How inventory affects home prices:
When the inventory of homes in Mesa increases, the economics of supply and demand will take effect. When there is a large inventory of homes available for sale in Mesa, home prices will decrease in value for a couple of reasons. One reason is because there are more homes for Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Mesa decreases, you will start to see an increase in home prices. With a low inventory of homes, Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Mesa home. The lower the days on market, the faster a Mesa 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 Mesa should have average days on the market somewhere between 60 and 90 days.
