Arcadia AZ Homes Monthly Real Estate Report-February 2012

Arcadia is a very unique neighborhood, located in the 85018 Zip Code in Phoenix, AZ. Because much of Arcadia is located in what many consider to be the best school district in Arizona (Scottsdale Unified School District), and offers such amazing dining/shopping opportunities and lush green neighborhoods, this area has become extremely popular for people looking for their next home. Add to that its proximity to Old Town Scottsdale, and you get the perfect combination when looking for your next home. The 85018 Zip Code is commonly referred to as Arcadia, and for the purposes of this report, I have included all real estate activity that has occurred in the past month within 85018.

Before I begin to explain the findings in the above chart, allow me to take a moment to define some of the terms.

Active: Listings that are currently listed as being “Active” in the MLS.

Pending: Listings that are currently under contract. This includes both Short Sales and Traditional (non- distressed) listings.

Closed: These are homes that closed escrow during the month of  February / 2012.

Traditional: These are listings that are “non-distressed” (i.e., not short sales or bank-owned).

Short Sales: These are listings that are marketed/sold for less than what is owed on their respective mortgages.

Bank-Owned: As the title implies, these are listings that are marketed/sold by the bank/lender that owns them.

Other/Misc.: These are listings that are classified as being owner agent, probate, court approval required, etc.

There are currently 167 Active Listings on the market:

140 Are Traditional Listings

15 Are Short Sales

09 Are Bank-Owned

03 Is/Are Other/Misc.

There are currently 161 Pending Listings:

64 Are Traditional Listings

79 Are Short Sales

08 Are Bank-Owned

10 Is/Are Other/Misc.

During the month of February / 2012, there were 61 Closed Listings:

40 Were Traditional Listings

14  Were Short Sales

05 Were Bank-Owned

02 Is/Are Other/Misc.

Finally, in the Arcadia Homes Monthly Real Estate Report, we will compare month/month cost per square foot for those homes that closed escrow in February / 2012.

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in January / 2012 in Arcadia was $146.45 per square foot.

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in February / 2012 in Arcadia was $133.94 per square foot.

This represents a 9.34% decrease in price/square foot within the community from January / 2012 to February / 2012.  The fact that 19 of the 61 homes that closed escrow were either short sales or bank-owned probably had a lot to do with this.
