FEBRUARY 2013 RESULTS
- Active Scottsdale Homes for Sale: Inventory was up slightly (1.1%) in February to 1,574. This is where we were about this time last year.
- Pending Homes Sales in Scottsdale: Pending home sales saw a nice jump to 490 by the end of the month. This is the highest we have seen it since last summer.
- Scottsdale Homes Sold: Sales were up in February due to increased pendings in January. 390 homes sold last month, which brings us back to about where we were before the dip in January.
This next chart has two components. The first part looks at how things have changed on a month over month basis. Of note, both pending sales and home sales both saw an increase of over 17% in February.
The second part is where we look at the average sales price of homes compared with the average listing price. This figure has been in the 95% range for many months now. What that means is that, on average, buyers received a discount of almost 5% off of the asking price.
In summary, February was a good month for Scottsdale home sales. As anticipated, things started to pick up on the pending and sales side. It was good to see inventory increase, but there is still a lot of demand out there that may be being held back by reduced inventory, especially at the lower price points.
