April Home Sales Fall Off, Inventory Remains Tight

Sales of existing homes fell notably in April as inventory rose slightly and prices were all over the ballpark. However, the broader price trend has been upward, locally and nationally, for several years.

Across NoPho, the I-17 corridor from Norterra to New River, sales fell from 207 in March to 158 in April, a 24 percent decline. The April tally was 13 percent below April 2017. Sales fell in every zone except the Norterra area.

Inventory—a measure of homes available given the current sales pace—rose slightly in four of five zones, tightening only in Desert Hills and New River. However, inventory remained below the six-month mark in every zone. Anything less than six months is considered a sellers’ market.
