2021
The median sales price in Gilbert dropped to start off 2021, which also happened the previous two years, so this is no indication of any sort of change. I would predict that median sales prices in Gilbert will continue to grow as demand outpaces supply. February saw a large jump in the median sales price in Gilbert, just as predicted.
2020
Once again the new year saw Gilbert home prices increasing, but the Coronavirus hit the US Housing market and shut down our economy in March. Over 40 million people lost their jobs, and many businesses were shut down by the government due to the pandemic. As you can see, home prices took a slight dip in March, and dropped a little more in April, probably due to the pandemic. However, things seem to be turning around, as there has been an increase in the median sales price in each of the following months (8 straight months), up to the highest median sales price ever at $430,000 in December. Overall, the median sales price increased by $71,750, which was a 20.0% increase in 2020. In comparison, for 2019 we saw a 9.1% increase, in 2018 we saw an 8.9% increase, and in 2017 we saw a 6.2% increase.

2021
Gilbert home sales started off 2021 with a huge drop-off from December of 202, but as you can see on the graph, is pretty typical for this time of year. Home sales are down from January of last year, but a large part of the issue is the lack of homes for sale. Home sales increased slightly in February, but March should see a more significant increase, as we head into the buying season.
2020
Gilbert home sales started off the best it has been in the last 4 years, but then the Coronavirus hit the US Housing market and shut down our economy in March. As you can see, home sales were still on the rise in March, but did not increase as much as the previous 3 years. Gilbert home sales declined in April and May, and we will have to see if this trend continues, as over 40 million people have lost their jobs, and many business have been shut down by the government due to the pandemic. June and July saw an increase in the number of homes sold in Gilbert, up to 583 homes in July. This number is much closer to the norms for this time of year, as our economy is getting back to normal. August and September saw decreases in home sales, which is typical for this time of year, but the number of homes sold (531 and 523 respectively) are still much higher than in August and September of the last three years (averaging 444 sales). October saw a slight increase in Gilbert home sales, while November saw the typical decline in home sales as we start heading into the winter months. December home sales for Gilbert were almost exactly the same as November. The number of Gilbert homes sold in 2020 ended up higher than the previous 3 years.
2019
Gilbert home sales were once again very similar to the previous two years. It started off a little slower, with 255 sales in January being the lowest in the last 3 years, but ended up with 105 more homes sold than in 2018, and 18 more homes sold than in 2017.
2018
Gilbert home sales were very similar to the total home sales in 2017, with just 87 fewer home sales for the entire year. May saw the largest number of home sales at 568.
2017
Gilbert home sales started off 2017 with the highest first two months in any year since before 2013. However, even though March through May have seen a nice increase, they are not as high as the previous two years. I would think that June would be a good month, and then July will start the seasonal downturn of home sales throughout the remainder of the year.

Gilbert, AZ Home Inventory:
2021
The home inventory in Gilbert remains very low to start off 2021. It dropped a little from December, and is 18.9% lower than the same month last year.

How inventory affects home prices:
When the inventory of homes in Gilbert increases, the economics of supply and demand will take effect. When there is a large inventory of homes available for sale in Gilbert, home prices will decrease in value for a couple of reasons. One reason is because there are more homes for Gilbert home buyers to choose from. Buyers will take their time in selecting a home, causing homes to stay on the market longer and increasing inventory. Because there are more Gilbert homes for sale, home sellers will begin to lower their sales price in order to get their home sold.
When the inventory of homes in Gilbert decreases, you will start to see an increase in home prices. With a low inventory of homes, Gilbert home sellers know that they can ask a higher price because there are more buyers in the market than homes for sale. Homes tend to sell faster, and for more money when inventory is low. There are fewer choices for Gilbert home buyers, and sometimes you will have to offer a higher than list price to get the home you want.

Days on market (DOM) is a measure of the age of a real estate listing. It is the total number of days a listing is on the active market before an offer is accepted on the property, or an agreement between the real estate broker and home seller ends. The higher the days on market, the longer it is taking for homeowners to sell their Tempe home. The lower the days on market, the faster a Gilbert home is receiving a purchase contract, and getting off the market.
Generally, properties with a longer DOM will command lower prices than properties with a shorter DOM because a perception exists that the property may be overpriced or less desirable the longer it remains on the market. DOM often factors into developing a pricing strategy. DOM can also be used to gauge the condition, or trend of the housing market. Previous history has shown that a fairly stable real estate market in Gilbert should have average days on the market somewhere between 60 and 90 days.
