Days on Market (DOM)

The Average Days on Market in April was 32. This is a 5-day decrease from the previous month and a 19-day decrease from April 2020, again proving the market is in no state to slow down. The drop in DOM is a result of steady demand and low inventory. Any homes on the market are selling rapidly.

A Message From Wayne Graham, Head of Real Estate

“Phoenix’s highest sales volume ever recorded was in May 2019 with 10,341 home sales. As our sales volume continues to steadily increase in the Valley, residents can expect to see record breaking home sales this summer.”
