The Big Picture; Catalina Foothills 1st Qtr. Home Sales and Sold Prices over the last 14 years

The following charts track 1st Qtr. single family home sales from 2004 to 2017.

First up, for Homes Sold up to $999,999
Look at that jump in sales this year, more homes sold in the 1st Qtr. of 2017 than any year except 2005.

 

Next Up are Homes Sold at $1,000,000 & UP, a still struggling segment of the market that appears to be making progress.  
A less impressive 1st Qtr. than for homes sold for less than $1mil, nevertheless, for the first time in years sales rose, rather then fell, two 1st Qtrs. in a row - 2016 & 2017.

Last year, atypically,  more homes sold at $1mil+ from July thru December (in the off season) than during our supposed high season of January thru June, resulting in 2016 racking up more sales at $1mil+ than any year since 2008.
Not like way-more, just some more.

And finally, the icing on the cake, rising median sold prices

Again, two consecutive 1st Qtrs. with rising median sold prices. And sold prices this year that are higher than any year since 2008. Yippee!

We may actually, finally, be getting out of the woods.

How sweet it is, 1st Qtr Catalina Foothills home sales

Jan – Feb 2017 sales were running comfortably ahead of last years’ Jan – Feb numbers but the spike in sales this March has blown the doors off 2016 - 1st Quarter sales are now up 32% over 2016.

And we are finally seeing rising prices along with rising sales - 1st Quarter Median Sold prices are UP 11% over 1st Qtr 2016.

And more good news; 
the number of homes sold is small but 1st Qtr sales at $1,000,000+ are up 62% over 2016 (8 sold 1st Qtr. last year v.13 this year) – and 2016 was the best year in 8 years, with 53 sold, at $1,000,000+, in the Foothills.

Catalina Foothills March home sales

Closed sales for single family homes sold in March are still dribbling in but so far, with 95+% of March sales reported, March 2017 sales are UP 42% over March 2016 with median sold prices UP 13%.

Similarly, and more credible since monthly numbers are notoriously erratic, for the 1st Quarter, January – March 2017 sales are UP 31% over 2016 with median sold prices UP 10.7%.

All sales should be reported by the end of the week and at that time I will post the final numbers.
