It seems like many peopel are never happy.  In real estate that especailly seems to hold true.  First I hear complaints about prices dropping.  Now a few years later prices are rising and invetory has fallen.  So, the complaint now is it is hard to find a home.  Inventory levels are low, but there are still many choices out there.  It's just that there is also a lot of competition for that inventory. 

The big drop in inventory really occured over 2010-2011.  We have seen continued strengthening in the market, but the sale price appreciation didn't really kick in until inventory levels settled under $20K units.  In the chart below you will see that in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012, sales increased roughly 10%, while inventory dropped about 9%.  Overall supplies of inventory dropped significantly in all price categories except for $3M+.  In the Phoenix market, a balanced market is considered to have 3-4 months worth of inventory.  In price points below $500K (the majority of the market) inventory is sitting in the seller market range.  Many properties are selling with multiple offers.  Statistics in the chart were obtained from ARMLS STAT+ report.

The event that seems to get the lion's share of attention is Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction.  B-J, which starts next Monday and numerous other auctions held this month top the bill.  But there is so much more to do this weekend. 

Food trucks are all the rage.  If you fancy yourself a foodie and want to check out these roving epicurean treasures, you need to check out the Street Eats Food Truck Festival being held this Sat and Sun, Jan 12 & 13th at Salt River Fields.  Over 50 food trucks will be there along with cooking demos, national food celebrities, live music and more.  The fun starts each day at 11 AM and runs until 6 PM.  Admission is $10 and the food is extra.


Also this weekend, take your high flying self to the 4th Annual Cave Creek Balloon Festival on Saturday, Jan 12 for a balloon glow, skydiving show and much more.  The balloons will be on the Rancho Manana golf course driving range.  Parking available in downtown Cave Creek.  For more info check out http://cavecreekfestivals.com/fourth-annual-cave-creek-balloon-festival-at-rancho-manana/


If you love the idea of attending one of the auto auctions, but don't have the budget, check out the Barrett-Jackson Night at the Pavillions where you will be able to walk around loads of awesome classic cars, hot rods and more.  This is also on Saturday, Jan 12 from 4-7 PM. Held at the Pavillions in Scottsdale at Indian Bend and Loop 101.

Next week starts all the auto auctions.  More to come on that in another blog.

Have fun!

The inaugural Scottsdale Fall for the Arts is comprised of a series of six individual events and spotlights the city’s vibrant cultural scene, which is brimming with an estimated 125 art galleries, world-class museums and performance spaces, and an award-winning public art program. It’s the first time that the Scottsdale arts community is partnering on such an event.

People who know Old Town Scottsdale already know about the regular Scottsdale Art Walks.  But having this celebration of art going on throughout the weekend will open this fabulous arts community up to a whole new audience.

Some of the free events include the Western Art Walk tonight (Nov 8) where the arts district shows its Westerns roots & artsy beginnings with a colorful roundup of top cowboy art, sweeping southern landscapes, live music and more!

On Saturday check out the Painters Shoot out and Quick Draw Auction.  You can watch local, regional and national artists paint and sculpt live during this free event in downtown Scottsdale, then bid on the one-of-a-kind artwork in the two-hour “Quick Draw” auction that starts at noon.

 

Saturday and Sunday enjoy Canal Convergence.  Canal Convergence brings high caliber local and international artists making exciting work you can’t see anywhere else to Scottsdale’s Waterfront along with music, food, and local vendors for an exciting two-day event. This family-friendly event offers something for everyone with day and night-time installations floating, hovering, releasing, revealing, and emerging in and around the water of the Arizona Canal between the Soleri Bridge and Plaza and the Marshall Way Bridge. Be a part of the artwork and spectacle—a new community tradition in celebration of the Valley’s unique canal culture
and history.

In addition to this events there will be fundraising events, paid art shows and concerts, including pianist Michael Feinstein
