Phoenix Market Update 2026 into 2027
The Greater Phoenix real estate market has officially shifted into a highly balanced, sustainable environment, but the real headline for local homeowners is the sudden, late-summer tightening of active supply. Total active valley-wide inventory dipped roughly 3% month-over-month, while buyer contracts simultaneously jumped by 3%, meaning motivated buyers are aggressively locking in properties before the autumn inventory surge. With the median sales price holding incredibly resilient at $450,000 (reflecting a steady 2.27% year-over-year increase), you are in a rare, sweet spot where your property value remains at a historical peak, yet you face substantially less competition from neighboring sellers than you will as we head into the new year. Homes that are priced accurately are moving quickly while poorly positioned properties stall past 84 days on market, listing your property soon allows you to captivate a highly eager buyer pool before seasonal inventory shifts the leverage back out of your hands.
Phoenix prime home-selling season is approaching
Phoenix’s favorable weather ushers in an autumn market resurgence in October and November continuing full force from February through June. Seasonal demand for housing will increase making it a Great Time to make a Smart Move! Many Canadian's are cashing in and taking advantage of the US/CAN exchange rate near $1.40. If you are considering selling it may be the perfect time to list before inventory levels increase. I will provide you with all the information you will need to make it a seamless transaction. I'll guide you step by step through the process; from FIRPTA to Furniture, to referring you competent tax professionals that are IRS Certified Acceptance agents. (CAA)
