Resale Listings

 

 

 

The listing count reported in the August Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS1).  Reports, which were released on September 15th, was 38,085—up 61 listings from the July reports.  In March the listing quantity dropped below 50,000 for the first time in 27 months.  The declining trend has continued, taking the count to less than 40,000 for the first time in three years. However, this current level remains substantially above the record level of listings prior to January 2005 which was 30,046 listings in February 2003. 

 

 

Resale Sales

 

 

ARMLS-reported sales for August fell 12% from the July sales figure with decrease of 1,087.  On an annually adjusted basis sales were up 2,348 or about 41% from August 2008.  This is the fourteenth consecutive month that there has been an increase in sales over the same month in the prior year. 

 

 

August’s sales quantity typically falls a little from July’s, so this month’s change is following the normal calendar cycle.  In the normal calendar cycle, sales tend to be highest in the summer and then gradually taper off over the next few months before resuming the climb during the first quarter of each year.  The winter months are consistently the lowest in sales.

Our sources of data for these displays are the ARMLS reports.  In these, there are three months, January – March 2005, for which we have not shown listing data because of apparent discrepancies.  Additionally, ARMLS notes that the listing information for March through August 2002 may contain errors, but we have chosen to display this reasonable data above.
