Is Anyone Buying Homes In Greater Phoenix, Az?

Good Day to everyone,  I actually think it is a fantastic day myself and the market is moving.  I started with the title is anyone buying homes in greater Phoenix, Az for a reason.    The answer is yes.  If you do not know, I am a Real Estate Broker in Scottsdale, Az. for www.AzRealtyResults.com , and  I just pulled up the MLS and did a search on just Pending home sales in the MLS.  The number is really going to shock a lot of you I am sure.

I did a search of just the current pending sales for single family homes.  I did not specify any city or size or any other criteria.  I just wanted to know how many pending sales there are right now.  If you are ready, drum roll, the number of pending single family homes in the local MLS is, 10,479, that is right, 10,479 single family homes are pending sale as you read this post.  So I would say that there are definitely people out there buying homes right now.

If you would like to know how many homes have sold since the first of March, that number is, 6,098. So for those of you who are on the fence trying to decide if you should buy or not, let the numbers speak for themselves.

I want to be fair in presenting all the numbers to you as I am sure there are some that will say,” But how many homes are there for sale,  I am sure that is a really big number, and the numbers you are stating are small by comparison”.  To that thought here is the number of current active listed single family homes.  This number comes from the same search criteria as the other numbers.

The total number of Active single family homes in the local MLS is 37,567 .  I am sure that might seem like a large number, but let us think about that.  If you take the number of current pending sales of  10,479 and compare that to 37,567 active listings, and think the same percentage of pending vs active will be there next month, then there will be almost 28% of the current active listings you will not be able to buy next month.

So I suggest that you talk to a Lender, I can recommend several that will make the process very painless, get pre-qualified, and go buy a home.  I would hope that you would contact us at www.AzRealtyResults.com to make it all happen for you.  If you don’t use us, please do make sure to use a Realtor when buying a home, as only a Realtor can make sure that you do indeed get the best deal possible.   I hope you all likedthe information, and found it to be good news, unlike that which the news media always likes to give us which is all that is doom and gloom.  I hope you have a Fantastic day, and Buy some Property.
