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.
