In January, we were sitting at around 4900 active listings across the county--today, the housing inventory is below 4500 units. Let's get into our Phoenix real estate report for March 2022. As of March 30, there are 4496 active listings across Maricopa County. Demand from out-of-state buyers continues and new home construction cannot keep up. Another critical factor contributing to the housing shortage is that would-be sellers continue to sit on the fence--this must be due in part to fears that finding a replacement home will be difficult. There are 12,640 pending sales and there

Phoenix Metro Real Estate Update | Sept 2021
Phoenix inventory has risen slightly since last month and like other parts of the county, the buying frenzy is starting to mellow out. Let's dive into our Phoenix metro real estate update for September 2021. Sales activity is still strong, but we're not seeing as many over-the-top feeding frenzy type negotiations.

For folks looking to sell and rent, the situation is not good--as of today, there are
