The beat goes on, no stopping to catch your breath in this market. 
But, incidentally, the same was true in January 2020 when  I remarked, 
".... This is a very healthy start to the 2020 market year, very. Usually it's kinda quiet at this time of year - with buyers taking their time, moseying around doing more tire kicking than actual buying. But this year there's an urgency to buy that I have not seen since the glory days of 2004 - 2005 ..."

One more thing. The supply of single family homes for sale in the Foothills is at an all-time low. 
Today there are just 76 single family homes for sale.
In Jan 2020 there were 228 for sale - and that was lean.
Jan 2019 - 305 for sale
Jan 2018 - 304 for sale
So if you're looking and not finding, it's not you. 

There you have it.
2020 was a big year for Catalina Foothills home sales - more homes sold and they sold faster and for more money. 
A Hot market which appears to want to keep going in 2021, but we'll need more homes for sale in order to do it. 

 

And now the historical view, with charts showing sales, sold prices, etc. of single family homes in the Catalina Foothills for each year since 2005..

First up is homes that sold for up to $999,999 - the bulk of the market

Next is homes that sold for $1,000,000 & UP - a market that made a big leap forward in 2020

DOM, how long homes were on the market before going to contract - not very long in 2020


And finally, sold prices are sort of back to where they were in 2006 - on paper they are anyway -
but adjusted for inflation 2006's median sold price of $570,000 would be $735,766 today while the actual median sold price today is $567,100. 

In the future I am going to cut back on the number of years covered in the sales reports and charts, from what has grown to its current 16 years, to a more relevant 4 or 5 years. The reports are going too far back to be meaningful - does anyone really care what the market did 8 or 10 or more years ago.  Yep, the Boom, the Bust, Been there Done that, let's move on..

Best Wishes for a Healthy, Happy & Prosperous New Year!
