Ahwatukee home buyers are frustrated as the housing shortage continues. The inventory of Ahwatukee houses on the market has hovered around the 170 mark for several weeks. New listings are in the ballpark of 25 homes per week, but most of the good listings are gone before most buyers find out about them. The only bright spot is that prices have remained about the same for the short term. The law of supply and demand usually dictates that as supply decreases the price rises. This normal phenomenon has been delayed by the banks who are pressuring the appraisers to keep the appraisal values artificially low. As long as the banks can keep the lid on price increases, Ahwatukee homes will remain at bargain price points. Mike Orr at the W.P. School Carey at ASU has predicted that with inventories so low and high demand from buyer’s, prices will rise.
So in summary, here is the problem:
- Inventories of Ahwatukee Homes are at all time lows
- Prices are being held down by artificial pressures by the banks
- Buyers want to buy but the best properties are long gone by the time they find them
- Ahwatukee Home Buyers know that prices are about to rise and they can’t get a house
- Many Ahwatukee Homebuyers are frustrated
The problem that most buyers don’t understand is that most of home searches they are utilizing, Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia are secondary searches. As secondary searches, Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com depend on feeds and updates from the local Multiple Listing Services (MLS). The updates occur every 24 to 48 hours, so it takes 24 to 48 hours for new listings to show up on these secondary portals. Buyers using these secondary portals are frustrated because in a hot market, like the market we are experiencing, the best listings are gone by the time they get on the secondary portals, that is if they are not gone before they get on the secondary portals.
So in summary, here is what Ahwatukee home buyers don’t know:
- Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia are secondary searches
- Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com depend on feeds and updates from the local Multiple Listing Services (MLS)
- it can take 24 to 48 hours for new listings to show up on Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia
- the best listings are gone by the time they get on the secondary portals
- the buyers utilizing secondary portal search engines miss the best listings
- these Ahwatukee home buyers are frustrated
