Before I begin to explain the findings in the above chart, allow me to take a moment to define some of the terms.

Active: Listings that are currently listed as being "Active" in the MLS.

Pending: Listings that are currently under contract. This includes both Short Sales and Traditional (non- distressed) listings.

Closed: These are homes that closed escrow during the month of October/2011.

Traditional: These are listings that are "non-distressed" (i.e., not short sales or bank-owned).

Short Sales: These are listings that are marketed/sold for less than what is owed on their respective mortgages.

Bank-Owned: As the title implies, these are listings that are marketed/sold by the bank/lender that owns them.

Other/Misc.: These listings are owner/agent, probate, court approval required, etc.

There are currently 92 Active Listings on the market in Desert Ridge:

62 Are Traditional Listings

16 Are Short Sales

9 Are Bank Owned

5 Are Other/Misc.

There are currently 144 Pending Listings in Desert Ridge:

During the month of October/2011, there were 49 closed listings in Desert Ridge:

14 Were Traditional Listings

Finally, in the Desert Ridge Homes Monthly Real Estate Report, we will compare month/month cost per square foot for those homes that closed escrow in October/2011:

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in September/2011 in Desert Ridge Phoenix was $121.00 per square foot.

The Average Price/Square Foot for homes sold in October/2011 was $112.73 per square foot.

This represents a 7.34% decrease in prices within the community from September/2011 to October/2011.  The fact that 29 of the 49 closings were short sales or bank-owned homes probably had a lot to do with this trend.
