After dropping down to 109 sales in November, Ahwatukee home sales increased to 137 for December. This is the highest number of home sales since June of this year and ends the year with much higher home sales in December than in the last three years.

The number of new listings in Ahwatukee dropped for the second straight month from 145 in October to 71 in December, decreasing to the lowest number of new listings in at least the last three years. It is typical for the number of new listings to drop off towards the end of the year as we head into the winter months, and a slower real estate market. This is only the second time in the last nine months that new monthly listings are less than new monthly listing from last year. This means that more homeowners have been looking to sell this year over last year since April of 2021. We will have to see if that trend continues into 2022.
Active listings in Ahwatukee significantly decreased in December after increasing for the last two months. After reaching a new 2021 high of 180 in November they dropped to 128 for December. With this increase the number of active Ahwatukee listings is now -19.5% lower than in December of last year. It is obvious that Ahwatukee could use more listings due to the continued high demand from buyers.

Median home values in Ahwatukee have increased an average of 31.0% since December of 2020, which is amazing growth. With interest rates remaining around 3.3%, the demand from buyers looking to purchase should remain high as we enter the new year.
