Compared with a normal market
To judge whether today's market is tight or loose, I compare it with the same month in 2017 to 2019, before the pandemic. Inventory above that level and longer days on market mean more leverage for buyers. Below it means a tighter market that favors sellers. The Phoenix metro and Scottsdale can move in opposite directions, so each is shown on its own.
The first pre-pandemic comparison arrives with the November 20, 2026 update.
What it means for sellers
- Price it right from the start. With about 5 months of supply and many reductions, overpriced homes tend to sit and then get cut.
- Scottsdale's luxury tiers are holding up best. Homes over $1M and $2M both had more closings than a year ago.
- Plan your timeline around your ZIP. Median days on market ran from about 45 in 85255 to over 100 in 85262.
For the full process, read the Seller's Guide.
What it means for buyers
- There's room to negotiate on many homes. About half of metro listings and 44% of Scottsdale listings have had a price cut.
- Don't expect broad discounts in Scottsdale. Its median is up from last year, and 85259 and 85260 are running under 4 months of supply.
- New listings are running below last year, so well-priced new homes can still move quickly.
