Flagstaff Home Buyer Advice
Prices are going to continue to appreciate. Mortgage rates are going to continue to go up.

Housing supply traditionally shrinks at this time of year, so the choices buyers have will be limited. Inventory level for starter homes is down a bit vs last month and is still far from what is needed to satisfy the demand for affordable/starter home where homebuyer demand is strongest.
- $200k- $400K, inventory is 13% lower vs last month, less than 3 months supply. It's a seller's market at this price range. A balanced market has 6 months supply of homes for sale.
- $400K- $500K, down by 18 %, only 3 months supply.
- Above $500K, we have over 6 months of supply. No shortage here. Oversupply is highest at $1M - $1.1M and $1.2M - $1.3M

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 has to be off the MLS for at least 90 days for the CDOM to restart, even if it is listed by a different agent. We report the average days on 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.
