Sunday Stats

Last month we heard rumblings about the REO engine revving back to life, and I was worried this month’s numbers might show a large spike upward.  Spike upward – yes.  Large spike – not so much.

new distressed listings in Maricopa County

Looks like we’re still hovering around the 5,000 mark; I don’t expect to see many changes this year..

Note:  I’m pulling all new distressed listings from the MLS, regardless of their current status (active, sold, etc.) I’m looking at Single Family Detached homes in Maricopa County, with some sort of bank involvement - Short Sales, Pre Foreclosures, Auctions, and Lender-Owned properties.  Numbers are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed.

Your waiting patiently for change Realtor,

2009 ended with 5 months in a row of a trend in the right direction. (The red trend-line represents a moving 3-month average.)

“Word on the street” is, after being slow in the 4th quarter, the banks’ listing agents are getting busy again.  Unfortunately, I’m expecting next month’s numbers to buck the current trend..

Your hoping the street is wrong Realtor,

New Distressed Listings by Month – November, 2009

by Chris Butterworth December 18, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

I’m a little later than usual with last month’s numbers.  I wish I had some big news where I could say the numbers were worth the wait, but I can’t.  It looks like we’re simply treading water.  (What’s even worse is we’ve been beaten down so badly be the news of the last couple years [...]

New Distressed Listings by Month – October 2009

by Chris Butterworth November 2, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

The Bad News – October’s numbers are still hovering around the 5,000 mark, way too high to drive us into recovery mode.
The Good News – we just saw the lowest number of new distressed listings to hit the market this year, and the rolling 3-month average is showing a nice downward trend.
Am I seeing good [...]

New Distressed Listings by Month - September 2009

by Chris Butterworth October 8, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

Each month as I go to pull numbers from the MLS and create this chart, I’m always hoping to see some tapering off in the number of new distressed listings hitting the market. Not this month, however – it looks a little like status quo to me.
Good news is status quo is a lot [...]

Sunday Stats, Sept 7 2009

by Heather September 7, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

Another installment of the Sunday Stats, on Monday this week. Since it’s the Labor Day holiday – which we ironically celebrate by taking a holiday – today feels like Sunday, tomorrow Tuesday will feel like Monday for most of us, and when Friday arrives in 4 days instead of 5 it’ll be a great treat.

New Distressed Listings by Month – August 2009

by Chris Butterworth September 4, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

A big dip in the number of new distressed listings this month.  I’m always hopeful it’s a sign of things to come (the eternal optimist in me).  But the last couple of years has shown us plenty of “lights at the end of the tunnel” which have turned out to be oncoming trains!
The first chart [...]

Sunday Stats, August 16

by Heather August 17, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

(click pic to embiggen; back to return)
So these are the stats for this Sunday in sunny, hot metro Phoenix Arizona.
Made a change this week. I’m now counting properties coded “AWC” as “pending” instead of counting them with the “Active” (i.e. for sale) properties as I had been doing. Why? Read this post from a [...]

New Distressed Listings by Month – July 2009

by Chris Butterworth August 10, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

Wow.  These are strange times we’re living in.  We’ve been writing a lot lately about how fast the market is moving, how it has turned into a seller’s market in many price ranges, and how there aren’t enough listings to satisfy all the buyers out there.  Yet the number of new distressed listings hitting the [...]

Sunday Stats

by Heather July 12, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

To mix it up from the usual Sunday Stats, I’m posting a SnagIt picture from a Cromford Report analysis of the Valley’s real estate market.
This chart shows only bank-owned homes (commonly called “REOs”) sold through the Multiple Listing Service.

The numbers that caught my eye tonight are the number of Active [...]

2nd Quarter sales at Record Levels

by Chris Butterworth July 6, 2009 Market Analysis & Stats

The strong-sales trend continues.
Last month I wrote about May’s sales numbers approaching record numbers.  Last week we talked about the number of foreclosures hitting the market, and Dean Ouellette gave us additional insight about the brisk pace of sales (see the comments).
This morning I pulled MLS data through the end of June, and it looks [...]
