A flurry of recent listings and a rush of buyers' activity has prevented me from posting the absorption rate numbers for the Phoenix area, though I've been tracking them steadily since the middle of July.
Here's this week's edition - as always, single-family homes only and all data provided by ARMLS. Also, I'll be posting back data for past weeks over the next few days and also backdating the posts. Those with an RSS feed likely will still see them pop up, but I won't be sending the back data to the mailing list. What's done is done, after all, but there's value in posting for posterity.
