Year end totals show an interesting set of facts (Not alternative facts) as to where buyers of Sedona Real estate originate.  Granted, the data isn’t from ALL purchases, rather from a sample size of approximately 25% of all purchases in 2016… and with a sample size so large we should be able to use this data as indiciative of the overall market.  The shocking part of the study shows that 54% of all Sedona purchases are made by Arizona residents.  The second largest group of buyers came from California with 15% of all buyers, then all other states make up the remaining percentages.  An underwhelming percentage of buyers came in internationally –  approximately 1% of our buyers were from out of country.  So, those sellers waiting for an international buyer would do much better to hope for an AZ buyer – there’s a lot more of those around than the occasional Canadian, European, Russian or Asian Buyer.  Selling agents would be doing their clients a favor to keep the marketing dollars focused on in state buyers!
