Colliers International’s Phoenix Land Report Notes Improved Outlook for 2012
March 6, 2012, Phoenix – Colliers International in Greater Phoenix released its 2nd Half 2011 Land Research & Forecast Report for metro Phoenix. Report highlights are outlined below. Download the report at www.colliers.com/greaterphoenix.•Sales of land parcels accelerated in the second half of 2011 despite a still-soft housing market and elevated vacancies among commercial properties. The renewed activity will likely serve as a catalyst for more volume in 2012.
•The housing market remains weak, with the median single-family home price down to $132,000. The last time prices were this low was 1999–2000. Low housing prices is restricting sales activity of land proposed for residential development.
•Commercial properties are beginning to show signs of stabilizing, and while current development is modest, land sales activity for commercial and industrial uses is gaining momentum in anticipation of future development.
•For the full year, the median price for all land parcels sold in Greater Phoenix was $1.12 per square foot. During the second half of 2011, however, the median price was $1.38 per square foot, and prices for properties zoned for residential, commercial and industrial uses all ticked higher.
•In 2011, the number of acres sold for commercial and industrial uses roughly doubled 2010 levels. Buoyed by a surge in the second half of 2011, the total acreage sold for commercial and industrial uses nearly matched the three-year total recorded from 2008–2010.
•Transaction volume for parcels intended for residential uses provide a stark contrast to the commercial market. Total acreage sold for residential construction fell nearly 30 percent from 2010 to 2011, and the number of transactions declined by more than 25 percent.
