Are you hesitant to sell your house because you’re worried no one’s buying with current interest rates and prices? Here’s some perspective that might change your mind.
The housing market isn’t at a standstill. While sales have slowed compared to a "normal" market, Nationally, over 4Million homes still sold last year, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). That’s not including new construction. With expectations for growth in 2025, it’s clear that buyers are still out there—and they’re moving to Arizona!
Even if sales remain at last year’s pace, here’s what that activity looks like:
~~~ Every Minute, Homes Are Selling ~~~
- 4.15 million homes ÷ 365 days = 11,370 homes sold per day
- 11,370 homes ÷ 24 hours = 474 homes sold per hour
- 474 homes ÷ 60 minutes = 8 homes sold per minute
Think about it: just in the time it took to read this, 8 homes were sold.
Scottsdale Market Update
This week, the median list price for homes in Scottsdale, AZ, is $1,585,000, with prices trending slightly upward over the past 20 days. The median days on market is only 84, and the average price per square foot has risen to $504, up from November. All metrics and signs are pointing to a increased demand for homes in Scottsdale Az.
If you’ve been holding off because you’re worried buyers aren’t out there, let this reassure you—there are buyers actively searching for homes. Climate, wild fires, politics, corporate relocation, a+ School systems, School choice, and outdoor lifestyleare all major factors in people choosing to move to Arizona. The Luxury market ($1.5M+ is exploding and we are seeing some of these homes sell in less than 10 days on market). Luxury home buyers are normally not bound by interest rates and they are generally twp-income homes. If a Luxury-Home-Buyer sells a home in California, many times they can pay cash for a larger home in Arizona.
While high home prices and mortgage rates have sidelined some buyers, many others are motivated by life changes that can’t wait for perfect market conditions. These buyers are ready to move, and they need homes to purchase. With the guidance of an experienced agent, like J. Todd, your house can be front and center while other sellers hesitate.
