The last three months have been busy in terms of overall sales activity across the county, but not all price ranges have fared the same. Here’s our 2016 2nd QTR Maricopa County Market Update. There are currently a little more than 20,000 active listings and approximately 11,500 pending sales. Low inventory has kept demand strong in the sub-$250K price range while the upper end of the market has been very flat.

With mortgage rates at very low levels, we expect demand in the sub-$250K market to remain fairly strong and activity in this segment will pick-up as we ease out of summer. Demand in the $500K to $1M range will remain flat for another month or two, but will gradually increase as we approach the fall.
