been in the market for months may be fading, there are still eager, new buyers entering the market. The number of new listings has decreased in most markets, as sellers typically opt not to move during the colder months. Thus, there is increased competition over the remaining buyers in the market for a new home. In some areas, October saw ten to fifteen showings per active listing. As 2021 as shown so far, it’s incredibly important to be prepared with financing, and act quickly once you find a home that meets your criteria.
