The report is a guide to the luxury real estate market in North America and Flagstaff. It provides an overall analysis with trends and highlights comparative data on the top-residential markets throughout Canada and the United States.
This month’s report displays the market statistics for North America and Flagstaff month over month as well as the 13-month trend.
The luxury real estate market is wrapping up 2024 on a high note, with November data highlighting resilience after mid-year fluctuations.
October’s inventory growth and September’s interest rate cuts spurred notable sales increases. While November saw the usual seasonal slowdown, year-over-year metrics increased significantly, especially for sales.
North America Sales Growth: Single-family home sales rose 22.5% year-over-year in November, while attached homes grew by 7.7%.
Flagstaff Sales Growth: Single-family home sales rose 27% year-over-year in November.
North America Inventory: New listings entering the marketing increased by 8.3% for single-family homes and 7.0% for attached properties, signaling renewed seller confidence.
North America Prices: Median sold prices for single-family homes climbed 3.6% year-over-year. Flagstaff: Median sold prices for single-family homes declined 3.4% year-over-year.
Although attached properties saw a slight 1.5% decline, the overall market remains optimistic heading into 2025.
Interest rates are trending downward. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates further in December to 4.25%, with the potential of reaching 3.5% by late 2025.
Similarly, Canada’s central bank is expected to reduce their interest rate in December by 25 to 50 basis points and aims for a 2.25% rate by next year’s end in 2025.
Affluent buyers remain active, prioritizing sustainability, wellness amenities, and turnkey readiness in luxury properties.
Many view these homes as stable, long-term investments and are seeking properties that will meet both current and future needs as well as serve as a hedge against inflation and economic or stock market volatility.
While inventory constraints persist despite the uptick both overall and for new listings entering the market, buyers are patient, seeking properties that align with their specific needs.

Some of the best shops and events you need to know about in Flagstaff.
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for a new place to visit in Flagstaff, especially around the holidays. That’s why today, I’m taking you through some great local spots in our town and sharing a few fun holiday events for you and your family. Let’s get into it!
First, I have to talk about Heritage Square. This is the heart of downtown Flagstaff, and there are so many great shops here that it’s hard to keep track. For example, MIX is an amazing coffee shop, while Flagstaff Chocolates and Black Hound Gallery could be destinations for Christmas shoppers looking to give a little local touch.
Next, you need to know about the Winter Wonderland and Tree Lighting event that will take place in Heritage Square on December 7 starting at 2:30 p.m. This event is free, family friendly, and tons of fun!
"Our town is full of wonderful holiday things to do for the whole family."
If you’re looking for a fun place to take the kids, check out the Breakfast with Santa event at the Weatherford Hotel, also on December 7, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. There will be an incredible breakfast buffet and a visit from the jolly old man himself, so don’t miss out!
While we’re already in the middle of December, it’s not too late to get in on the Window Decorating Contest, which takes place throughout the month in downtown Flagstaff. Different businesses will decorate their windows, and we get to vote on which one is the best!
Next, you should check out Warner’s Nursery this holiday season. They have the usual selection of great coffee and wonderful gifts, but this time of year, it’s all holiday themed. Nearby, you can even stop at Diablo Burger for lunch, which we definitely didn’t pass up.
Hopefully, this just puts into perspective how many wonderful things there are to do in Flagstaff. As always, you can call or email me with any questions about real estate, Flagstaff, or whatever else. I look forward to hearing from you!

Flagstaff Real Estate: A Thriving Market This Fall
October 2024 delivered exciting news for the Flagstaff real estate market. While fall typically signals a seasonal slowdown, this year proved different. With home sales increasing by 10.5%, faster transactions, and steady price growth, Flagstaff is heating up just in time for the holidays!
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or preparing to sell, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions. Let’s break down the data, explore key market drivers, and provide actionable advice for navigating this dynamic market.
Key Highlights of October 2024
Here’s a snapshot of what made October stand out:
Home Sales Surge: 137 homes sold, up 10.5% year-over-year.
Median Home Price: $720,000, a 14.3% increase from October 2023.
Days on Market (DOM): Median sales time dropped to 56 days, 15 days faster than last year.
Luxury Market: High-end homes reached a median price of $1,572,500, with strong activity in the $2.9M–$3.2M range.
Flagstaff Inventory Snapshot: October 2024
The Flagstaff real estate market offered buyers plenty of options this October, with inventory levels reflecting a balanced, albeit selective, market.Here’s a breakdown:
Active Listings: 622 homes were actively listed for sale.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers: Ample inventory means you have a variety of choices. With an absorption rate of 4.52 months, you also have some negotiating power, especially in higher price ranges.
For Sellers: Homes priced strategically and in good condition are moving faster. The median days on market for sold properties in the last 6 months is 60 days, compared to 77 days for active listings—proving the importance of competitive pricing.
Hot Price Ranges
$600K - $800K: This segment remains the most active, with 78 active listings and leading sales in the past six months. However, 49 off-market listings in this range highlight the need for competitive pricing.
Flagstaff Home Sales are Up
Flagstaff saw a 23.4% increase in home sales compared to September, with 137 homes sold—a major leap from the October 2022 total of 102 homes. While we’re still a bit shy of the 2020 record of 223 homes sold in October, this rebound signals a positive shift in the market.
For context, U.S. existing-home sales rose 3.4% nationally in October, marking the first year-over-year gain since July 2021. With inventory ticking up and economic conditions remaining strong, buyers are taking advantage of the opportunities.
Flagstaff Home Sales Breakdown by Property Type
Flagstaff's real estate market showed varied performance across property types, with single-family homes and townhomes driving much of the growth.
Single-Family Homes: 92 sold, a 33.3% increase from October 2023.
Townhomes: 25 sold, up an impressive 78.6%, reflecting growing demand for versatile housing options.
Condos: 10 sold, down 60.0%, possibly due to limited inventory or changing buyer preferences.
Other Property Types: 10 sold, down 37.5%, highlighting narrower demand for niche properties.
This data underscores the strength of Flagstaff’s single-family and townhome markets, offering excellent opportunities for buyers and sellers alike.
Median Home Prices Show Balance with Faster Sales
October’s median home price in Flagstaff landed at $720,000, reflecting a 14.3% year-over-year increase from October 2023’s $630,000. However, prices dipped slightly, down 4% from September, as more lower-priced homes entered the market.
Homes sold faster this month, with the median days on market (DOM) dropping to 56 days, a significant improvement from 71 days in October 2023 and 59 days in September 2024. This faster turnover indicates strong buyer demand, even as the market sees a greater mix of lower-priced homes.
This trend underscores the importance of looking beyond the headline price. Median sale prices can shift based on the mix of homes sold, even if individual home values remain strong. While buyers may find more affordable options due to expanded inventory, sellers—especially those in higher price brackets—can still capitalize on robust demand and quicker transactions.
Whether you're looking to sell or buy, understanding these market dynamics can help you make the right moves in Flagstaff's competitive real estate landscape.

Chief Economist Lawrence Yun of the National Association of Realtors explains: "The worst of the downturn in home sales could be over, with increasing inventory leading to more transactions. Job gains and economic growth are fueling housing demand, and while mortgage rates remain elevated, they are expected to stabilize in 2024."
Flagstaff reflects these national trends, with rising inventory, economic stability, and growing demand driving activity. Buyers and sellers alike can benefit from these favorable conditions.
Mortgage rates:According to Bankrate.com, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate averaged 6.94 percent for the fourth week of November. It increased in recent weeks. For now, the consensus is that mortgage rates will ease down in 2024.

Explore Co-Buying for More Options
Co-buying is an emerging trend that allows buyers to share costs and responsibilities, making homeownership more accessible.
Benefits: Afford a larger home, reduce upfront costs, and share monthly payments.
Tip: Plan ahead by creating agreements on finances and responsibilities.
Feeling like homeownership is out of reach with today’s high prices and rates? Co-buying might be the answer! Teaming up with friends or family allows you to share costs like down payments and monthly payments, making homeownership more affordable. Plus, pooling resources can mean a bigger or better home in a dream neighborhood. Nearly 15% of Americans are already co-buying, and it’s gaining popularity fast. Just be sure to plan ahead—agree on responsibilities, finances, and what happens if someone wants to sell their share later. Co-buying could be your key to owning a home sooner!
