October 27, 2022 Market Update
Yes, things are still getting worse for sellers, with all 17 cities having seen a fall in their CMI over the past month. The deterioration in the market continues to accelerate with the average monthly change in CMI at -8.8%, worse than -6.8% last week. Paradise Valley is the most notable with a 29% drop in its CMI, while Cave Creek, Avondale, Mesa and Maricopa all fell 12% or more.
Least affected were Tempe and Buckeye, the latter managing to escape the bottom rung and leaving Queen Creek in that unenvied position.
11 cities are buyers markets, 3 are balanced and 3 are still sellers markets, though all 3 are deteriorating rapidly.
Outside the Northeast Valley, Phoenix and Chandler are the strongest markets, but even these look likely to slip below 90 within the next couple of weeks.
