Phoenix Housing Market Surges Past National Trends Again in 2025
The Phoenix housing market is once again beating national averages—this time with stronger sales, rising equity, and more buyers qualifying for homes despite modest price increases. According to AZ Big Media and data from Phoenix REALTORS®, nearly every major metric is pointing upward.
Year‑to‑date closed sales, pending sales, new listings, and the median price of single‑family homes all increased, highlighting a strong—and strengthening—Valley market. Phoenix continues to outperform the national housing landscape by a wide margin.

Valley Momentum Outpaces the Nation
Greater Phoenix saw a 3.8% increase in closed sales in the first ten months of 2025 compared to 2024. Year‑over‑year, October 2025 alone saw a 4.9% jump—crushing the national rise of just 1.5%.
More than 52,000 homes have sold so far this year, with just over 51,000 pending. Meanwhile, new listings surged by 8%, far better than the national decline of 0.8%.
The median price for a single‑family home hit $480,000—matching the national average—though Phoenix saw a slight 0.4% increase while the nation remained flat. Even with this price bump, Phoenix remains more affordable than expected: the housing affordability index improved from 69 to 71, meaning more buyers can qualify.
