SUMMARY

  • Greater Phoenix is back in a balanced market for now, after a 4 week buyers market
  • There are still 4 seller markets: Fountain Hills Scottsdale, PV, Cave Creek
  • The strongest buyers markets: Queen Creek, Maricopa, Buckeye
  • For the next 5-7 months, YOY appreciation rates will be negative.  This only affects sellers who purchased in the last year.

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

  • More listings coming on the market in Q1
  • More price reductions by existing listings to compete with new competition
  • Fewer days on market prior to contract
  • More traffic due to seasonal events
