Bullhead City Real Estate Comeback Continues

Last month I reported that Bullhead City home sales were up 66% from the previous December, closing out 2009 with a strong finish. That momentum has carried over into the new year and 2010 is off to a great start.

There were 63 homes sold in January compared to 45 homes a year ago, making it 15 months in a row that the number of homes sold has been greater than the year before.

Keep a very close eye on prices. The pace of sales is picking up everyday as our inventory of homes for sale continues to drop. There were 683 homes on the market this morning, the lowest number I have seen in a full four years.

The stats:

Fort Mohave Continues Toward Seller’s Market

I’ve been talking about this for months now. Something has to give in Fort Mohave.

Fort Mohave has been averaging almost 31 homes sold per month for the last year and there are only 185 homes on the market. That’s a 6 month supply and it’s been dropping.

As supply continues to drop in all three markets, lower priced houses are fewer and farther between. This has been especially obvious over the last few weeks as buyers are competing over those houses before they get gobbled up.

Supply drives price, so if this keeps up it’s only a matter of time before something has to give.
