Median Sales Price and Estimated Monthly Payment by Region

About this chart

This chart sets the median sales price beside the estimated monthly payment needed to buy a home at that price, measured every week, with the 30-year fixed mortgage rate (Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®) in the panel below. It shows how affordability changes as both prices and rates move.

The default view is single-family resale homes of every size over the last four years. The payment assumes 20% down, a 30-year loan, and taxes and insurance of 1.2% of the sales price a year. The Payment panel changes the assumptions, and Reset assumptions puts them back.

It opens with every region included. Use the Region panel to focus on one region or compare a combination of them. Narrow it with the Dwelling Type, Transaction Type, and New / Resale boxes and the sales price and home size sliders. The 1 yr, 3 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr, and Full range buttons set the stretch of history shown.

Trustee Sales by City and ZIP Code

About this chart

This chart counts the Trustee’s Deeds recorded each month: the deed recorded after a foreclosure auction. Each bar is split by what happened at the auction: the home reverted to the lender (beneficiary), sold to a third party, or the outcome was not recorded.

It opens on Maricopa and Pinal Counties (records from 2002). Cochise, Coconino, Mohave, Santa Cruz, and Yavapai Counties can be added; each shows the year its records begin. Vacant land and commercial property are left out by default.

Use the County, City, and ZIP panels to focus on any area. Narrow it with the Outcome and Property Type boxes and the sale price, loan amount, home size, and year built sliders. Use the date slider, or Full range, to choose the stretch of history shown.

Notices of Trustee Sale by Region

About this chart

This chart counts the Notices of Trustee Sale recorded each month: the document a lender records when it starts to foreclose on a home. Many are later canceled, for example when the owner sells or catches up on payments, so this is an early sign of distress rather than a count of foreclosures.

Records run from 1996. Vacant land and commercial property are left out by default.

Use the Region panel to focus on one region or a combination of them. Narrow it with the Property Type box and the loan amount, home size, and year built sliders. Use the date slider, or Full range, to choose the stretch of history shown.

The Cromford® Market Index as a Predictor of Future Annual Price Appreciation

About this chart

This chart sets the Cromford® Market Index beside annual appreciation for the whole ARMLS market, all areas and all dwelling types, one reading on the 1st of each month since January 2002, with the rate of inflation (Consumer Price Index) alongside. It shows how a shift in the balance between buyers and sellers has been followed by a change in prices.

A reading below 90 indicates a buyer’s market, above 110 a seller’s market, and between 90 and 110 a balanced market. Appreciation is the change in the average sales price per square foot over the last 12 months compared with a year earlier.

The options label the minimum, maximum, and latest values and switch the Market Index to a logarithmic axis. Use the date slider, or Full range, to choose the stretch of history shown. Hover over the chart to see the figures for that month.
