It's summertime in Phoenix and the real estate market, much like the weather, is heating up. We wanted to give you a quick market update so that you are informed of all the latest happenings in the Greater Phoenix real estate market. 

We have seen a massive increase in inventory over the past year. We currently have over 25,500 active listings in the Greater Phoenix area compared to about 15,500 listings at this time last year. So, what's causing this change?
  •  For one, the inhibiting affects of massive student loan debt is stopping many younger people from getting into the market  and purchasing their first home. 
  • Another reason for this change is the after effects from the foreclosure wave of 2008-2012 that introduced sensitivities to people about risks associated with buying a property.
  • Also, a large number of former homeowners have yet to repair their credit from the last financial crash. This is keeping them out of the market as well.
  • Investors are not buying properties at the rates they were last year. This has pulled back demand for property and allowed the inventory to rise.

What this really means is that we are in a very healthy market. We are hovering around 4-5 months of inventory, with a 3-5% appreciation market. A healthy market is beneficial for all.
