Summer Residential Real Estate Market Going Strong in the Sweet Spot
Looking back at the wild ride of the home-buying frenzy during the past three years, skeptics had warned prices could not keep going up, demand would have to level off, and certainly we should all be wary of the “bubble,” that, when popped, would cause home values to come crashing down. But despite an increase in homes for sale and the 10th interest rate hike in 14 months, the Flagstaff real estate market continues to sizzle. “We thought last summer was wild and the truth is, this summer is … [Read more...] about Summer Residential Real Estate Market Going Strong in the Sweet Spot
Flagstaff Experiencing Pent-Up Demand for Housing
There has been a flurry of real estate activity in our market and the nice weather has further facilitated getting folks out to open houses and writing contracts. We are now back to multiple offers on certain homes, depending on price point and condition. However, what has been a bit perplexing as of late is the historically low absorption rate. For the month of April 2023, there were only 44 single-family homes sold in Flagstaff and for the months January through April 2023, there were only 138 … [Read more...] about Flagstaff Experiencing Pent-Up Demand for Housing
Spring Cleaning, Decluttering to Add Value
What is staggering this spring and unique about Flagstaff is our housing market compared to the rest of the country. Forbes Advisor reported that “[national] home sales prices fell year-over-year in February – the first time in nearly 11 years.” However, locally, we did not see sales prices decrease, we have actually seen price per square foot increase in first quarter year-over-year. In fact, our average sales price rose from $844,769 in March 2022 to $898,900 in March 2023, which is a 6.4% … [Read more...] about Spring Cleaning, Decluttering to Add Value
Mountain Modern Commands More Money
Design trends come and go and just like fashion, they evolve and change over time. What can be so much fun about watching the evolution of style is to see what takes off and makes a mark versus what pops up and then quickly fades away. Anyone who visits Arizona and doesn’t know our area very well will soon learn that the style of architecture and interior design for the trifecta is very diverse – the trifecta consisting of Scottsdale, Sedona and Flagstaff. Let’s take a look at three of the … [Read more...] about Mountain Modern Commands More Money
Super Bowl Brings Super-Sized Real Estate Sales
It’s no secret that the Super Bowl will be held in Arizona this month at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. The last time the Grand Canyon State hosted the Super Bowl was 2015, prior to that, it was 2008, and the first time was 1996. Beyond the showstopping halftime entertainment and the memorable commercials, what makes headlines – to numbers geeks like me – is the profound financial impact the Super Bowl has on the local economy. Direct visitor spending will total between $128 million to $259 … [Read more...] about Super Bowl Brings Super-Sized Real Estate Sales
A Tale of Two Markets
This time last year, it would’ve been difficult to predict the twists and turns our real estate market would take throughout 2022 – the first half and the second half each telling different stories of the same market. The first quarter of the year experienced steady increases in average price, price per square foot and median price. February 2022 witnessed an historic average price for a single-family home in Flagstaff weighing in just shy of a million dollars at $982,134. By second quarter, we … [Read more...] about A Tale of Two Markets
