Anthem, AZ Real Estate – Parkside Market Report April 2012

jmurph16 — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:35:22 +0000

The Anthem Parkside, like the Country Club has been on fire lately as well. The number of sold homes declined up in April, but only because there are so few homes on the market at this time. At this moment there are only 51 homes on the market in Anthem Parkside. Prices are rising by all measures, average sale price is up as well as price per sq. ft. The real tell tell sign of our market improvement is the sale price to list price ratio. The days on market of homes sold also spiked dramatically, a symptom of the demand for homes, regardless of their days on market, and/or if they are short sales. At one point over the past several years buyers steered away from short sales. But because of the scarcity of homes on the market more buyers are opting to go that route. Here are the numbers for April 2012:

Anthem real estate – Market report April 2012

jmurph16 — Fri, 11 May 2012 23:49:56 +0000

The Anthem real estate market, as well as the valley as a whole, has really heated up over the past six months. The number of sold homes spiked up in April, although the average sale price dipped a little. However, that statistic is volatile from month to month because it is subject to the size of the homes being sold and the price level of those home that do sell in any particular month. The real tell tell sign of our market improvement is the sale price to list price ratio and the 12 month moving average. Both have risen lately. In fact, this is the third consecutive month we’ve seen an increase in the 12 month moving average, signaling a trend in our rising home prices here in Anthem. Here are the numbers for April 2012:

Apr ’12 Mar ’12 Apr ’11 Apr. v. Mar. ’12 Apr. v. Apr. ‘11
