August Home Sales Continue to Thrive During Summer Sales Season

Provided by the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS ®

Home sales in the city of Prescott increased 3% (six homes) from July to August with a total of 188 homes sold, according to the Multiple Listing Service Report from the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS® (PAAR).

Meanwhile, demand for homes in the hot summer market remained high, pushing up prices. August reported a median sales price of $598,500, a 26% increase from August 2020 and an 8% rise from July. Homes in August typically spent a median of 10 days on the market before selling.

In Prescott Valley, a total of 108 homes sold in August, which is just three fewer homes than the previous month. However, active listings continued to increase in the area with August reporting 162 homes available for sale compared to 140 in July. Homes stayed on the market for a median of nine days in August and 126 new listings became available. The median sales price of a home in Prescott Valley was $407,500.

Chino Valley reported a total of 59 homes sold in August, which is a 9% year-over-year increase and 15 homes more than sold in July in

the area. Homes spent a median of 11 days on the market with a median sales price of $415,000.

Some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time. Casa Perez is located at 3088 N Glassford Hill Rd. For more information: 928772-5114 | pvaz.net

Local Business Spotlight: Schools

Modern education in Greater Prescott has come a long way since its first school was built in 1867 on what is now the campus of Prescott Mile High Middle School -- a replica of the log cabin is two blocks away on the grounds of Sharlot Hall Museum.

Today the area has a broad spectrum of educational options for its residents, starting with the public, charter and private schools for children and teenagers throughout the region. College prep, careertechnical and religious instruction operate side by side to provide a multi-dimensional foundation for our youth.

Trade schools, colleges and universities here offer on-ramps to life within our community and beyond. People learn how to cut hair, build rockets, nurse patients, write poems.

Just as importantly, our local schools bring the community together. Parents and guardians collaborate with each other through PTOs and sports leagues. Students of all ages donate their time to causes large and small, learning about themselves as well as their neighbors and their environment.

Local schools are what make us a locality with an identity and a future and places for lifelong learning we all benefit from.
