Over the last month, the secondary cities have done better for sellers than the major cities. Despite the overall buyer’s market, green up arrows outnumber the red down arrows by 7 to 5. There is much more movement in the CMI values for these smaller cities than for the large cities we monitor every day and report on once a week. The reason for the volatility is the same as for any statistical set with a small sample size. Fewer contracts, sales, and listings mean each individual event has a larger impact.
We see a huge improvement in Gold Canyon and Sun Lakes (again) in favor of sellers over the last 4 weeks, while Tolleson has again seen a large move in favor of buyers. Most other changes are relatively small.
The reason for the large improvement in Gold Canyon and Sun Lakes is the big drop in active listings in both these areas. Many sellers take their homes off the market for the summer, and those who are left face much less competition.
We have 5 cities in seller’s markets with their CMI over 110, with 5 in buyer’s markets with CMI under 90. The remaining 2 are in a balanced market between 90 and 110.
