OVERALL INSIGHTS
For the monthly period ending August 15, the average sales price per square foot across ARMLS was $283 82 This reflects a 1 6% drop from July’s $288 48, landing at the lower end of our forecast range. Pending listings are also showing weakness, with an average list price per square foot of $316.16 down 1.1% from last month This suggests that closed sales prices will likely continue to decline over the next four to five weeks
Looking ahead, our forecast for September 15 calls for an average sales price per square foot of $281.10, down another 1% from current levels We are 90% confident results will fall between $275 48 and $286 72 Market distress remains minimal, with the vast majority of pending sales being normal transactions, though REOs ticked up slightly this month.
Supply has trended lower for the past two months, though it remains near normal levels Demand has inched upward in recent weeks but is still well below typical. With Greater Phoenix firmly in a buyer’s market, the overall price trend is expected to remain negative. As we move into autumn, we anticipate a second wave of new listings, particularly within the luxury and 55+ segments
For buyers, today’s market feels far different from the frenzied conditions of 2021–2022 Competition has eased significantly, with attractive listings no longer sparking multiple offers in days. Sellers, meanwhile, face a quieter environment, but the stability in nominal pricing compared to three years ago means that homes are actually more affordable in real terms, given wage growth and inflation over that period
