Sizzling Real Estate Market in Sun City West
Sun City West Real Estate Market Report May 2021
Homes that are priced right in Sun City West can go under contract in a matter of days. Most are sold auction-style, taking offers for 3 to 4 days, and then the seller decides which offer they want to accept. It’s not always the highest-priced offer that gets selected. Sometimes it’s the terms of the offer that win along with the price. On average, these homes get 5.5 offers, and many are above the asking price. So yes, it is a sizzling hot market here.
Do keep in mind, if a home is overpriced or needs a lot of work, it will sit on the market as before. Some homes have had virtually no updates for 30 or 40 plus years. However, if you are willing to take on a project, there may be a buying opportunity. Due to the housing shortage, these project homes will still fetch top dollar. But probably not as much as the seller would like compared to the same floor plan remodeled. With that being said, let’s explore this month’s Sun City West Real Estate Market Report May 2021.
