September 2009 -Real Estate Stats – Gold Canyon Arizona

 

At a glance - average prices seem to have gone up , but with a closer look this is not really true.  The average price of sold homes in September was $327,923. The average price of homes sold in August 2009 was $279,003. The reason this is not a new average price to get all excited about is that the average price is being skewed upward due to 8 of the 29 homes sold during the month being "behind the gates" in Superstition Mountain Properties. These are higher ticket homes and the fact 8 of the 29 homes sold were there has artificially inflated the monthly average sales price.
 
The number of homes sold is down from the prior month with only 29 homes sold in September. August 2009 saw 33 homes sold. And a year ago, September 2008 saw 17 homes sold.  So the number of Gold Canyon homes sold in a 30 day period continues to be better than a year ago, even though the number for September 2009 is down from August 2009 sales.
