Real estate sellers in Sedona and the Verde Valley will continue to face a very tough market in 2009, due to a steady stream of foreclosures and an overall lackluster market.  However, prices are attracting more buyers into the market and we are beginning to see multiple offers and price wars on certain well priced listings. 

A home in Verde Village a few days ago was bid up 20% over its asking price  A property in the City of Cottowood experienced the same phenomena.  A listing of ours in the City of Cottonwood just received an offer after a market time of only 10 days.  These are things we expect in a sellers market-  which indicates the tide may be finally be starting to turn in these markets.  While a one year supply of homes is still considered an oversupply ( a"normal" market is a 4-6 month supply),  the supply of homes in these two markets has dropped considerably in the second half of 08.

The 4th quarter of 2008 saw 222 sales in the area, however, over 25% of these sales were foreclosures.  Currently, 48% of the 124 pending contracts in the Verde Valley are foreclosure homes.Inventory of available properties also dropped in the 4th quarter from about 3200 listings, to a current 2840 listings.  We do expect this number to spike up again in the Spring, as many sellers take their homes off the market for the holidays, or wait until Spring to list.  Here is how the 4th quarter and 2008 stack up to the past few years.

The market in the Verde Valley will begin to feel more normal when we hit an average of 400-500 sales per year in the Sedona/ Verde Valley market area.

Verde Valley and Sedona real estate agents had a very tough year in 2008.  In fact, we lost about 100 over the past calendar year-  1/2 of those were in January 09, when annual dues to our MLS service are to be paid.  We now have 636 agents working in the valley.  That is still way too many-  636 agents handling 952 sales means an average of 1.49 sales per agent, per year. or 48,610 dollars in sales per agent- about 1500 bucks in commissions- before their split with a broker.  I cant understand why so many of the "dabblers"  continue to hold a license.

Real estate is a business where 10% of the people, make 90%, and that is especially true in difficult markets.  Out of the 700 or so real estate agents that worked in Sedona and the Verde Valley in 2008, only 417 did one or more deal-  over 250 of them failed to record a sale in the MLS-  which means over 1/3 of our area agents sold nothing in 2008!  Out of the 417 who managed to do a deal, 124 area real estate agents only did one deal for the entire year.  80 agents only sold 2 properties, 317 agent sold 5 or fewer properties, leaving 100 area agents who sold 5 or more properties during 2008.  50 agents managed to sell 10 or more properties.  10 agents managed to sell 20 or more properties.  We were fortunate enough to be in this group.

If you are selling real estate in the Verde Valley in 2009, you would be very wise to chose your agent very carefully, and then listen to his or her advice regarding pricing, repairs etc.  Same goes if you are buying real estate in 2009.  Chose your agent carefully and go out and negotiate a killer deal.  Prices have dropped 20-50 percent throughout the Verde Valley-  find an agent who know how to help you spend your money wisely!
