April ARMLS Reports
Resale Listings
The listing count reported in the April Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS1) Reports, which were released on May 16th, was 34,215—down 3,417 listings from the March reports.
Resale Sales
ARMLS-reported sales for April dropped 6% from the March sales figure with a decrease of 599. On an annually adjusted basis sales were up 67 or less than 1% from April 2010.
April’s sales quantity typically rises slightly from March’s, so this month’s change does not follow 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.
