2023 TRILOGY MARKET UPDATE - WINTER

LISTING

2022 was quite the interesting year for real estate! The first half of the year consisted of record breaking sales. A home selling in 48 hours with multiple offers over list price was very normal. Home values and the market peaked near the end of May and then things suddenly changed. Trilogy saw a record low number of sales in the months of August (4), October (7), and November (6). Average Days on Market nearly tripled from 22 DOM in April/May to 60 DOM today. The average sales price to list price also changed dramatically from 102% at the peak to 97% today.

All that being said, home values are still higher today than they were 12 months ago. In fact, they’re about 30% higher than January of 2021. Interest rates have gone down in the last month and we are seeing a lot of positive news heading into 2023. Arizona is one of the top growing markets in the nation and most experts feel strongly that the housing market will rebound in early 2023 and we will get back to healthy appreciation numbers.

Now that we are back to more of a normal market and it’s tougher to sell a home, it’s vital to choose a real estate broker that understands Trilogy, knows how to effectively price and market a home, and knows how to negotiate!

I’ve been selling homes in Trilogy and throughout the valley for 17 years and consistently rank in the top 1% nationally!

With 1,240 sales in the community, my team will make sure your next real estate experience is your best ever!
