Arizona Canadian Connection Tricia Lehane, REMAX Excalibur

Arizona Canadian Connection Tricia Lehane, REMAX Excalibur Tricia Lehane I am a full time REALTOR®, helping people find the key to building memories. I service the Greater Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

The key that opens a door and brings a sense of joy, love, energy, security, and for some, a family. The keys jingling in your pocket, is the key to your future, and a treasure called 'home'. Educating and helping people buy and sell their home is the key to my success. I was born and raised in southeast Colorado. Early in my career I heard the call of the North, so I moved to Canada where I lived

and worked for 30+ years. I built my career in sales and marketing management prior to becoming a full-time REALTOR®. Helping people find the right place where they can raise their families, create memories, and put down roots, is what puts the P~E~P (Positive, Enthusastic, Persistent) in my step every day. I know that you're not just looking for a house, you're looking for your home! My goal is always to help my clients find the right home, whether it is their first, a move-up, a second home, or you are new to the Greater Phoenix/Scottsdale area! I am active in the Real Estate community by giving back through serving on the Local & State Chapter Women’s Council of REALTORS®. I have served Women’s Council of REALTORS® @ the Local Network level as President, State President and Governor and will be serving as National Regional Vice President in 2016, serving the states of Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Utah. I chose to move to REMAX Excalibur to help me take my business to the next level, and am thrilled to be part of an amazing organization.

-What Homebuyers Get for Their Budget in 2026
-Sellers: What to Watch this Summer

For Buyers: Affordability is a hot topic, especially for first-time buyers. While articles often focus on median or average sales prices, they don’t always provide context. So far in 2026, the median single-family home sold in Greater Phoenix is 2,001 square feet at $450,000—larger than many first-time buyers may need or want. Growth areas such as Pinal County, Buckeye, and Surprise offer more affordable new homes, often with incentives for closing costs or mortgage-rate buydowns. With fewer homes coming on the market during summer, buyers may also have more negotiating power, particularly in the popular sub-$400K range. Over the past three months, 70% of homes that closed between $300K–$400K had sellers pay buyers’ closing costs, with a median contribution of $10,485, often including a mortgage-rate buydown.

For Sellers: Summer can be a challenging time for sellers, with homes sitting longer, fewer new listings, and increasing stale inventory. By September, more new listings will start to increase. Tracking local market data can help sellers decide whether to stay patient or adjust their strategy.

The most useful reports are specific to the home’s ZIP code and price range, including:

-Showing activity: Tracks how many buyers are viewing similar homes and how demand is trending.
-Weekly contracts: Shows how many homes are going under contract. If few are selling, patience may be necessary; stronger activity can reveal what buyers are choosing.
-Weekly supply: Compares available homes with the number of contracts. Rising supply with fewer sales may signal a need to adjust strategy.
-Price per square foot at contract: Helps identify the pricing “sweet spot.” Homes priced above this level typically need standout features, condition, amenities, or location to justify the premium.

Want to make your offer stand out? Consider adding an escalation clause that automatically increases your offer if another qualified buyer bids higher.

You can also enhance your earnest money deposit to show the seller you’re serious and financially committed—two strategies that may give you an edge in a competitive market.

Headquarters Alley has quickly become one of north Phoenix’s most exciting growth corridors, stretching from Desert Ridge toward Hayden. Major employers including Discount Tire, Republic Services, and Sprouts Farmers Market have established headquarters here, while the Arizona Cardinals are adding a $200 million headquarters and training facility. Together, these developments are transforming the area into a major destination for business and employment.

That growth is fueling a new kind of urban lifestyle in north Phoenix. CityNorth, Desert Ridge Marketplace, and High Street offer a mix of upscale dining, shopping, entertainment, offices, and hotels while new condos continue to rise nearby. Headquarters Alley is becoming one of the Valley’s most desirable places to live and work.

Neglecting routine property maintenance can significantly reduce your home's value over time. Small issues like peeling paint, moisture problems and structural damage can make a home less appealing to buyers and may lead to more costly problems down the road.

Staying on top of regular maintenance helps protect your investment, enhances curb appeal, and can lead to a higher selling price when it's time to move.

-Home Prices at a Record High? Not Exactly.
-ROAD to Housing Law: What It Means for Sellers

For Buyers: The Greater Phoenix housing market remained in a mild buyer's market entering July, with supply and demand changing very little. June home sales increased 7% compared to last year, driven by stronger luxury home activity, while prices below $1 million remained mostly flat. Although average home prices reached new highs due to more high-end sales, the median sales price has stayed relatively unchanged and remains below its 2022 peak. This highlights the difference between average and median prices, with the median providing a more accurate picture of what most buyers are paying. Overall, home values have seen limited appreciation in the current buyer's market, though local income growth has outpaced both inflation and home price gains over the past three years.

For Sellers: While the newly enacted ROAD to Housing Act is expected to improve housing affordability over time, its impact on Greater Phoenix's resale market will likely be minimal in the near term. The law focuses on reducing construction costs, expanding financing options, and supporting housing improvements, but builders are expected to increase construction cautiously as demand returns. For now, the resale market remains steady, with homes typically going under contract in about 48 days, buyers paying an average of 97% of list price, and seller concessions remaining common. As buyer activity usually slows during the second half of the year, sellers should focus on competitive pricing and home condition rather than waiting for lower mortgage rates.
