Pending and Current Home Sales in Flagstaff, AZ January 2021

Pending Home Sales in Flagstaff, AZ

There are currently 157 pending home sales in the Flagstaff area, staying relatively even throughout the beginning months of 2021. The lack of inventory continues to strain our market for the many active buyers still trying to secure a home in a very competitive market. As of March 3rd, there are 36 active single family homes on the mls. This is causing a strain on the market that does not seem likely to change in the near future. We have seen an ever-so-slight bump in new listings as of March 1st and hope this continues as we enter into our seasonally busy market of spring and summer.

While this may not be of comfort for Buyers, nationally the real estate market is experiencing the same challenges due to lack of inventory. Lawrence Yun, Chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) announced a 2.8% decrease in pending sales from December to January. Yun went on to say “pending home sales fell in January because there are simply not enough homes to match the demand on the market.” Like Flagstaff, much of the rest of the country typically sees more homes hit the market in the spring and summer months. Yun anticipates a slight bump in new home construction to assist with the inventory levels as well. Here is a link to NAR’s pending home sales report for January.
