As of August 3, 2023, the greater Phoenix, Arizona housing market is experiencing a promising recovery in the monthly average sales price of homes. After enduring a slump seven months ago due to higher interest rates, the market is now witnessing a substantial rebound. The current prices are approaching the values seen during the peak of the market in May 2022.
Factors contributing to this recovery include strong demand and a persistently low inventory, which have led to the regaining of values seen during the market's highs. While different parts of town in greater Phoenix present varying dynamics, each neighborhood holds its unique charm and appeal to buyers.
Despite these market corrections, Phoenix remains a seller's real estate market, as more buyers are seeking homes than there are available properties for sale. However, the longer average days on market (increased by +36 days year-over-year) suggest that homes are taking more time to sell, possibly due to cautious or selective buyer behavior.
