Something To Note
Greater Phoenix is broken into 17 area/cities. As we've continued to share, some areas are fairing better than others. For the sake of these blogs, we calculate everything based on current reports from The Cromford Report (a leading data company in Arizona). Combining extensive data, The Cromford Report uses what is called The Cromford Index. This index determines the overall health and status of a market.
- 0-90 = buyers market
- 90-110 = balanced market
- 110-500 = sellers market
In The Cromford Report's Latest Update
- 9 cities are now considered buyer's markets
- Only 4 cities were considered seller's markets
- 4 cities were in the 'even market' range
Paradise Valley Had The Biggest CMI Drop
While Paradise Valley is still the strongest-performing market in all of Greater Phoenix, it did see the biggest CMI percentage drop (month over month). With a CMI of 198.3 on 9/8, it fell 13% to 171.4 on 10/6. This 13% marks the biggest CMI drop in all 17 measures cities/areas of Greater Phoenix. While 171.4 is still a SELLER'S MARKET, and the best one in the valley, this drop shows NO AREA is safe from adjustment.
