After increasing the last 2 months, the average sales price of Tempe homes has decreased this month, going from $532,043 in March to $520,809 in April. This is only the 2nd time that the average home prices have decreased in April in the last 5 years.

After increasing the last two months the average sold price per square foot of Tempe homes has decreased for the second straight month, going from $292/sf in February to $282/sf this month.

After Tempe days on market increased 8 months in a row Tempe DOM has now decreased 2 months in a row, going from 79 DOM in February to 61 DOM in April. Homes in Tempe are still selling reasonably fast, and sales should pick up through the spring, which is typically the time of the year when the Arizona housing market picks up.

After remaining the same for 3 months between January and March, Tempe home sales slightly increased this month. Home sales in Tempe went from 64 in March to 75 in April. Tempe home sales are now -31.8% lower than they were in April of 2022. This is the lowest number of home sales in April over the last 6 years.

The number of new Tempe listings has increased for the 4th straight month, going from 54 in December of 2022 to 89 this April. Even with these increases, new listings in Tempe are lower than they have been in April of the previous five years, and they are now -38.2% lower than in April of 2022.

After increasing for 5 straight months, the number of active listings has now decreased the last 7 months. Active listings have gone from 288 in September to 137 in April. Even with the decline, the number of active listings in Tempe are greater than they were in April of last year by 12.3%.

Median home prices have remained steady over the last 7 months while home inventory remains low. Homeowners are hesitant to sell their homes with such low mortgage interest rates because they will have to turn around and purchase a new home with mortgage rates double what they currently have.

Median home values in Tempe have actually decreased an average of -12.5% since April of 2022. Mortgage interest rates are hovering around 6.25%, and some experts say inflation is slowing. It looks like we are approaching a more balanced housing market in Tempe that should remain that way throughout the spring.

Phoenix AZ Real Estate Housing Market Report - April 2023

The average sales price of Phoenix homes has increased for the 3rd straight month after decreasing for 3 months in a row, going from $522,613 in January to $567,787 in April. The average sales price for Phoenix homes in April is still significantly lower than the all-time high of $621,488 that occurred in May of 2022.

The average sold price per square foot of Phoenix homes also increased for the 3rd straight month after decreasing for 9 months in a row. The average sold price per square foot of Phoenix homes has gone from $274/sf in January to $288/sf in April.

After increasing for 9 straight months, the Phoenix days on market decreased for the second month in a row. The days on market went from 81 DOM in February down to 62 DOM in April. Homes in Phoenix are still selling, but at a slower pace than the previous 4 years of frenzied activity.

Phoenix home sales decreased this month after increasing the previous two months, going from 1,065 in March to 960 in April. With this decrease, total Phoenix home sales for April are down -35.5% from April of 2022.

After slightly decreasing in February, new listings in Phoenix slightly increased for the 2nd month in a row, going from 1,029 in February to 1,083 in April.

Demand is still high due to the low number of homes on the market. Homeowners are locked into a very low mortgage interest rate and don't want to lose that when they sell.

With that said, median home values in Phoenix have decreased by -8.0% since April of 2022. This is the 6th straight month we have seen a year-over-year decrease. This has not happened in the previous 4 years. With interest rates remaining around 6.25%, the demand for homes will continue this spring.

Demand is still high and the number of homes for sale is low. This is partially due to inflation as well as higher mortgage interest rates.

This is the time of season where the housing market starts to pick up throughout the spring.

Chandler AZ homes for sale | Troy Erickson Realtor

After increasing the last 2 months, Chandler home sales decreased in April, going from 239 in March to 204 this month. The number of Chandler home sales is still lower than in April of last year by -34.6%. It is not typical for home sales to decrease this time of year, and they are the lowest home sales have been in April since before 2018.

The number of new listings in Chandler increased for the second straight month, going from 195 in February to 232 this month. With this increase, new listings are still down -41.3% from April of last year. This is the lowest number of new listings in April since before 2018.

After increasing for eight straight months, more than doubling from 313 in January to 773 in September of 2022, active listings in Chandler have now decreased 7 months in a row and are down to 354 for April. With this decrease, active listings are now lower than the same month last year for the first time in 13 months. With this latest decrease, active listings in Chandler are less than last year's April listings by -3.3%.

The decline in the number of listings in Chandler over the last 7 months is another sign that the housing market is slowing. Fewer homeowners are putting their homes on the market partially because they are locked in at an interest rate lower than 3.5% and don't want to have to buy a home when interest rates are now around 6.5%.

Home prices have been holding steady the last 7 months, and inflation and higher mortgage rates have slowed buyer demand. Median home values in Chandler have decreased an average of -6.6% since April of 2022. This is the 4th year-over-year decrease in a row after seeing nothing but increasing home prices from January 2019 through December 2022.

Mortgage interest rates have been holding steady the last few weeks right around 6.35%, and some experts say inflation is slowing. It looks like we are approaching a more balanced housing market in Chandler that should remain that way as we enjoy the spring.
