<p>Visit our web site at <strong><a title="Rick Pacella and Barb Savoy-Pacella, Arizona real estate agents" href="http://www.PacellaGroup.com" target="_blank">www.PacellaGroup.com</a> </strong>to view property listings, or for additional information.</p>
<p><strong>For those who like good news/bad news scenarios, you will enjoy this week&#8217;s report&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The good news</strong> is that we have seen a steady decline in the percentage of inventory of foreclosure property over the past several weeks (currently foreclosures make up just 14% of the active inventory). The other good news is that although we have been hearing for some time that another wave of foreclosures is imminent, according to Net Value Central, of the properties currently owned by the bank that are not yet on the market, the vast majority is comprised of vacant land that went back to the banks after builder failures, rather than residential resale homes.</p>
<p><strong>The bad news</strong> is that foreclosures overall still seem to be the only segment of the market seeing a price per square foot increase with short sales and seller owned properties still seeing declines.</p>
<p><strong>CURRENT CONDITIONS IN THE PHOENIX MARKET:</strong></p>
<p>There are 24,061 single family detached listings actively on the market today. That is a decrease of 9 listings for the week.</p>
<p>Total listings, including <em>condos, patio homes, and town homes</em> active in MLS today are 31,339.</p>
<p>For absorption rate information and months of available supply for a specific area in the Valley, please contact us at <strong><a title="Rick Pacella and Barb Savoy-Pacella, Arizona real estate agents" href="http://www.PacellaGroup.com" target="_blank">www.PacellaGroup.com</a></strong></p>

<p><strong>The real estate roller coaster</strong> appears to have fewer terrifying drops recently.</p>
<p><strong>According to the Cromford Report,</strong> seller owned transactions have seen a price decline per square foot in the past several weeks, although they only comprise 20% of the sales. Once again, this week the price per square foot for foreclosed properties seems to be increasing, however, this week the price per square foot for short sales seems to be declining slightly, after remaining relatively flat for the past few weeks.</p>
<p>It appears that the rate of notice of trustee sales has been significantly lower for the month of August than it had been in June and July, which will hopefully equate to further stabilization in the market. We are heading into what is traditionally the slowest time of year for real estate sales in the Phoenix Metro area, so we will have to wait and see&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>CURRENT CONDITIONS IN THE PHOENIX MARKET:</strong></p>
<p>There are 24,070 single family detached listings actively on the market today. That is a decrease of 139 listings for the week.</p>
<p>Total listings, <em>including condos, patio homes, and town homes</em> active in MLS today are 31,312.</p>
<p>Areas in the Valley that were hardest hit by foreclosures are still seeing a tremendous amount of activity with many properties receiving multiple offers and selling<em> above list price</em>.</p>
