Curious about how many homes are sold in Gilbert every month? (Sure you are!) Here are a few different ways to look at the data:
Table showing Gilbert, AZ home sales by month for 2000 through 2007:
Here is each year plotted by month. Note that home sales in any given year typically peak in June and are lowest in Dec – Jan. The “shape” of each year’s curve is similar, though the absolute value obviously varies.
And here is a chart showing monthly home sales in Gilbert from Jan 2000 through Dec 2007. There is an obvious shift that occurred in Jan 2006. Gilbert’s 2007 home sales total of 3,143 was the lowest since 2000 (when the population of Gilbert was significantly less than it is today).
Data represents all “dwelling types” (single family homes, condo/town homes, mobile/mfg homes) and signifies homes closed in a calendar month. All data is pulled from the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) and is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.
It should be noted that many new home sales are not tracked through the MLS. Nor are FSBO homes (For Sale By Owner).

The numbers definitely have increased since I moved away in 1999. Any idea how many homes have been added in Gilbert in the last ten years?

If you left Gilbert in 1999, you probably wouldn’t recognize it Ginger! (We moved here in 1999, though my lovely bride Francy was born and raised in Mesa.)
Here’s some stats I drug up on Gilbert:
2000 Population: 109,697
Est 2006 Population: 191,617 (74.6% increase)
Owner occupied housing units in 2000: 30,078
New home construction permits issued 2000 - 2006: 25,813
You’d probably be shocked if you came and saw what’s been built and developed since 1999 — 3 hospitals, a *huge shopping mall*, countless restaurants and many a farm now has a sprawling subdivision on it. Despite all that, there is still a nice home town feel to Gilbert.

I lived in the Islands- Warner & McQueen. Born and raised in Mesa- Dobson Mustangs!Thanks for the stats- WOW- a 75% increase in less than 19 years. I still have some family in AZ, but mostly in Scottsdale. My parents sold their home and moved to the beach in California about five years ago. Both my mom and I were agents at Re/Max Anasazi in Tempe. Now you know more about me than you wanted!
