Prescott, AZ – May 8, 2023 –Total sales and new listings both declined last month, but the signs of a healthy market are still there according to the housing report released today by the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS® (PAAR).
Total home sales across all of PAAR fell last month to 267, representing a 25.8% decline since April 2022. It is important to note, however, that the drop in sales coincides with a similar drop in new listings across the same area, which declined by 3.6%, representing only 513 listings added to the local market in April 2023.
The good news is that months of inventory continue to recover across the Quad Cities, rising from only 1.3 months this time last year to 3.5 months last month. "The lack of housing inventory is a major constraint to rising sales," said NAR (National Association of REALTORS®) Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, in a recent press release. "Limited housing supply is simply not meeting demand nationally."
Positive indicators in the data also seem to support NAR’s predictions that sales in the second half of this year will be “notably better” and existing home prices will mostly stabilize. Median days on the market increased exponentially from April 2022 to April 2023, with the average listing jumping from only seven (7) days on the market to now 29 days (about 4 weeks/one month), signaling a return to a more sustainable pace for homeowners who are considering buying or selling property soon.
“REALTORS® take great pride in knowing the local market inside and out,” said M. Faye Humphrey, 2023 PAAR President. “PAAR members are proud of the contributions we have made to the long-term growth and prosperity of the place in which we both live and work.”
(To read more about how homeowners in the Prescott area accumulated more than $200,000 in wealth over the last 10 years - $60,000 more than the national average - due to home appreciation, see PAAR’s April 2023 story in our “Latest News” section at www.paar.org/ )
The detailed reports are available here: https://dashboards.domusanalytics. com/v/PrescottInfographic and https://dashboards.domusanalytics. com/v/PrescottInfographicArea
Editor’s Note: All data is compiled from the Multiple Listing Service of the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS®and includes single-family, manufactured, mobile, modular, condos, and townhouse residential activity in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt.
The flowers are blooming, and summer is right around the corner. But the real deal is on sailings later this year and early next: hundreds for as little as $100 a day to relaxing beaches in the Caribbean, the marvelous Panama Canal, autumn joy in Canada & New England and more. So, stop and smell the flowers … but show some love to the other seasons with a vacation then.
