Phoenix's inventory of homes for sale continues to rise (continuing from where we left off on June 16). My first report, in October 2005, showed an inventory of 10,748 homes on July 20, 2005, rising to 19,254 on October 2. (Data comes from ziprealty.com, via posts to Ben Jones' Housing Bubble Blog.)

10,748 on July 20, 2005 to 53,350 on August 20, 2006--that's a 496% increase in inventory in 13 months.
Einzige--how about an update on trustee sales?
At last check, Maricopa County Notices of Trustee's Sales were averaging more than 40 per (business) day for August. That puts us on target for over 950 for the month, which is over 100 more than July. The last time the number was higher was in March of 2005.
ReplyDeleteI think the real interesting numbers are still a few months away. We've still got a ways to go before the numbers start matching those of the tech bubble. I'll post an update to my graph in November, I think.
August's total overshot my estimate by 81!
ReplyDeleteThere were a total of 1031 Notices of Trustee Sale.
Let's put that number in perspective. Looking at the last 140 months, the mean number of N/TRs is 900, and the standard deviation for that data set is 286.
So, 1031, while it's nearly 200 higher than July's number, is still fairly representative, and is well off January 2003's high of 1738.
Of course the past 140 months may be somewhat atypical, given that they contain the tech bubble numbers, which certainly have skewed the data upwards.
If September's number is higher than 1100 then I'll post an updated graph.
