🌵 Phoenix Real Estate Market: Buyer’s Advantage

The Phoenix market in mid‑2025 is showing clear signs of a buyer’s market, a shift that strongly favors those looking to purchase or invest.

As of June 1, 2025, active listings in Phoenix were up nearly 47% year‑over‑year, with around 26,580 available homes compared to roughly 18,000 a year earlier. Inventory, including homes under contract, was up about 40%, signaling more options for buyers.

Pending and under‑contract listings dropped modestly (‑8.4% and ‑4.7%, respectively), meaning sellers face more competition to attract buyers.

The median sales price is roughly $455,000, a modest +1.1% YoY increase – relatively flat compared to previous sharp jumps.

Homes are spending about 53–55 days on the market, up from around 45 days last year. The average sale is 2–3% under list price, and only about 15.7% of homes sell above list, down by 5 points YoY.

Bottom line: With more supply, longer listing times, and moderate pricing growth, the power has swung to buyers—individuals and investors alike.

🎯 Why Buyers & Investors Should Act Now
More inventory = better negotiation leverage. Sellers are competing harder than in recent years.
Stable pricing: While modest growth continues, there's upward flexibility—investors can anticipate equity over time.
Strong fundamentals: Continued job growth, population influx, and economic activity underpin long-term stability.
Lower competition: Whether you're a first‑time buyer or investor, reduced bidding wars and slower market pace help.
