Spring is still in full swing and creating more properties on the market as well as more sales! This month the market looks particularly good in the south east valley in Chandler, Gilbert, and Mesa. Even though these cities have more active listings on the market, they are still increasing in average price per square foot, have higher listing success rates, and on average less days on market, all wonderful news for sellers!

Below are some market updates for different cities in the Valley to keep you in the loop on how YOUR property values are changing:

More houses for sale equals more competition with other listings.

Listing success rates dropped a bit this month and are at 79.8% compared to 80.4% last month (this could also be because there are more listings active on the market!). The average sales price is $198,112 with an average size of sold listings being 2,026 square feet.
