Before we get into the Chandler Real Estate Market Report in February 2020, I have a commentary written by Tina Tamboer. She is the Senior Housing Analyst with the Cromford report. She was nice enough to let us use her summary of the Greater Phoenix Metro area as a backdrop for what is happening in Chandler this month. Here is her commentary…….
The Greater Phoenix Metro Summary Analysis Real Estate Market Report
MLS Luxury Sales Over $1M Up 52% in January
Supply Between $200K-$250K Down 60%
For Buyers:
Supply continues to drop as the market heats up with the seasonal rush of Buyers. Typically, we would see supply rising at this time of year as January is a strong month for new listings to hit the market.
However, this year’s new listings year-to-date are down 17% from last year and January 2020 had the lowest number of new listings recorded going all the way back to 2001. Combine this with a 21% increase in sales volume and the 4th highest January recorded for MLS sales, and it’s no surprise that supply is plummeting.
While supply is down in all price points, it’s felt the most between $200K – 250K. Supply in this price range is nearly 60% lower than this time last year and a quarter of sales in the last 3 months have recorded over asking price.
Seller-paid closing cost concessions are also down. Nearly 22% of all sales in the 1st Quarter to date have included some form of seller-paid or assisted closing costs. That’s the lowest percentage recorded in nearly 5 years.
For Sellers:
The luxury market continues to go gangbusters in 2020. Sales over $1 Million in 2019 outperformed 2018 by 10%, which makes it the #1 year for in Greater Phoenix in this price range. January closings were up 52% in this price and listings under contract are up 43%.
With all this demand, one would think price appreciation would be rising significantly however that hasn’t happened yet. The average sales price per square foot between $1M-$2M has only appreciated 1% while those between $2M-$3M have appreciated 0.2% and those over $3M have increased 6%. The current appreciation rate per square foot is between 8-9% for Greater Phoenix as a whole.

What does this mean if you are a Seller or a Buyer?
Real Estate Market Report
As the chart above shows, Inventory in Chandler remains extremely low at 1.09 months of inventory. This is slightly higher than last month’s .89, but still extremely low. Sellers currently have a continued advantage due to such a low number of Homes available on the Market.
Buyers will have to look to make offers that are very competitive in price along with as few contingencies as possible. Buyers should be ready to react quickly when they see a home they want to place an offer on so to beat out the competition.
However, don’t forget to check comparable sales to make sure that the home is priced correctly. You also may want to have your agent talk with the sellers’ agent to see if there are any specific terms that the seller is looking for. You can then shape your offer in the most favorable way possible.
