Empowered by Phoenix Market Statistics in 2017

What the Phoenix Market Statistics are showing in October 2017

It pays to keep oneself in check as far as reacting to a market without the most current and accurate knowledge available to help in your decision-making. I wrote another blog this morning on the 2017 Annual Appreciation Market Overview and whether the real estate market is in what we would call a bubble. From the Phoenix Market Statistics (Cromford Report, 10/16/2017) below, one can see that we are not in runaway growth… In fact, one would report it appears a little lackluster. Thus, no bubble. It’s hard when thinking back to the market of 2004-2006, as stability was a non-existent word and we were all living in the midst of a euphoric environment.

Today, we are dealing with trend lines that remind me of days gone by. Real markets and not a roller-coaster schematic of a runaway buying-and-selling frenzy where collapse is on the horizon. Nobody, trust me… NO ONE wants to revisit the housing market of 2008-2011.

Greater Phoenix Real Estate: A Mixed Picture

This is a pretty mixed picture with fortunes changing in many different directions. All the appreciation rates are now positive (two were negative in January), which is a good sign. However, the slowdown in our largest city of Phoenix (about 25% of the total market) means the overall trend is the slightest bit lower now.
