Monthly Flagstaff Homes Sales Report – February 2018 Flagstaff Homes Sales
We finally had a moment to sit down and crunch the sales report for February. We apologize for the delay as we try to get them out earlier in the month. The 36 single family home sales for February was down significantly from January of this year (64) and below February 2017 sales of 44. We strongly believe the number one factor in the decrease in sales volume is related to the extremely low inventory levels in the $400,000 and under price ranges.
Our Flagstaff market is seeing major stress in these price ranges with buyers experiencing bidding wars and frustration in lack of homes on the market. Even with a short month, there is little doubt we would have higher numbers with a healthy supply. Sellers, THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO SELL! Pending home sales for the Flagstaff area are solid with 146 single family homes under contract.
We are watching interests rates and are a little cautious on how the anticipated mortgage rate increase will affect our local market. With sales prices at all time highs, affordability is becoming more of an issue for potential Flagstaff home buyers. This also has an impact for buyers who are contemplating moving up to a larger, more expensive home.
The condo and townhome markets were strong this month with 17 townhomes sold and 36 condos changing hands.
