REALTORS® Expect Prices to Increase in Arizona

In a monthly survey of REALTORS®, respondents are asked “In the neighborhood(s) or area(s) where you make the most sales, what are your expectations for residential property prices over the next year?”

 Based on the responses of approximately 3,000 REALTORS® who answered this question in the August 2018 REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey, the median expected price change in the next 12 months nationally is 2.1 percent, a slower price appreciation compared to the 4.0 percent average during the January through May 2018 surveys (2.5 percent in July 2018 and 3.0 percent in August 2017).

The chart below shows the median expected price change across the U.S. states based on the June, July, and August 2018 surveys of REALTORS®.[1] The median expected price growth ranges from no change to five percent across the states.

Telluride, Colorado | Bill Fandel, Telluride Sotheby’s International Realty

“Sitting on a 35-acre parcel just outside Telluride, Colorado, the home is a whopping 6,561 square feet and comprises ten interconnected pavilions, resembling more of a backwoods cul-de-sac than one residence. “

ABOUT 1068 WILSON WAY, TELLURIDE, COLORADO

Designed by the internationally-renowned architectural firm of Hugh Newell Jacobsen, this iconic property represents one of the rarest offerings in all the Rocky Mountains. Occupying a story-book setting in the mountains just outside Telluride, Colorado one discovers a residence compromised of ten-interlocking pavilions designed by Simon and Hugh Jacobsen. Carefully situated on a 35-acre estate parcel in the ultra-exclusive enclave of Gray Head, the home occupies a sun-drenched saddle offering breath-taking views of the surrounding 14,000-foot peaks. The residence is a wonderful combination of quarried limestone, glass, steel & native stone. Clean & sophisticated vaulted interiors were perfectly executed to savor the natural light and act as the ultimate backdrop for a carefully curated art collection. Nested around a circular motor court, the home’s dramatic spaces are warm & accommodating with walls of glass framing the staggering views of the surrounding meadows & mountains. A sophisticated series of environmental systems efficiently monitor and adjust for solar and air temperature changes for each pavilion and space, while the house employs radiant “air conditioned floors” to maintain the perfect interior climate.
