April has been a busy month–there have been over 9100 sales. Currently, distressed inventor accounts for just 2% of the available inventory. The average sold price to list price ratio in April was .99–a strong figure indicating demand is strong for the limited inventory. With temperatures now in the triple digits, the market is bound to cool a bit; however, we expect that this summer will be a little more brisk in terms of sales than last summer. As long as rates remain stable and the economy keeps chugging along, the Phoenix metro housing market should remain attractive. In case you missed our last report, check out our 2018 market outlook.
