Real Estate Market Report – MARCH 2023

The Encanterra community has seen some interesting changes in the real estate market over the past year. According to the latest data from the Arizona MLS, the number of active listings has increased substantially to 53, up from just 14 in March 2022. This may suggest a shift in the market, as more homeowners may be looking to sell their properties.

Despite the increase in active listings, the number of new listings in March 2023 remained steady at 14. Additionally, there were 5 pending listings, indicating a reasonable level of activity in the market. However, the number of sold listings has decreased to 9, down from 19 in March 2022. This may suggest that properties are taking longer to sell, or that buyers are becoming more selective.

The sale-to-list price ratio has also decreased, standing at 96.5% in March 2023, down from 101.4% for the same month in 2022. This suggests that buyers may have slightly more bargaining power than in the previous year, as sellers may be more willing to negotiate on their asking price.

If you are a homeowner in Encanterra and are interested in selling your property, it is important to work with an experienced Encanterra Specialist who can help you navigate the market and set an appropriate asking price. The increase in active listings may result in more competition, so it is important to price your property competitively.

If you are a prospective buyer, the increase in active listings may mean that you have more properties to choose from. However, the decrease in the sale-to-list price ratio suggests that buyers should still be prepared to make reasonable offers and be patient in the negotiation process.

Whether you are a buyer or seller, it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and data in the real estate market. If you have any questions or concerns about the market in Encanterra or the broader Arizona real estate market, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.

About Kelli McCoy:

“Hi! I’m Kelli, a self diagnosed crazy dog lady and balanced trainer. Typically this is the section where trainers brag about themselves in third person… I’m going to do it in first person.

I grew up with dogs and often taught them tricks like roll over and sit and down while my siblings played outside… (the anti-social crazy dog lady thing runs deep over here.) I started working with dogs in 2007, where I worked as an adoption counselor of sorts and matched people and puppies and taught them about raising their puppies.

I started handling as a client in 2008, and I fell in love with training. In 2012 I started training dogs professionally for a large school. There I specialized in behavior modification and aggression, as well as obedience. While I loved rehabbing dogs, I found that one of my greatest joys was helping bridge the communication gaps between dog and human; especially in the beginning stages of training. Rescue has always been a big part of my life as well, and I have fostered and rehabbed many dogs! Most of them left… Some are now my foster fails.

I live in Mesa, Arizona with my seven dogs… Yes, seven. Nessy, Maddox, Tayzr, Bugzy, Tucker, Sophie, and little Grandpa. Along with that crew, we have a cat and two kids! They all have their own quirks, but with a ton of training, a lot of love, and a little luck we have found harmony in our house.

I dabble in sports with my dogs, and love competing with them in Rally, Obedience, Dock Diving as well as Toss & Fetch. However, you’re probably not here because you’re looking to show your dog in the obedience ring… You’re here because you want to have a better relationship with your furry family member. Plus, the puppy keeps using the carpet as it’s personal commode! Well, it is nice to “meet” you! And… yes, I can help with that!”

TOP REASONS why hiring an Encanterra Specialist ensures you a successful home sale…

Selling a home can be a daunting task, especially in today’s housing market. While it might seem tempting to try and sell your home on your own, hiring a Real Estate professional specializing in Encanterra ensures your successful sale.

Here are TOP REASONS why hiring an Encanterra Specialist ensures you a successful sale:

1. They’re experts on market trends

An Encanterra specialist knows how the national real estate market is changing and what it means for your community. They can provide you with trustworthy, data-bound information to help you make informed decisions about pricing, timing, and marketing.

2. A local professional knows how to set the right price for your home

Pricing your house too high can deter buyers, while pricing it too low can leave you with less money than you deserve. An Encanterra specialist will assess your home’s condition, upgrades, and location, and compare it to recently sold homes in Encanterra to determine the best price for today’s market.

3. A real estate advisor helps maximize your pool of buyers

Encanterra specialists have access to a wide range of tools and resources, such as social media followers, agency resources, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), to help your house get in front of people looking to make a purchase. Without access to these tools and marketing expertise, your home’s selling potential may be limited.

4. A real estate expert will read – and understand– the fine print

With more mandatory disclosures and regulations involved in real estate transactions, it’s important to work with a professional who can navigate the legal documents and speak the language.

5. A local professional is a skilled negotiator

In today’s market, buyers are regaining some negotiation power. An Encanterra specialist can help you coordinate with the buyer, the buyer’s agent, the inspection company, the title company and the appraiser, so you don’t have to go toe-to-toe with them alone. They’ll know what levers to pull and how to address everyone’s concerns and get you the best deal possible.

In today’s market, selling your home without an expert by your side can be a risky move. Enlisting the help of an Encanterra specialist ensures you have a professional real estate advisor who can guide you through the process and help you get the most out of your sale. So, if you’re planning to sell your home this spring, let’s connect and discuss how we can help you achieve your goals.

Top 5 Interior Trends for 2023

Each New Year ushers in a variety of new trends, from fashion to technology to interior design. Whether you’re looking for ways to spruce up your current home before selling it or you’re starting to plan the style of a new home, the upcoming trends forecasted by designers can provide some inspiration.

Here are 5 of the top interior design trends you can expect to be seeing in 2023:

Calming colors. When it comes to paint colors, wallpaper, and décor, homeowners are increasingly preferring warm, neutral hues that evoke a sense of calm and coziness. Colors commonly found in nature—such as muted browns and greens—are always a safe choice, but shades that are deeper yet still earthy (like mustard yellows, the popular accent color Ultramarine blue, or Pantone’s color of the year for 2023, Viva Magenta) are finding their place as well.
Statement rugs. To complement a more neutral color palette, designers are seeing homeowners opt for statement rugs that are both functional and decorative. With bold colors and patterns, these rugs can essentially serve as “floor art.”
Gold accents. Reflecting the theme of warm over cool tones, gold and brassy fixtures—including lighting, faucets, and cabinet or drawer pulls—will continue to be popular, while brushed nickel has fallen out of favor.
High-gloss wood finishes. From floors to cabinets, matte wood finishes are being swapped out for high-gloss, which brings a polished, eye-catching look to any room.
Biophilic design. While this trend is not exactly new, designers expect to continue seeing homeowners seek ways to bring elements of the natural world into their homes. This often manifests in the use of natural, organic materials, such as bamboo, cork, and wood, as well as decorative objects with freeform shapes. Incorporating these items can add warmth and texture to any interior design.
