The turnaround in the direction of the market is enough to make your head spin. We now have 13 out of 17 cities improving for sellers, most of them at a very fast rate.
We note that the 4 cities that have not improved for sellers over the past month are all higher priced parts of the valley. All four of them have started improving for sellers over the past week or two. Paradise Valley remains in a balanced market but all the others are seller's markets.
Among the smaller cities we do have one example of a mild buyer's market - Sun City. The age restricted market has been hardest hit as a large percentage of their population is vulnerable to COVID-19 and many are probably sheltering in place.
The general market below $600,000 is now booming and supply is dropping very fast.
