After decreasing for two straight months, Gilbert home sales increased from 387 in August to 488 for September, but are still -6.7% lower than in September of last year. This is a significant increase in home sales, especially for this late in the year, and it is the highest number of home sales in a month this year. This is the time of year that home sales typically decrease due to the seasonality of home sales as we head into the Fall.
The number of new listings continues to fluctuate, decreasing to 433 in September after increasing to 515 in August, and decreasing to 475 in July. This is the lowest number of new listings in September over the last four years, and could be a sign that many home owners have decided to wait to sell their homes as we head into the Fall. At 433, the number of new listings is -17.8% less than the number of new listings in September 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 756 for September, down from 843 in August, and is the first decrease in new Gilbert listings since May. Active listings in Gilbert still remain lower than last year, and there are still -6.7% fewer homes for sale in Gilbert compared to September of 2020.
The lack of listings continues to drive demand and home prices higher. Median home values in Gilbert have increased an average of 24.1% since September of 2020. With interest rates still hovering around 3.0%, there should be more buyers looking to purchase throughout the remainder of 2021.
