Nearly 80% of the largest U.S. metros (39 out of 49) are buyer’s markets....
but real estate is local, and not every seller will be willing to make a deal.
So how can you tell when you may have leverage on a particular home?
National trends provide context, but the clearest clues are often hiding inside the listing itself. Here are seven signs that a seller may be ready to negotiate, and how you can use that opportunity.

Ten homes. One state. A $33 million gap!
In July, the ten most expensive homes in Arizona's luxury market closed from a $7.1M estate to a $40.2M compound in — two of the priciest sales even sold on the same street.
Most of the top 10 landed in Paradise Valley, which has long been known as Arizona's luxury real estate hub, with the rest in Scottsdale.
….. but that is really just one part of the real estate market 🏠
Within the Phoenix metro there can be a home closing for over $40M and there are also condos, starter homes, and everything in between a few miles away— that's what makes this market so interesting to watch, no matter where your budget may be!

I help buyers, sellers, and relocation clients navigate all of it across Anthem and the greater Phoenix metro.
Whether you're relocating to the area for the first time or just moving across town, I'm here to help you figure out what's realistic for your situation — no pressure, just real numbers.

✨ Another client review that means so much to me. ✨

Buying or selling a home can be stressful — especially when you’re relocating, navigating a 1031 exchange, and trying to make important decisions along the way.
That’s why I take so much pride in helping my clients understand what to expect, what’s happening next, and what needs their attention throughout the process.

I’m incredibly grateful for this recent review:
💬 “Jennifer Haugebak is an exceptional real estate agent… Throughout the entire purchase process, Jennifer served as a dedicated advocate. She was meticulous with transaction details, proactive with updates, and remarkably responsive to every question we had. Working with her was a seamless experience, and I strongly recommend her services to prospective buyers.”

Thank you for trusting us with such an important purchase and allowing us to be part of your journey. ❤️

My goal has never been to simply open doors and write contracts. It’s
to be the person in your corner who communicates, anticipates, problem-solves, and helps make the process feel as seamless and predictable as possible.
Because while real estate will always have moving parts, you shouldn’t have to wonder what’s happening or feel like you’re navigating it alone.

Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, or simply trying to figure out what your next move should be, I’m here to help you make the decision that’s right for you — even when that means telling you to wait.

📍 Proud to live and work in Anthem and serve clients throughout North Phoenix and the greater Phoenix area.

Thank you to every client who trusts me with their real estate journey.
Your reviews, referrals, and confidence in me mean more than you know. 🏡❤️

❤️Love where you live!

Deciding to buy a home is the first step. Of many.
Then comes the part nobody really prepares you for: knowing where to start, what to expect, and where the pitfalls are hiding — especially if this is your first time buying.
As a Realtor® serving Anthem and the greater Phoenix Metro area, I've walked buyers through this process more times than I can count, and I've noticed the same pattern every time: the mistakes that cost buyers the most almost always happen before they ever step foot in a house.
I like to break the process into four stages: Strategy, Search, Contract, and Close. Here's what each one looks like when you're buying in Anthem, North Phoenix, or anywhere across the Valley.
