PHOENIX, AZ MARKET
September 2022
August was a pleasant relief after two awful months in June and July. The market still moved in favor of buyers, but the rate of change dropped significantly, and a few indicators actually managed to turn positive. We haven't been able to say that for quite a while. The supply of active listings grew during the month but only by 4.1%, which is a lot better for sellers than the 24.6% we reported last month. By the month's end, the growth rate of active listings was almost zero. This is largely because we are now seeing a low number of new listings. This is a significant change because Jun and July gave us an unusually high number of new listings.
