The Phoenix-area real estate market’s three-month experiment with stasis came to an abrupt end in October: Although sales levels were normal, as compared with October 2003, the most-recent October before the real estate boom, both asking and selling prices dropped precipitously among the homes tracked in the October 2006 edition of <\/a>the BloodhoundRealty.com Market-Basket of Homes.<\/p>\n

Average prices for Market Basket homes in October were down 4.07%, compared to September, a difference of $10,327. Year-over-year, prices are down 7.97%, and down 9.88% from the December 2005 high. Prices in October were strongly affected by deep discounting by new home builders. Even so, two-year appreciation on an average Market Basket home is 38.21%. Three-year appreciation is 63.15%.<\/p>\n

A total of 162 sales were recorded, down from September’s total of 183. Market-Basket homes spent an average of 103 days on market, 3 days more than in September. For comparison purposes, 149 Market Basket homes sold in October of 2003, the last relatively normal year, in an average of 54 days.<\/p>\n

As has been the case in recent months, many Market-Basket homes are selling at or above list price. A few deeply-discounted properties pulled down the average – most notably deeply discounted builder’s spec homes. Average discounting netted out to 1.96%, down from 2.03% in September.<\/p>\n

Inventories of available Market Basket homes continue their decline. There are now 1,229 homes available for sale in the Market-Basket, where there were 1,337 in September, 1,406 in August and 1,506 in July. With sales of 162 homes, the implied absorption rate is 7.58 months, up from 7.31 months in September, but down significantly from almost 10 months in July. A six-month absorption rate is considered normal. The number of homes listed as “Sale Pending” is 191, up from 165 in September.<\/p>\n

Based on the idea of the Consumer Price Index market-basket of goods and services, the Market-Basket of Homes uses average sales prices for a small subset of all Valley home sales to get a clearer idea of what is happening in the middle of the bell curve.
