Summary

·        Greater Phoenix Seller Market is stable – prices continue to rise, but not as fast

·        FHA contracts are getting popular & Down Payment Assistance is back

·        Luxury contracts are stronger than seasonally normal

What’s reasonable to expect in the coming weeks/months?

  • Leading metrics in Greater Phoenix do not support continued downward pressure on price for most cities
  • Mortgage rate volatility uncertainty is worse than the rate itself – we need stability for both buyers and sellers to move
