Resale Listings Continue to Climb

 

 

 

Real-time Information

 

 

In mid-January, the December ARMLS Sales Reports showed December’s resale listings of 26,790. That was up from 25,223 in November, but what has happened since then?  These listing graphs show that listing growth is continuing at an extremely strong pace.

 

 

In this rapidly changing market, utilizing just the Arizona Regional Monthly Listing Service (ARMLS) Sales Reports may delay the timely identification of potential changes in the market and can affect your ability to make informed decisions.  ARMLS compiles monthly data to release reports on about the 15th of each month.  You need to know what has happened since then and if there were any trends developing in January and early February.

 

 

The graphs below were compiled using daily figures of Internet MLS listings.  The exact quantities do not exactly match ARMLS Report numbers, because a few ARMLS members exclude some of their listings from the Internet, but the patterns are very similar.  Thus, the graphs below show no quantities on the vertical scale; yet, the continued growth of resale listings is obvious.

Commentary

 

 

Despite subtle dips during the last six months, the number of listings has steadily increased.  Overall, the growth in resale listings remains extremely strong.  Continued growth in listing levels will likely trigger a decrease in median sales price.  For more information on these subjects see our February IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS articles (to be released on February 17th).
