These two research analyses represent the most comprehensive view of the history, the present, and the likely future of new and resale housing in metro Phoenix that is available from any source.
New home permits in March were up for the month compared to February. New home closings finished above February’s total as builders push for the tax credit deadline. Newly-positioned product lines will continue help fuel the new opportunity for builders and consumers alike.
Resale housing continues strong, buoyed by low prices from short sales and foreclosures.
The outlook for new and resale housing in Phoenix is one of growing opportunity over each of the next several years as both public and private builders reposition for market share capture as the market grows and prospers once again.
In 2009 the metro Phoenix housing market, along with almost every other housing market in the country, experienced unprecedented declines in home values. This fact coupled with the staggering losses of employment, drastically reduced buying power and dismal consumer confidence brought one of the top housing markets in the nation to almost a literal halt. Our housing market data allows a clear comparison and track of the sales and permit performance of the region’s major and mid level home builders, and gives some insight into tomorrow’s market leaders.
The continued unraveling of mortgages that were originated for both new housing and resale housing during the buildup and peak of the 2004 – 2006 housing market, coupled with the economic downturn continues to have a direct impact on the developer/builder opportunity for new housing.
The Phoenix housing market forecast identifies that the prospects for recovery are clearly tied to inventory, foreclosures, credit availability, and employment in the metro Phoenix region.

The continued unraveling of mortgages that were originated for both new housing and resale housing during the buildup and peak of the 2004 – 2006 housing market, coupled with the severe economic downturn as well as only modest recovery in the financial markets continues to have a direct impact on the developer/builder opportunity for new housing. Unemployment and foreclosures throughout the country created what has been labeled as the worst economic condition since the depression era. Consumer affordability, government action and job creation will be the key drivers in the revitalization of the metro Phoenix housing market.
The Phoenix housing market forecast identifies that the prospects for recovery are clearly tied to inventory, foreclosures, credit availability, and employment in the metro Phoenix region.
>We finished the year with new home permits off -36.20% from last year while new home closings were off -47.10%. These totals mark the 4th year in a row where new home closings have exceeded new home permits issued.
The resale market continued to be fueled by record foreclosures and severely depressed pricing and finished the year strong with an increase of 59.67% from the previous year. By our careful audit and calculation, 55% of those closings were REO sales. Get the details in our Phoenix Housing Market Letter.
