Phoenix tops in April home sales- True or False?
May 26th, 2008 categories: Market Statistics, Real Estate News
This is what azcentral.com is reporting. According to the article there were 4061 homes sold in Phoenix, with Mesa coming in second, followed by a close third from Scottsdale. They pulled data from April 1 to April 24 (not sure why they did not look at April 1- April 30)
With the recent article and fall out that ensued- regarding homes sales in April from Jay Butler- in which he included trustee sales, I looked at the data from ARMLS for home sales in Phoenix (the City of Phoenix) from April 1 to April 24, to see how the numbers compare:
Well maybe they have a typo- I looked at all dwelling types (SFH, condos, lofts etc) and ARMLS reports 633 sold properties in Phoenix, Mesa shows 300 homes sales and Scottsdale, according to ARML’s data shows 295 homes sold.
The number of sales in all areas that ARMLS serves which included Maricopa and Pinal counties and cities such as far reaching as Wickenburg- the total number of closed sales was 3223.
