Can you believe it’s already March?  The Valley is swarming with snowbirds and sports fans and with all of the poor weather conditions around the country more and more people seem to be eyeing the Phoenix area as a possible new home.  Let’s take a look at how the Paradise Valley real estate market faired in February.  New listings are down 8.1% from January with a total of 79 new listings vs. 86 in January.  The new listings in January were driven by homeowners waiting until after the holidays to list their home; it is typical for February numbers to be lower than January for this reason.  New contracts were up in February by 12% with 56 new listings and closed sales were down with January numbers at 34 closed sales. The median sale is up from $983,750 in January to $1,325,000 in February.  February closed with some motivating numbers – Sellers on the fence are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the low inventory and high demand!  During these up an d down activity months it is more important than ever to consult a real estate professional that knows the Paradise Valley market.
