Housing Market SHIFT hits Phoenix Arizona - Real Estate Market Update

We're not seeing major changes in Phoenix just yet, but we're starting to see signs of a cooling market. More buyers are holding off as home ownership becomes too expensive. More sellers are dropping their asking price. Housing supply is sharply increasing. In addition to the disappointing housing data, initial jobless claims topped 250,000, the Leading Economic Index dropped for the 4th month in a row. The futures market also expects a .75% rate hike at this week’s Fed meeting, followed by smaller spikes going forward. Please note a Fed rate hike is NOT a direct hike to mortgage rates. Instead, mortgage rates usually get at least slightly better after a Fed rate hike. Buyers are much more aware of the dramatic change in the market than are sellers. New sellers will need to take time to understand just how different market conditions are today compared with 3 months ago. They should not expect multiple bids. As a result of these factors, we expect house price appreciation to moderate considerably.

Phoenix Real Estate Market Update May 2022 - Arizona Realtor

 

Is the housing market finally cooling off? Housing supply has been arriving in greater quantities over the past few weeks. This applies to both rental and for sale listings. The most dramatic rises are in rentals. U.S. new home sales fell as mortgage rates and prices increased. The sales rate declined 8.6% for the month and 12.6% from a year ago. During the same time period, the median sales price increased 21.4% to $436,700. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again for the 2nd time since 2018, boosting the fed funds target rate by a 0.5% point. The central bank is also expected to launch a program to reduce its massive bond holdings by $95 billion a month, starting in June. It's important to understand this has nothing to do with the average mortgage. It means that the Fed will buy fewer bonds (Fed bond buying is one factor that kept rates as low as they were). This bond buying has a far more direct affect on mortgage rates. Watch this latest on the Arizona housing market update video for more insight.

Video: Tesla battery supplier LG plans $2.8 BILLION dollar battery plant in Arizona

Tesla battery supplier LG buys 650 acres in Queen Creek Arizona for a massive 2.8 BILLION dollar battery plant. South Korea based LG Energy Solutions was the sole bidder and winner of the land in Queen Creek in an auction. The company paid the minimum bid price of a whopping $84.44 million through the Arizona State Land Department on April 14th, 2022. That's nearly $130,000 per acre! The plant will provide an estimated 2,800 jobs in the area. Completion date is set to be sometime in 2024.

 

The site is located on the northeast corner of Ironwood and Germann roads near Zimmerman Dairy Farm and CMC Steel Arizona southeast of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Queen Creek. This $2.8 billion battery manufacturing plant makes up 1 million square feet with a production capacity of 11 gigawatt hours. Demand for batteries continues to soar across the globe to meet the demand for electric vehicle manufacturing.

 

However not everyone is happy about this….They are building the site plan just a few hundred feet from residential neighborhoods. There is even a petition signed with thousands of signatures to stop this facility from being built.

Moving to Phoenix Arizona? How to find a safe neighborhood

Chantell and I had a discussion about Arizona’s population growth the other day and the crime that can and has follow suit with it, as it’s realistic and inevitable. It got me thinking that I need to share with others who may be moving here (or live in) to make informed decisions on how to find, research, and look out for crime rates / statistics when it comes to home buying or leasing in an area that is unknown or unfamiliar to them. Safety is important to many people and that’s what this video is about. You can use these tools to find a Phoenix (or any city for that matter) neighborhood that may fit your safety needs and lifestyle.

 

Violent crime rates in Arizona rose faster and remained higher than the national rate in recent years, according to the latest data from the FBI. Violent crime which includes murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault rose 4.6% in the U.S. between 2019 and 2020, to a rate of 398.5 crimes per 100,000 people in 2020. The rate in Arizona climbed 8.6% to 484.8 per 100,000 in the same period, according to data from the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer.

 

To address that surge, lawmakers recently called for action on a bipartisan bill that would allocate $100 million a year for the next decade to support police agencies and increase assistance to victims and their families.

 

Crime mapping is used by analysts in law enforcement agencies to map, visualize, and analyze crime incident patterns. It is a key component of crime analysis and the CompStat policing strategy. Mapping crime, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), allows crime analysts to identify crime hot spots, along with other trends and patterns.

 

I recommend these excellent websites you can do your own diligence on when it comes to buying or leasing in Phoenix Arizona. You may also use these websites for ANY state insights on crime and safety research.
