How long will it take to sell my Gilbert, AZ home? - July 2016

July saw a big increase in the amount of time it was taking to sell a home in Gilbert, Arizona which is the first such increase in two months. On average in the month of July 2016 a home in Gilbert took 60.2 days on the market which is almost a 7 day increase over the previous month's numbers. However, year over year numbers are still steady which shows a stable and healthy market. There are still some homes in the most highly sought after neighborhoods and locations which are selling almost as fast as they are being placed up for sale, and yet some other homes in the higher price brackets are taking longer than the average to sell. 

The most competitive price range in Gilbert, Arizona currently is that of the first time home buyer between $200,000 and $250,000. Homes in that price range are being bought up the quickest and some are receiving multiple offers within the first few weeks of being listed for sale.

We are now winding down the busy Summer selling season. Historically during this time of year it will begin to take a little more time to sell a property as the fall and winter season slow down approaches. If you're a buyer, you want to see the Days on Market increase because for you that means you have more time to think about a home before needing to make an offer. If you're a seller you want to list your house sooner rather than later. The Summer time real estate market will bring more listings and more homes competing against yours for the eyes and dollars of buyers. Armed with a little knowledge and a hard-working real estate agent from Zion Realty buying or selling a home will be a little less stressful!

July 2016 Market Report - How much is my Gilbert, AZ Home worth?

Every home owner wants to know how much their property is worth. Prices have long since stabilized for the most part here in Arizona and the dramatic shifts in upward and downward pricing have largely ceased. Bidding wars are few and far between and are only reserved for those most sought after locations around the Valley where properties rarely come available. But what can a home owner expect to get from their Gilbert, Arizona home?

The Sold to List ratio is a comparison between the price of what a seller listed their home for sale versus the price in which the home was eventually sold. In July, home sellers in Gilbert, Arizona saw a slight decrease in this ratio after a minuscule increase the previous month. According to the numbers, home owners are getting around 97.2% of their asking price when selling their home. Traditionally, prices and values increase during the busy Summer season and start to slightly decrease once the Fall and Winter approach.

The Sold to List price average is around the same percentage it was a year ago which shows a strong and stable real estate market here in Gilbert, Arizona. This is a good reminder to sellers that although you can list a home for sale at whatever price you feel is fair, the free-market will dictate what the home is worth. Ultimately, a home is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. There are certainly homes that get offers at the full listing price but on average most home owners are only getting close to the 97.2% ratio shown in this latest graph.

Conversely, this is also a good reminder to buyers that sellers are getting the majority of their asking price so low-ball offers are not only being roundly rejected but are completely unrealistic in today's stable market. The Gilbert housing market has been steady all year so a dramatic shift up or down in the Sold to List ratio would be a surprise as we approach the busy Spring and Summer market.
