Desert Mountain AZ saw fewer homes sell in August 2011. There were 8 homes sold last month. This is the lowest number of sales since January. Home sales in the summer always tend to slow down a bit so this decrease in sales is to be expected. Two of the homes sold were foreclosures and two were short sales.

The average price of homes sold was $893,500 which is quite a bit lower than the July average sales price of $1,367,857.
