Based on feedback from several avid realty times readers, I am making an effort to provide more up to date information and keep it up to date on a more regular basis, as a professional Realtor in the market, I feel I owe it to those of you that are consistenly looking for accurate market conditions to provide that information to you as often as possible. Please feel free to email me direct kgagon@earthlink.net with requests of what you would like to see posted/updated here weekly/monthly here so that I can manage and update accordingly!
Chandler updated statistics: Updated May 31, 20101533 Active homes for sale, 607 Pending close of escrow, 432 Under contract with contingencies to close, 404 closed in may. Average closed price was $212,014. The average list to sales price ratio was 98%, Average marketing time of the closed sales was 96 days on the market. For overall market statistics keep reading.
In the most recent statistics update search and market analysis of the Arizona MLS as of May 31, 2010. Inventory is on a slow rise while pending sales and sales with contingencies continue to slowly decline. The preliminary estimate of closed sales for May is 8,392 and may adjust slightly higher or lower the first few days of May at which time I will be sure to update the number here to provide accurate nubers and information. April closings were slightly higher at 9,241, though I do expect to see a higher number of closings in June as a result of all the tax credit buyers that must close to meet the deadline of June 30th.
For a complete comparison of April to May numbers, read my April/May statistics blog on Trulia.com. As of 5/31/2010, Currently the active inventory of homes in the MLS for sale is at 33,528. The pending sales are at 13,041. Homes under contract with contingencies which make up a good portion of the homes that are contingent on short sale approval are at 7,880. And the closed sales for May again 8,392. The average closed sales price for May (which is not the median price) was $178,593 with an average days on the market of 95 and the list to sale price close ratio was 98%
Of the above numbers Bank/Lender/or corporate owned homes make up 5,343 of the active inventory, 4056 of the pending inventory, 244 of the homes under contract with contingencies, and 3,255 of the closed homes for May. The average closed sales price of these homes was lower at just $134,449 with an average days on the market of 74 and a list to sale price closed ratio of just under 100%. This is an indicator that homes that fall into the lender and bank owned category for the most part are selling at or above thier asking prices.
Of the total numbers Short Sale and preforeclosure properties make up 9041 of the active inventory, 4351 of the pending inventory, 7497 of the homes under contract with contingencies, and accounted for 1,722 of the closed sales for May at an average closed sales price of $163,319 with a list to sale ratio of approximately 98% and an average days on the market of 140.

Most recent ABC 15 News interview on market recovery May 19, 2010
In a recent article published by Money Magazine, Arizona Ranked as one of the top 5 states where recovery would take the longest with 51% of homeowners underwater or upside down in their homes. While there are many factors that must to be considered to identify full recovery, I was intervied by ABC 15 News for my opinion on the article and the recovery of Arizona. IIn my opinion it depends on how one defines recovery. If Recovery is defined as homes are selling supply and demand are not out of control asking prices and sales prices are within a 3-5% range than we have alread seen that. 2009 was the 3rd best year in Arizona for closed sales. 2010 is on a similar track. However if the defenition of recovery is that the prices are equal to that of the 2006 high we are at least 10-15 years away. You can watch the video interview piece at the link below.
If you are looking to buy or sell a home. Whether it is a new home a resale home, a short sale, or a bank owned home. ask the realtors you interview if they can get you massive internet, and television exposure. Why, because in today's market you need your home to stand out. Marketing and effective pricing are the two things that sell homes in todays real estate marketing. My cutting edge video marketing got me an interview with Christina Boomer of ABC 15 news and since then I have become the go to guy/realtor for real estate related storiesand advice or statistics for ABC 15 news. This type of exposure is crucial and so is being an expert in the field of real estate sales and understanding each aspect of the market (buying, selling, bank owned homes, short sale negotiations, new homes and more). Check out the latest story from 5/19/2010 done by Christina Boomer ABC 15 news, interviewing me regarding the market recovery of the Arizona real estate marketing at the link below. Call me with questions or for a free market analysis or consultation on your current situation whether you are an equity seller or upside down we can help you work through the financial hardship and get you on the road to recovery as soon as possible. If you have a Wachovia serviced mortgage, the short sale process is quick and easy with direct contact to the local area representative that gets approvals in less than 30 days on a typical short sale transaction!Thank you Kent

Wachovia approves short sales in 7-21 days w/ Fast track approval system!
Arizona residents with loans that are serviced by Wachovia Mortgage. If you have fallen behind on your loan you may qualify to do a short sale that can be approved in less than 30 days in most cases. We just got one approved in 19 calendar days from submission of the package to the letter of approval.
Also if you are one of the unfortunate few who have been hit with a financial hardship, first I am sorry and feel for you, and Wachovia may be willing to give you up to $2500 at close of escrow for moving costs. This is great news to all of you that want to avoid foreclosure and be able to buy another home again in apprximately 2 years according to new Fannie Mae guidelines released in April.
Wachovia only requires a handful of paperwork
1. a signed listing agreement with the Realtor of your choice
2. A signed purchase contract between buyer and seller
3. The LSR for the buyer or proof of funds if they are paying cash
4. A hardship letter or interview with the local Wachovia Short Sale representative.
5. The HUD 1 Settlement estimate that the Realtor can get from his/her title company.
That is is, no financial documents, no tax returns, no bank statements no nonsense. They have the system down and get approvals out quickly from their underwriting department. There are many benefits to you as the homeowner as already mentioned there may be financial incentive at closing for moving costs. The chances of losing your buyer in the short time frame it takes Wachovia to approve the sale is minimal unlike when dealing with other banks. They are realistic in closing dates on the approvals typically 45-60 days, and extensions or postponements of auction dates if you are close to that date can in most cases be changed with a 5 day notice.
Most other banks take anywhere from 30-180 days in fact I just talked to Aurora this week and they say if a short sale package is submitted in May it will get reviewed in October! Some that are getting easier to deal with and approving in short time frames include Chase, Wells Fargo, and Nationstar Mortgage. For more information on this or other real estate related issues contact me directly.

March Update
Just over one more month to find and have an accepted offer on a home to qualify for the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit that was extended in December 2009, or the $6500 second time move up home buyer that was added in December of 2009. Remember on the move up buyer credit, the value of the home does not have to be higher, the home has to be larger. All buyers that want to take advantage of these tax credit options must have an accepted contract by the end of April and Close by the end of June. Call me for more details.
Based on feedback from several avid realty times readers, I am making an effort to provide more up to date information and keep it up to date on a more regular basis, as a professional Realtor in the market, I feel I owe it to those of you that are consistenly looking for accurate market conditions to provide that information to you as often as possible. Please feel free to email me direct kgagon@earthlink.net with requests of what you would like to see posted/updated here weekly/monthly here so that I can manage and update accordingly!
With that said, the truth in the market is the Bank owned inventory and number of bank owned homes closing each month is dropping what does this mean? Well Bank owned homes use to make up between 60 and 80% of the sold homes. Now we are seeing a shift to more like 40 to 50% being bank owned and we are seeing more short sales getting approved and closing, this means that the banks are putting systems in place to get short sales approved in less time with less hassle, however, if you are either a buyer or seller, you need an experienced Realtor to represent you who knows, and has been working the short sale industry, not a novice or new agent. We have been doing short sales since 2003 before they became such a trend as the market shifted with lowered home values. We have negotiated and closed dozens of short sales and have established several relationships with negotiators/loss mitigations specialists at several of the large and some smaller banks therefore, If you or someone you know is falling behind on mortgage payments, and considering a short sale of their home to avoid foreclosure...please have them call me for a free, no obligation phone consultation and review of thier options...We are here to help, and respect the privacy of our clients, call me at 602-980-5368 to get started, we have an easy short sale system that is designed to get the fastest response possible by the banks.
Statistical market update as of March 22nd there are 37,056 homes for sale in the Arizona MLS, there are currently 13,652 pending sales, 7505 Under contract with contingencies, and 6424 closed in February.
Of these numbers 5,184 of the active inventory account for lender owned homes and 2,667 of the solds were bank owned.
Short sales account for 9,362 of the active inventory, and 1367 of the closed homes in February. For more detailed information on your specific neighborhood or community please contact me directly.
Based on the statistics from January 1, 2010 the average list to sell ratio is within 2% of the list price, with an average marketing to contract time of just 83 days.

Price your home to sell...Sell it in less than 2 weeks! Yes you read that correctly. Current MLS inventory is low enough that homes are selling almost as fast as they hit the market...assuming they are priced correctly! For information on your particular home or neighborhood, call or email me today!
Current MLS statistics show just over 35,000 homes actively for Sale. Over 12,000 pending sale, and over 6,600 closed in February! The average marketing time for homes in February was 83 days on the closed sales.
Looking at bank owned homes in Arizona? Think you are getting a great deal? What you are not looking at may suprise you! Right now the nice bank owned homes are selling so fast, and for over asking price in most cases. Why? Becasue everyone thinks they are at bargain prices. However, statistics from our MLS can show that traditional sales are selling at lower prices than many bank owned homes in many areas! Call me for more information and to start searching for the best deal on your next home!
I think most Realtors in Arizona will agree that we are at or near the bottom of the housing market price drops in most areas throughout the Phoenix Metro area. It appears as though the banks have wised up and are releasing their inventory slowly this way they are actually getting higher prices as they go, because of the interest created in the Bank owned homes! A quick note and thought to buyers, if you are using sites like realtor.com, homes,com, zillow.com etc to find homes that are available, by the time you call on them they may already be sold! Why? These are all IDX sites, Internet data exchange sites that require updating that can take 3 to 5 days on average. Not only that but when a home is in pending status in our mls, it still shows up as active on these sites. So the best way to get the most up to date and accurate information is to register with a realtor and get updated listings sent directly to you from the MLS as they are updated in real time and daily, this doesn't mean however that you will be the first one to see it. Call me for more information or to get registered for FREE on an automated search of homes just for you.

Current MLS statistics show just over 31000 homes actively for Sale. Over 12000 pending sale, and over 7800 closed in August!
ATTENTION! Buyers, Sellers and Investors...I am now offering another new product that will bring more buyers and sellers together. I have teamed up with Creative Alliances and the Rainy Day Foundation to offer the H.E.L.P program. This is a 24 month job loss protection program that will aid the buyer with making mortgage payments for up to 6 Months at a maximum of $1800 in the event of a job loss. For more information please contact me directly!
Looking at bank owned homes in Arizona? Think you are getting a great deal? What you are not looking at may suprise you! Right now the nice bank owned homes are selling so fast, and for over asking price in most cases. Why? Becasue everyone thinks they are at bargain prices. However, statistics from our MLS can show that traditional sales are selling at lower prices than many bank owned homes in many areas! Call me for more information and to start searching for the best deal on your next home!
I think most Realtors in Arizona will agree that we are at or near the bottom of the housing market price drops in most areas throughout the Phoenix Metro area. It appears as though the banks have wised up and are releasing their inventory slowly this way they are actually getting higher prices as they go, because of the interest created in the Bank owned homes! A quick note and thought to buyers, if you are using sites like realtor.com, homes,com, zillow.com etc to find homes that are available, by the time you call on them they may already be sold! Why? These are all IDX sites, Internet data exchange sites that require updating that can take 3 to 5 days on average. Not only that but when a home is in pending status in our mls, it still shows up as active on these sites. So the best way to get the most up to date and accurate information is to register with a realtor and get updated listings sent directly to you from the MLS as they are updated in real time and daily, this doesn't mean however that you will be the first one to see it. Call me for more information or to get registered for FREE on an automated search of homes just for you.
Available MLS home inventory drops to just over 31000 while closed sales are over 9000 a month, that gives us just over a 3 month supply of homes on the market throughout the Maricopa and Pinal County areas! So what is being published in the news is definately not the full story! Remember it is national news! Plus BANK/LENDER & REO OWNED HOMES ARE SELLING VERY FAST and FOR OVER ASKING PRICES IN MANY CASES!
We are now getting 1st access to bank listings before they hit the market from both Countrywide and Nationstar bank, call to get added to our list of buyers for these premarket homes today!!

Yes the average sales price was considerable lower but that allowed many of the first time buyers back into the real estate market. Active inventory is hovering just above the 33,000 mark.
