What this Data Means for Sellers and Buyers F O R S E LLE R S
If you are considering selling your home, this is a great time to do so. It is truly a seller's market. Housing inventory in our market is at a historical low point. One way real estate inventory is measured is called Days Of Inventory. It is somewhat of a theoretical measure because it assumes that if no more homes came onto the market, the number of days it would take for the market to run out of homes at the current rate of sales. In North Scottsdale, this usually averages close to 200 days. At the end of the year, Days of Inventory in North Scottsdale had dropped to a mere 51 days.

When inventory is low, buyers need strategies to ensure that the homes they like can be theirs. The market is as active as it is now when it is a seller's market. A market like this does not mean that a buyer can't negotiate a favorable deal, but a buyer needs to be prepared to jump when they find the right home. Working with a strong agent as your partner when buying is critical. You want someone on your team that truly understands the market, can help you negotiate the best deal, and get from offer to close.

Even though prices are creeping up, this is a great time to buy because of the amazingly low-interest rates. Lenders have a variety of programs that can assist most buyers. Since the rates are so favorable, you may qualify for more than you think. The key in this market is to be pre-qualified before you even start to look.
The reduced inventory is driving home prices in our market higher and sometimes resulting in multiple offers that can drive the selling price above the asking price. In the last quarter of 2020, 15 percent of homes sold above the asking price in North Scottsdale. FOR BUYERS
