In May, data still doesn’t show much relief for buyers. We continued to see restricted supply, homes selling quickly, and rapidly rising prices, expected to continue throughout the summer. All data pulled from the ARMLS® from 5/1/2021 to 5/31/2021.
Monthly Sales
In May, sales remained high but were down by 3.7% from the previous month with 9,127 homes sold. This number is also an impressive 33% increase from May 2020.

A Message From Wayne Graham, Head of Real Estate
“The data from May proves little to no relief for home buyers in the Phoenix market. We are still seeing a trend of sparse supply, quickly rising listing prices, and homes selling faster than ever. We will continue to see a trend of out-of-state buyers, who made up 21.4% of all homes purchased in May.”
