Gilbert Real Estate Market Report November 2019

Before we get into the  Gilbert Real Estate Market Report in November 2019, I have a commentary written by Tina Tamboer.  Tina is the Senior Housing Analyst with the Cromford report. She was nice enough to let us use her summary of the Greater Phoenix Metro area as a backdrop for what is happening in Gilbert this month. Here is her commentary..

The Greater Phoenix Metro Summary Analysis Real Estate Market Report

Contracts In Escrow Up 19% Over Last Year. Despite Rising Prices, Affordability is Good

For Buyers:
Buyers waiting for prices to come down have been sorely disappointed so far in 2019. The average sale price per square foot is up 6.7% since last November.  The median sales price is now $283,000, up  $21,000 from last November’s measure of $262,000.
Despite rising prices, affordability has remained normal throughout the year.

One relevant factor is Private Sector Earnings in Greater Phoenix has risen 4.5% annually as interest rates have continually declined. The median family income was measured at $72,900 last quarter and families making that income could afford 68% of what sold last quarter (according to the HOI index published by the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo).

The historical norm for our market is 60-75%. Clearly not all buyers have parked on the fence, demand has been hovering 6-7% above normal for our area for about 4 months while supply is 44% below normal. The only measurable relief for buyers
is last month’s supply level was 47% below normal, so it’s 3% less hard to find something suitable.

For Sellers:
The number of listings under contract may have declined 26% from its May seasonal peak, but it’s nearly 19% higher than it was this time last year. This, combined with monthly sales up nearly 15% over last year, is a solid indicator that year-end closings will outperform last year despite a shaky start.

Single Family permits (future supply) are up 4.6% year-to-date and multi-family permits are up 6.4%, reaching a level not seen since 2007. Single family home sales are up 5.7%, but new townhome and condo sales are down a whopping 30%, which is surprising. Resale condos and townhomes have increased in sales volume this year, so the drop in sales for new construction despite an increase in permits indicates that much of the multi-family units constructed are not for individual sale but are for rent.

This is good news if you’re planning to sell your condo because the majority of developments are not competing for buyers. This is not good news if you’re renting your condo nearby because that’s an increase in competing units for renters. “Apartment style” private condo rental rates per square foot have grown less than 1% over the course of 3.5 years according to the Arizona Regional MLS records.

Real Estate Market Report

As the chart above shows, Inventory in Gilbert remains low at 1.15 months supply ( as compared to last months 1.02).  The Seller has the advantage due to such a low number of Homes on the Market. We did expect inventory to rise since historically April/October are the 2 months where people list their homes for sale. However, since sales remain strong, the inpact this year was negligible.

Buyers will have to look to make offers that are very competitive in price along with as few contingencies as possible. Buyers should be ready to react quickly when they see a home they want to place an offer on so to beat out the competition.
