Real Estate Market Statistics April 2014 – Phoenix, Arizona

 

Monthly home sales for Phoenix, Arizona April 2014

As predicted last month, the sales for resale real estate increased in March by close to 23% month over month.  Year over year numbers are down by about 18%, which is also in line with last months numbers.  We should see a decent increase in monthly sales again next month.

29,939 total homes were on the market in Phoenix at the time of this publication.  We’ll be able to see more in the coming months, as to how the total inventory increase plays out.  It does appear at this point that we have a slowing of the increase in total resale inventory.
