Flagstaff Home Sales Slide, Prices Down from a Year Earlier

 

The summer selling season may be starting to taper off as July saw Flagstaff home sales down from June. This decline was tied to a 25% drop in new listings going on the market. However, inventory is still up 3% from the previous month, and demand for houses is still strong. Here's the most recent update. 

 

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES

US Existing-Home Sales Slipped 2.2% in July while Greater Flagstaff's housing sales retreated by 26% from the previous month according to data released by the Northern Arizona MLS. One hundred and twenty-eight homes were sold in July, representing a 7.9% decline from the prior year. 

 

 

"Two factors are driving current sales activity – inventory availability and mortgage rates. Unfortunately, both have been unfavorable to buyers." said National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.

The Broaddus Properties Group listed and sold: seven Flagstaff homes in July; valued at over $4.5 million.  

 

FLAGSTAFF MEDIAN HOME PRICE

"The median list-to-sales ratio for this area is 98.8%." List to Sales Ratio is the percentage of the list price that the buyer paid for the property. 

Flagstaff sold median home price in July 2023 is flat at -0.1% vs June this year. It dropped 4.5% year on year to $697,000, from $730,000 the previous year. The median sale price measures the ‘middle’ price of homes that sold, meaning that half of the homes sold for a higher price and half sold for less . . . For example, if more lower-priced homes have sold recently, the median sale price would decline (because the “middle” home is now a lower-priced home), even if the value of each individual home is rising.

Homes remained on the market for a median of 48 days, which means homes sold 5 days faster vs the same period last year, and faster than the 51 days we saw in June.

CDOM The acronym CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) is used by the Flagstaff MLS to describe how many days a property has been available for sale. A property must be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if a different agent lists it. We report the average days on the market for properties sold based on CDOM.

The number of days a home sits on the market can tell us a lot about pricing. A high CDOM is commonly a strong indicator that the home is overpriced.

Flagstaff Home Seller Advice 

Let's talk about how to get a better knowledge of home price trends and reports.  Just because the median home sales price changes, it doesn’t mean home prices are falling. 

The median home sales price is not a perfect indicator of the overall health of the housing market. It can be affected by a number of factors, including the mix of homes being sold, affordability, and current mortgage rates. For example, if there is an increase in the number of high-priced homes being sold, the median home sales price will go up even if the overall number of homes sold remains the same. Similarly, if mortgage rates go up, fewer people will be able to afford to buy homes, which could lead to a decrease in the median home sales price.
