Anthem, AZ Market Report – January 2015

The Anthem real estate market started out the new year much the same as we ended 2014, somewhat flat.  The number of homes sold ticked up a bit versus December and a year ago, but prices continued their flattening trend.   The 12 month moving average sale price is still continuing on upward trend, but we are maintaining single digit gains, up 8% from the previous year.  All in all this is not a bad set of circumstances.   The number of homes on the market increased to 227 versus December, but about 9% less than where we were at the same time last year.  Days on market increased significantly,  from 87 days in December to 12o for the month of January.  This is a good sign in that a number of homes that had been on the market a while have sold, probably due to price reductions, getting their homes in line with where the market is.  The market cooled a bit in 2014, but we’re poised to see a nice market here in 2015, with interest rates still at historic lows, home affordability improving, and overall economic momentum increasing. Home sellers will have to be more cognizant of their price point as we continue into our “selling season”.  Homes that are priced right are still selling quickly.

Here are the latest stats for the month ending 1/31/15:

Active Listings: 227 (Up 10% from Dec.’14, Down 9% from Jan. ’14)

Homes Pending: 94 (Up 24% from Dec. ’14, Down 5% from Jan. ’14)

Homes sold in last 30 days: 48 (Up 9% from Dec. ’14,  Up 2% from Jan. ’14)

Burn rate (Inventory on market / by homes currently under contract) =  3.41 months supply

Avg. Sale price (Solds): $287,197  (Up 1% from Dec. ’14, Unchanged versus Jan. ’14)

Avg. price per sq. ft. (Solds): $122.68  (Down 1% from  Dec. ’14, Down 3% from Jan. ’14)

Avg. Days on Market (Solds): 120 (Up 38% from Dec. ’14, Up 76% from Jan. ’14)

Anthem, AZ Real Estate Report – December 2014

 

 The Anthem real estate market closed out 2014 a bit weaker than 2013.  44 homes sold, slightly more than November but 20% less than last year.  Both the average sale price for those homes and the average price per square foot fell as well.  This continued a flattening trend in the Anthem market throughout 2014.  The current number of homes for sale is 206, with 76 homes currently under contract.  This translates to a “Burn Rate” (amount of time it would take to sell all the actively listed homes at the current rate of sales) of 3.71 months, a slight buyer’s edge.  The 12 month moving average sale price is $298,526, which is 8% greater than last year.

ACC/DFLT trail stewardship day scheduled for Dec. 6

The ACC Board of Directors endorsed Desert Foothills Land Trust (DLFT) trail monitoring and maintenance activities on the Anthem portion of the Maricopa Trail, also referred to as the Equestrian Trail, at their August meeting. Additionally, the Board endorsed a joint partnership with the DFLT to host a Trail Cleanup Day on Dec. 6, beginning at 7:30 a.m. on part of the Anthem Equestrian Trail.

This is an opportunity for local preservation groups such as DFLT and the Save Daisy Mountain committee to educate and introduce area residents to the local trail system, ecosystem and trail etiquette. It also empowers residents to “give back” and improve the condition of the trail.
