A look at South Phoenix home values 2018
What to we look at with home values 2018?
Well, we will be looking at the market activity by paying attention to a couple of key items which help us monitor the real estate market:
- Homes for sale
- Homes under contract
- Homes sold in last 30 days
In addition we will discuss the type of market, and if values appear to be appreciating, holding, or possibly depreciating. As home home owner/seller or even buyer these are all important to know.
If looking to buy –
South Phoenix offers several gated communities, several golf course communities, several newer subdivision homes, many older subdivision homes, homes with HOA, homes without HOA, homes that have irrigated land, homes with acreage, homes with horse priveledges, desert property homes and maybe some others I may have missed. If your looking to buy a home in South Phoenix, I have made some links for specific community types and you can view those here.
If looking to sell…Simple – Just request a home valuation and consultation here.
The look at home values for South Phoenix 2018 start here/below.
I will post updates as weeks go by, so the latest update will appear on the top.
December 17th, 2018
289 properties for sale
148 properties under contract
119 properties sold in last 30 days
2.42 current market inventory
$139.10 was average sale price per square foot
$237,899 was average sale price
45 was average days on market
Comment – Still a seller market in South Phoenix, though inventory is slowing starting to grow.
December 10th, 2018
Below are the most recent numbers for real estate in South Phoenix:
276 properties for sale at this time
155 properties under contract
117 properties sold
2.35 months inventory
$136.57 was average $/sq foot for homes that sold
$252,543 was average sale price
44 was average time to sell
Comments – Still great time to sell, but NOTICE that the inventory is slowly growing. We are the highest level of inventory for the 2nd time this year, and it appears that inventory will continue to grow.
December 3, 2018
Wow – already at the end of the year, another full year of writing about South Phoenix home values and real estate trends. Find below the latest information:
277 properties for sale
152 properties under contract
126 sales in the last 30 days
2.19 months inventory
$136.10 was average $/sq ft
$253,478 was average sale price
48 was average time to sell – FOR SOLD HOMES
Comments – Funny how average dollar a square foot for homes is $136 and the average for homes currently on the market is a full $12 more a square foot. That is also likely why average days on market is 48, while average days on market for homes for sale is 77. Normally when homes are priced TOO high, they will sit on the market for a longer time, or until home owner reduces to market/below market value. Values have been holding steady, but notice inventory is growing slowly, and if that trend continues we could be heading for a market Shift.

November 20th, 2018
So, a seller market continues. I do hear a lot of chatter, especially from area residents and potential sellers. Often the talk is how quickly homes are selling, and how easy it will be to sell. Hell, some even try to go and sell as for sale by owner.
Some properties are selling yes, but others are not. There were 195 properties that sold, yet 353 did not! This is for the South Phoenix zip codes.
If looking to sell, price it right and chances are good it will sell. Current inventory is 1.81 months inventory.
November 12th, 2018
Below are the numbers for today, which happens to be veterans day (thank you TO ALL who have served our country),
276 homes currently for sale in the South Phoenix real estate market
173 properties under contract
150 sales in last 30 days
1.84 is current months inventory
$139 was average $/sq ft for homes sold
$244,054 was average sale price
43 was time to sell
Comments – Really not much change. Truly, the last 2 years have been pretty boring to write about. The market has been steady, with low inventory, which benefits sellers. While inventory has been growing, there is no real end in sight yet for the current real estate trend of being in a seller market.
November 5th, 2018
Below are the most recent numbers for South Phoenix real estate, home values and market trends:
274 properties for sale
185 properties under contract
143 sales in last 30 days
1.91 months is current inventory/turn over
$139.54 was average $/sq ft for homes sold
$244,996 was average sale price
41 was time needed to sell
Comments – We are still in a seller market, when looking at the South Phoenix real estate market as a whole. Which does make it a great time to sell.
A word of caution – if considering selling, be sure to conduct a market analysis for homes comparable to your own home. This information here can give you an idea of the entire market – but your home may be niche specific. As an example, horse property or luxury condo. Market changes, and so does demand.
November 1st, 2018
Find below the latest information for South Phoenix:
268 properties for sale
177 properties under contract
148 properties sold in last 30 days
1.81 months inventory
$140.23 was average $/sq ft
38 was average days to sell
$245,456 was average sale price
Comments – Number of listings active, and new to market has dropped off slightly, as also has the number of properties under contract. As a result, inventory dipped slightly, which is still favorable for sellers. This is the first dip I’ve seen since inventory has been going up since February.
While inventory remains low, and below 3 months, I think we may be coming onto a shift. Time will tell, but for now it is a seller market, and values have been holding steady.
October 15th, 2018
In the end really not too much change, see the most recent real estate stats for south Phoenix below:

2.18 months inventory
$138.66 was average $sq ft for homes sold

October 8th, 2018
Below are this weeks South Phoenix real estate market stats and trends:
268 properties for sale
199 properties under contract
122 sales in the last 30 days
2.19 months inventory
$139.45 was average $/sq ft for homes sold
$248,573 was average sale price
45 was average days to sell
Comments – Market continues to be a seller market, though this is the HIGHEST months inventory since January of this year. Values continue to hold, and we are above homes values of this time last year.
Bottom line – Is it a good time to sell? Yes, it is a great time to sell. Homes are still selling pretty quick, and with low levels of inventory there is less competition for the buyers.
October 1st, 2018
Welcome to the new Month! Below are the most current numbers for South Phoenix real estate:
260 properties for sale
194 properties under contract
127 sales in last 30 days
2.04 months inventory
$138.39 was average sale price/square foot
44 was average days needed to sell
Comments – Really not much change in the market! Closings have slowed down a bit, and inventory has grown for the last 2 months. Average time to sell, and values, have been steady.
September 24th 2018
Below are South Phoenix real estate latest numbers:
250 active properties
220 properties under contract
143 sales in last 30 days
1.74 months current inventory
$136.39 was average $/sq ft
$249,718 was average sale price
43 was time needed to sell
Comments – Currently the inventory has been slowing rising. Will the trend continue? If it does we could see values begin to stagnate, and who knows – will trade war have an effect. Time will tell.
Homes prices well are selling, and mostly within a relatively short time – about 43 days. Price well, sell it, don’t price it well and it will likely sit for a while until price is corrected.
September 17th, 2018
Below are the latest statistics for the South Phoenix real estate market:
230 properties for sale
221 properties under contract
141 sales in South Phoenix in the last 30 days
1.63 months inventory
$137.29 was average dollar a square foot for homes sold
$252,531 was average sale price
42
Comments – While we still are in a seller market, with a lower inventory, it seems like the inventory has grown a bit. Actually inventory today is the highest it has been since February of 2018. Will this trend continue? Time will tell, but should inventory continue to grow we could see the market stagnate a bit.
September 10th, 2018
Find below the latest information for South Phoenix real estate and home values:
223 active properties for sale
215 properties under contract
151 sales in the last month
1.47 months inventory
$132.29 was average $/sq ft for homes sold
$235,643 was average sale price
39 was average time to sell
Comments – Not much beyond what I have been saying for the last year, it is a seller market. With under 2 months inventory, buyers are having to compete a little more, especially at the lower price ranges. This is however, the highest inventory we have had, since January 2018, so it has been going up a bit.
Values have been holding steady, with average $/sq foot having been in the low $130’s for couple of months. It continues to be a good time to sell if considering. Also to buy, as interest rates are still affordable.
September 5th, 2018
Below are the latest numbers, followed by a brief commentary:
226 active properties for sale
199 properties under contract
155 sales last 30 days
1.45 months inventory at this point
$132.47 was average $/sq ft
$237,052 was average sale price
42 was average time to sell
Comments – Some experts, and myself, feel the market is heading for a shift. The numbers at this point, both above and below, indicate we are still in a seller market. That has been the case for over 2 years at this point.
We continue under 3 months for single family homes, though, we have seen a drop in average $/sq foot for several weeks now and about the same as we were in June. Interest rates have been going up, and that means for many the affordability factor may prevent home ownership.
August 27th, 2018
Here are the latest numbers for South Phoenix
231 properties active and for sale
215 properties under contract
158 properties sold in last 30 days
1.4 months inventory
$133.47 was average $/sq ft
$227,922 was the average price
38 was average time to sell
Comments – while all then numbers are still showing a seller market, with under 3 months inventory, and thus a low level of inventory – it feels like a shift is coming. While many of the homes selling are going on average in 38 days, there are many active homes priced well that are beginning to sit on market. This is a new trend I’m noticing. Translation – maybe a shift.
August 20th, 2018
Below is a look at the latest information for South Phoenix home values and market trends:
236 properties for sale
210 properties under contract
162 sales in the last 30 days
1.45 months inventory (more than last month – a smidgen)
$133.27 was average $/sq ft
$231,063 was average sale price
41 was average time to sell
Comments – Really not much change from many of my previous entries. While it feels like a shift is coming, the numbers show that we continue in a seller market, with low inventory and values which have slowly been appreciating for over a year.
Why do I say a shift may be coming? Well it boils down to having interest rates going up, home values having gone up for 5 plus years, and this of course affects affordability. In addition, while un-employment is down, there has been no significant increase in pay for 90% of the population. In essence, it is not sustainable! Time will tell, but as of now the market shows stability.
August 13th, 2018
Below is the latest information to help determine the South Phoenix real estate market and keep a gauge of over all values for real estate:

$136.70 was average price/sq ft
$234,328 was average sale
39 was average time to sell
Comments – Really no comments to add, pretty much the same as it has been for over a year. Inventory fluctuates some, but over all it continues low and keeps us in a market that favors sellers. In other words, if considering selling, YES it is a great time.

Comments – Over all not much change in the South Phoenix real estate market. It continues to be a seller market with low level of inventory at this point. Values are holding steady, and it continues to be a fantastic time to sell.
June 18th, 2018
Below are the most recent numbers, which will continue to show – Seller market:
206 active properties for sale
252 under contract
164 properties sold in last 30 days
1.25 months current inventory
$133.12 was average dollar a square foot for sold homes
$249,578 was average sale price
49 was average time to sell
Comments – Still a market that is very much in favor of the seller, as we continue with low inventory of homes. If you are currently on the market for sale, and are not getting activing that is likely for 2 reasons:
- Home is over priced
- Home is a higher priced home, and they do take longer to sell

June 11th, 2018
Find below latest real estate statistics for South Phoenix and some quick commentary follows:
210 active properties
251 properties under contract
168 properties sold last 30 days
1.25 months inventory
$132 was average $/sq ft for properties sold
$235,097 was average sale price
42 was average time to sell
Commentary – Inventory continues to remain low, and thus we continue in a seller market. Interestingly enough this weeks numbers show an increase of about 20 properties on the active market, and this has bumped our inventory up a smidgen. Not to worry sellers, it continues to be great time to sell, with well under 3 months inventory, which favors you the seller.
June 4th 2018
Find below the latest information on real estate in South Phoenix:
191 properties active and for sale
251 properties under contract
164 properties sold last 30 days
1.16 months current inventory
$132.38 was average $/sq foot
$231,411 was average sale price
48 was average time to sell
Commentary – As always, if you are considering selling make sure to look real close at values to similar homes, and price it correctly. The above shows how homes are selling fast, but really just the ones priced right. Currently active days on market is higher than average sale, and it is because many are priced above their true value.
May 29th 2018
Here is this weeks information:
186 properties for sale on the market at this time
258 properties under contract
162 sales in last 30 days
1.14 months inventory
$133.10 was average $/sq ft for sales
$234,177 was average sale price
47 was average time to sell
Comments –
We have 36% LESS homes for sale than at this time a year ago
11% increase in average $/sq foot from this time last year. THE POINT – it is a great time to sell. Inventory is low and values have now risen for 5 plus years. One constant is CHANGE – and this too may change.
May 21st 2018
197 properties for sale
246 properties under contract
179 properties sold in last 30 days
1.1 months inventory
$132.90 was average sale price/square foot
48 was average days to sell
$236,938 was average sale price
Comments – The inventory level went up in the last week just a smidgen. We have seen a couple more homes on market for the area, though nothing big. Number of closings went down a bit as well, and both of those account for reason we see increase of inventory. This is likely just a mid month thing, and we will likely see inventory go down again as we come to month end.
Translation – great time to sell.
May 14th, 2018
193 active homes for sale – little uptick
251 properties under contract
195 properties sold last 30 days
.98 months inventory
$131.74 was average $/sq ft
$232,125 was average sale price
51 was average time to sell

Comments – Well a couple of key take away’s from the above information. First is the seller market continues, and this is great for home owners looking to sell. Second is values have continued to rise slowly, which is also good for sellers.

281 properties under contract
155 properties sold last 30 days
1.35 months inventory
$132.43 was average $/sq ft
$223,477 was average sale price
55 was average time to sell
Comments – Some things to notice as we are rolling into the spring and summer, the level of inventory and reasons for the inventory level. First there is a good bit less active homes for sale than we have had in several months. Also, the number of closings is increasing a bit as we head into the busier months. Average $/sq foot sold has also increased in recent sales, and likely very much to do the low level of inventory and the demand to buy at this time. Keeping in mind to that interest rates are increasing, buyers may be making a push to buy before they are priced out of market…….maybe?
The short of it is, the south Phoenix market is still in a seller market. Inventory levels are low, and because of that, it continues to be a great time to sell.
March 26, 2018
Below is the latest information, and please excuse the absence for a month – was transferring my website to a new host.

1.79 months inventory
$130.98 was average $/sq ft
$224,376 was average sale price
60 was average days on market
Comments – The South Phoenix area is still going through a seller market, which means it is still a great time to sell. With a seller market inventory continues to be low, and buyers have less choices.
February 26th, 2018
256 active properties currently for sale in South Phoenix zip codes 85041,85042,85040
257 properties under contract
141 properties sold in last 30 days
1.815 is current inventory
$129.54 was average sale price per square foot
$236,513 was average sale price
71 was average time to sell
Commentary – Interesting how the average dollar a square foot in ALL of Phoenix is $167.35, yet that of South Phoenix is $129.54. This may not be a big surprise to many, but the South Phoenix and Laveen area, are great places to get MORE value when buying property.
Not much change in market, truth is no change. Values continue to increase slowly but steadily. We continue is a seller market, and with low inventory.
Great time to sell!

130 properties sold last 30 days
1.93 months inventory
$128.05 was average $/sq ft
$227,826 was average sale price
72 was average days to sell
Commentary – We still continue in a seller market, which has been the case for over a year. Actually, if you look back over my articles, you’ll also notice we have seen appreciation for over 4 years now. In all, the stats and numbers show that things continue the same. I do not foresee a change at this time, a seller market will continue with slow appreciation…..for the time being.
February 12th, 2018
Below find the latest information for South Phoenix home values, and market trends:
250 active properties for sale
232 properties currently under contract
130 properties have sold in last 30 days
1.92 current market inventory
$231,689 was average sale price for homes
$125.71 was average $/sq ft
70 was average time to sell
Commentary – Looking back to the start of 2017, we have not had any market other than a seller market. Values have increased slowly and steadily in that time as well. The lower inventory level has also made it a competitive market for buyers at the lower price range.
Buyers – I would recommend, buy and buy soon. Interest rates have started going up, and this can affect your monthly payments and your purchase power.
Sellers – Great time to sell, values have been on the increase 4 years plus now. Low inventory also plays in your favor.

Comments – Seller market continues, we have low levels of inventory. This continues to be a great time for home owners that are in need of selling. BUYERS – time is great to buy. I did get an email this morning from one of my preferred lenders which indicated that interest rates are going up. So if considering buying, get off the fence interest rates will soon likely affect your purchase power and monthly payments.

January 16th, 2018
Most recent update for our area of South Phoenix and the current real estate market and trends:
268 properties for sale

135 properties sold in last 30 days
1.98 months of inventory
58 days average time to sell
$227,631 was average sale price
$125 was average $/sq ft
Commentary – We saw a slight slow down over the last 30 days in the number of closings. This is usually the case during the holidays, and is very likely the reason we saw an increase in inventory. Chances are, we will see it level back out as number of sales increase coming out of the holiday season. Overall prices have been slowly appreciating, and all indicators show that trend should continue.

January 2nd, 2018 – Happy New Year

270 properties available for sale
189 properties under contract

1.73 is current inventory level
$129.11 was average dollar a square foot for sold properties

55 was average days to sell
Commentary – I don’t recall writing an update, so early in the year (1 day), and as of today “0” homes have sold in the South Phoenix and Laveen area to date. No worries, I’m sure we will have several by Friday.
We start the year, much as we left off, which is with a low level of inventory. The seller market continues for the time being.
Good time to sell? Yes it is.
