REAL ESTATE

We are seeing a slight edge for the seller’s this week on both condo and home sales in Cave Creek, 85331, and Carefree, 85377.

As of Wednesday, March 8, the median list price for Cave Creek, AZ 85331 is $1,190,000. Inventory has decreased to 107 homes. The condominiums are slightly stronger for the seller, with a median price of $639,742. This is a hard thing for me to get my head around. Condos have traditionally lagged behind single family homes for desirability. It may just mean an aging market in this zip code. Or the buyer is feeling they are getting much more value for their dollar.

For Carefree homes this week, the median list price is $1,822,500 and 32 active homes. The condos are $614,900 with an inventory of 32 active homes on the market.
The medium list price in Scottdale 85266 (Scottsdale) is $1,495,000 Inventory has decreased to 61 for single family homes. Condos are This week the median list price for Scottsdale, AZ 85266 is $750,000 with only 7 actives for inventory.

Supply and Demand, again, will drive our prices in our market. While its true the higher interest rates have driven a lot of investors out of the market, there still isn’t a large supply of homes.

One thing that I read in many articles is that because the interest rates are higher, the sellers have to come down in price to compensate. I believe that is not true. The buyers will just get less for their money than if they had a lower interest rate. Supply and Demand will drive the market prices. Many homeowners are sitting on 3% loans. They are not motivated to sell. So while some buyers are out of the market, some sellers are also.
