-August 2021 Scottsdale Homes for Sale and Home Sales –
While home sales fell to the lowest level we have seen in the past year, pending sales saw a decent uptick in August and UCBs held their course.
SCOTTSDALE HOME SALES ACTIVITY – AUGUST 2021
When we pull our monthly reports, we look at the following four items:
– Single-family homes for sale – Orange Line – The number of homes for sale at the end of the month.
– Under contract, but accepting backup offers (UCB) – Gray Line – The number of homes in UCB status at the end of the month.*
– Pending home sales – Yellow Line – The number of homes in pending status at the end of the month.*
– Home Sales – Blue Line – The number of homes sold during the month.
AUGUST 2021 RESULTS
- Scottsdale Homes for Sale: The number of homes on the market declined between July and August. The demand for more homes for sale is evident in the under $1 million price point where sales to listings in August was over 135%.
- UCB (Under contract, accepting backup offers): The number of UCB contracts was more or less level with the previous month.
- Pending Homes Sales in Scottsdale: Pending sales jumped 12.7% between July and August. This is a positive indicator for September sales figures.
- Scottsdale Home Sales: Sales fell to the lowest level we have seen in the past year. I would attribute this to some seasonality as well as low inventory and higher prices.
Below are two more items we track monthly:
Percent Change Month Over Month – Here we look at each of the sales metrics and compare the current month’s performance with the previous month’s. For example, home sales were down 9.2% between July and August.
Sales Price to List Price – This shows you how much homes are selling for on average compared to the average list price. In August, it was 98.7%, so buyers on average saw a discount of 1.3% off on asking prices.
*Figures for active homes for sale, UCB sales and pending sales are based on the numbers at the end of the month.
