Here are the highlights:
📈 Key trends & takeaways!
1. Inventory is finally loosening
Supply has been stable for a few months now and is starting to trend upward over the past few days. This gradual rise is giving buyers a bit more breathing room and more choices across the Valley. In neighborhoods outside Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, the increase is already becoming noticeable.
2. Prices are holding but slower growth
Some areas are still seeing price appreciation ( luxury market) , but the pace has cooled compared to earlier in the year. Buyers who were previously sidelined may find more negotiating room now.
3. Divergence by location
-
Scottsdale & Paradise Valley: Demand remains strong. These areas still lean toward the seller.
-
Suburbs & outlying areas: Places like Peoria, Goodyear, and Queen Creek are showing signs of a buyer’s market for homes that need updates or longer marketing periods.
4. Closing time & days on market
Properties now linger marginally longer on the market than a few months ago, especially in less “hot” ZIP codes. Some sellers are adjusting their expectations and pricing strategies accordingly.
5. Buyer Strategies & Seller Advice
-
For Buyers: Don’t wait on the sidelines. With inventory loosening, it's a better time to revisit your home search. Be ready to act when a property you like appears.
-
For Sellers: Pricing smart matters more than ever. Overpricing can push your listing into a stale status—especially if comps in your neighborhood show slower growth.
🎯 What’s next?
-
Watch closely how interest rates, local employment, and inventory levels evolve this fall. They’ll shape momentum into 2026.
-
Keep an eye on which neighborhoods start accelerating or cooling faster than the metro average.
-
Use the video above and consult your local expert (hello, that’s me!) to adapt your buying or selling strategy based on evolving conditions.
