As the seasons begin to change and fall settles into Flagstaff, the real estate market is buzzing with activity. With a 3.67-month supply of inventory and a 26% increase in market activity over the past year, it’s clear that now is a fantastic time to consider making your next move. Homes are currently selling at 98.1% of their list price, with a median sold price of $716,000. On average, properties are spending about 39 days on the market, giving buyers and sellers alike an excellent window of opportunity.
What makes fall such an ideal time to buy or sell? For one, the cooler months tend to see less competition, as the summer rush tapers off and many buyers take a step back. This means that if you're in the market to purchase, you have more options to choose from, along with greater leverage to negotiate favorable terms. Additionally, many sellers are eager to close before the holiday season, making them more motivated to work with serious buyers. This urgency can result in better deals and increased flexibility in negotiations. Finally, Flagstaff’s fall weather offers a much more comfortable house-hunting experience. With crisp air and beautiful autumn landscapes, you can tour homes without the discomfort of summer heat or the challenge of winter conditions—plus, moving in the mild temperatures of fall makes the entire process smoother.
Whether you’re considering buying or selling, this season presents a unique advantage, and I’m here to provide personalized guidance every step of the way. If you’re curious about how to make the most of the current market, I’d love to connect and discuss your options.
