The latest Cromford® Market Index (CMI) data is in for our 18 largest cities, and the trend toward a Sellers’ Market is
gaining momentum. While things feel similar to last week, the underlying numbers show a market that is heating up for spring.
The Highlights:
Sellers Holding Strong: 12 cities are currently moving in favor of sellers.
The Big Gainers: Goodyear, Tempe, Maricopa, and Fountain Hills saw the most significant shifts toward a seller-
favorable environment.
Opportunity for Buyers: 6 cities are still moving in favor of buyers, led once again by Cave Creek and Gilbert.
Market Velocity: The average CMI rose by 2.8% this week, showing a more moderate lean toward sellers compared to
last week’s 1.7%.
By the Numbers:
10 Cities in a Sellers’ Market (though 3 remain "weak")
2 Cities in a Balanced Market
6 Cities in a Buyers’ Market
The Takeaway: Whether you are looking to list in a hot zone like Goodyear or find an opportunity in Gilbert, the market is
moving. Having a pulse on these specific city-by-city shifts is the key to making a smart move this season.
