After Tempe days on market reached an all-time low of 20 in May and June, it has increased 7 months in a row. Tempe DOM increased to 66 in January.

The Phoenix days on market increased for the 8th straight month after decreasing the four previous months. The days on market has almost tripled from 24 DOM in May to 71 DOM in January.

After decreasing for four consecutive months, the days on market for Mesa has also increased 8 months in a row, going from 21 DOM in May to 73 DOM in January (more than tripling). The increasing days on market for Mesa is a sign that demand is slowing as we start the new year.

The Gilbert DOM has almost quadrupled in that time. Homes in Gilbert Arizona are still selling, but not quite at the frenzied pace they were in 2021 and midway through 2022.

This is the slowest time of season for the housing market in Arizona, but the home value increases from 2020 through the first half of 2022, plus the greater inventory of homes for sale, and the increase in mortgage interest rates have also contributed to the slowdown in the Gilbert housing market.

Even with this increase, this is the lowest number of Gilbert listings in January over the last 5 years. The number of new Gilbert listings in January is now -26.0% lower than the number of new listings in January of last year.

Home inventory increased in Gilbert between March and September but has decreased the last 4 months. Gilbert inventory almost tripled between March and September, but after declining over the last 4 months has gone back down from a high of 1,046 in September to 678 in January. Home sales have slowed, and home prices have been dropping, causing fewer homeowners to list their homes. The number of active listings in Gilbert are 77.5% higher than in January of last year.

Gilbert listings have caught up with demand and the rapid increase in home prices has now started to decline. Median home values in Gilbert have decreased an average of -1.1% since January of 2022 as mortgage interest rates remain just below 6.5%. This is the first decrease in home values since before 2019. The Gilbert housing market is slowing as we begin 2023, which is typically the slowest time of the year for the housing market in Arizona.

Chandler AZ Real Estate Housing Market Report - January 2023

The average sales price of Chandler homes slightly decreased to start 2023, after increasing in December, going from $590,913 in December to $585,004 in January. This is the second January in a row that sales prices in Chandler have decreased to begin a new year.

After decreasing for 7 consecutive months, the average sales price per square foot of Chandler homes remained exactly the same in January as it was in December. The average sales price remained at $272/sf. This price is lower than the price per square foot of Chandler homes last year, in January of 2022, by $6/sf.

After increasing for 7 straight months, the days on market has now decreased to begin 2023, going from 69 DOM in December to 66 DOM for January. Homes in Chandler are still selling, but they have certainly slowed down over the last 8 months, and as we begin the new year.

This is the slowest time of season for the housing market, but the home value increases from 2020 through the first half of 2022, plus the increased inventory of homes for sale and the increase in mortgage interest rates have also contributed to the slowdown in the Chandler housing market.

After increasing last month, Chandler home sales have decreased to begin 2023, going from 194 in December to 150 this month. The number of Chandler home sales is still lower than in January of last year by -30.6%. January is typically the slowest for home sales in Chandler. This is the lowest number of homes sold in January since before 2018.

After decreasing the last 5 months, the number of new listings in Chandler increased in January, going from 136 in December to 218 in January. With this increase new listings are now down -24.3% from January of last year. Even with this increase, this is the lowest number of new listings in January since before 2018.

Demand was high, and supply was low starting in 2020 and lasting through the first half of 2022, but the demand has been slowing down due to higher home prices and interest rates, and therefore fewer homeowners are putting their homes on the market. The days of listing your home and getting multiple offers thousands of dollars over list price are over.

After increasing for eight straight months, more than doubling from 313 in January to 771 in September, active listings in Chandler have now decreased 4 months in a row and are down to 522 to start off the new year in January. Although home inventory is decreasing, this is the 10th month in a row that active listings have been higher than the same month last year. Even with this latest decrease, active listings in Chandler are still greater than last year's January listings by 66.8%.

The decline in the number of listings in Chandler over the last 4 months is another sign that the housing market is slowing, as demand has slowed, and fewer homeowners are putting their homes on the market.

Demand is slowing in Chandler. Home prices have been declining since June of this year due to inflation, higher mortgage rates, and an increase of inventory, which has slowed buyer demand. Median home values in Chandler have decreased an average of -1.9% since January of 2022. This is the first decrease in year-over-year home values in 4 years, since January of 2019.

Mortgage interest rates have been fairly stable sitting just below 6.5%, and some experts say inflation is slowing. It looks like we are approaching a more balanced housing market in Chandler that should remain as we head into the new year.
