(24:10) Find out the latest about the AZ Real Estate Market thanks to our friends at the Cromford Report.

The sellers market continues. We have low supply in the Valley and it's getting worse. We have had the lowest number of active listings at the end of 2021 that has ever been recorded.

Looking at this month, January, compared to a year ago. We are down 4.5% in active listings from 2021. Down over 15% in supply from last month.

The monthly average sales price per square foot is $267.31. That's up 28% from last January and just over 1% from last month.

Our monthly median sales price sits at $425,000.

Last year, at this time, it was $332,000. That's up 28%.

To those that continue to think the market is cooling off, the real world data does not agree.

The housing market heated up in the last 10 weeks of 2021 and starts 2022 with a huge excess of demand over supply. This is not because of colossal demand.

It is because of the unusually low supply.

We normally see a strong flow of new listings in January while buyers tend to stay quiet until February. It's too early to tell if that will occur in 2022.

It did NOT occur in 2021 and this was a striking reminder that the market was abnormal.

In the next 4 weeks we will find out if the market remains in an abnormal state.

Prices continued to advance during December, more than 1% higher over the month. It would be surprising if we don't see at least a 3% increase over the next 3 months.

The Cromford report says its money woul be on a move in excess of this, but nobody knows for sure what the future will bring, and the market continues to spring surprises on everyone.

HERE WE GROW AGAIN!

Join Diane Brennan with Coldwell Banker, Ashleigh Herman with Realty One Group, Justin Volpone with Bay Equity Home Loans and Mary Van Alstyne with Landmark Title. On Own It Girl, we talk about the loud New Year's Eve this year, pew pew pew. Update on Diane's red light therapy order disaster and her new sleeping habits. She goes over some of the tips. Learn what to do if you get bumped off your flight. We follow erika @erikakullberg, a lawyer on TikTok and she says what this is called is

"Involuntary Denied Boarding." According to the Department of Transportation, if the next flight the airline can get you on results in over a 2 hour delay,

the passenger is entitled to 4 times for the one way fare. So your one way flight is $250. You are entitled to $1000. We also discuss which stores have really good return policies. We have an update on Arizona's real estate market. Still a sellers' market.

And here's some advice if you're working with a Realtor. Make sure they are doing the following: 1. Preparing an appraisal package for the Appraiser 2. Meeting appraiser at the property (if appraiser allows) 3. Make sure your agent is presenting you with all offers 4. Make sure your agent is returning all phone calls and inquiries about the property.
