After seeing a significant drop in Gilbert home sales in January, home sales in Gilbert have increased the last two months, going from 283 in January to 442 in March. With this increase Gilbert home sales are now 10.8% higher than in March of 2021. March home sales in Gilbert are higher than they were in March of the last two (pandemic) years. This could mean that we are in for another competitive housing market this spring.
The number of new listings in Gilbert saw another increase in March after decreasing the previous month, going from 372 in February to 445 in March. It is typical to see new listings increase in March, but next month's new listing data will tell us a lot about the Gilbert housing market heading into the high buying season. The number of new Gilbert listings in March is still -7.5% lower than the number of new listings in March of last year.
There is still a lack of inventory based on demand, and that will only help home prices continue their upward trend. The number of active listings sits at 343 for March, down for the fifth straight month, and down from the 2021 high of 529 in October.
Active listings always tend to start off low to begin a new year, but typically increase in February to kick-off the new housing season. This is the first year since before 2018 that February and March both saw a decline in Gilbert home inventory. Active listings are now -6.0% lower than in March of last year.
The lack of listings continues to drive demand and home prices higher. Median home values in Gilbert have increased an average of 26.8% since March of 2021. Mortgage interest rates have started to increase above 4.25%, but are still historically low, so there should be more buyers in Gilbert looking to purchase homes early on in 2022.
