The market is not crashing!

For Maricopa County, AZ - This chart shows the Notice of Trustee Sales sent to homeowners. This means that an owner is delinquent on their mortgage loan payments, and the mortgage servicer has given them a 90-day “Notice of Trustee Sale.” At day 91, if payments (delinquency, penalties, interest, etc.) are not caught up, the home will be sold at a Trustee Sale (Most people call this Foreclosure).

This graph shows that there were ONLY 369 notices sent out in Maricopa County during the month of November 2025.

Listen to the data, not the news reports. Most importantly, listen to me; your trusted Real Estate advisor!!

Rates Dropped Again... Should I lock in my rate?

Great question! The truth is, there’s no way to predict exactly what interest rates will do in the coming days or weeks; it’s always a bit of a gamble. I wish I had a crystal ball to forecast the future, but unfortunately, I don’t. That said, there are some general trends that may help guide your decision.

Historically, rates tend to tick up slightly on Fridays and dip a bit mid-week, but that’s not a guarantee. Right now, mortgage rates have dropped again as investors moved money out of stocks and into the “safe haven” of Treasury bonds. This increase in demand has pushed yields down, leading to the lowest mortgage rates we’ve seen since mid-September 2024. Given that, this might be a good time to consider locking in your rate.

I’d recommend continuing to check in with your loan officer daily and discussing your options based on your comfort level with risk. If you’re happy with where rates are now and locking in would give you peace of mind, it may be worth securing your rate sooner rather than later.

Big Changes Ahead in 2025


The real estate market is shifting drastically this year, and buyers who act now may benefit the most. Here’s what you need to know:



🔹 More Homes, More Choices
A housing shortage has made homebuying competitive in recent years, but new laws are helping to increase inventory. States are easing zoning laws to allow more multi-unit properties and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on residential lots.



🔹 Easier Mortgage Accessibility
With mortgage rates fluctuating, buyers are watching closely to see if interest rates will drop under the new administration. Lower interest rates would mean lower monthly payments, making homeownership more affordable. However, waiting for rates to drop could backfire if home prices rise due to increased competition. The key is to lock in a home before demand surges.



🔹 New Rules for Buyers (NAR Settlement)
Major real estate reforms are changing how homes are bought and sold. The NAR settlement is reshaping commission structures, meaning buyers now have more negotiation power over how and whether they compensate real estate agents. Traditional agent fees are no longer automatic—giving buyers an opportunity to save more money when purchasing a home.

Phoenix Leads in Price Cuts 🌵

The real estate market continues to evolve as sellers re-enter the market and buyers navigate affordability challenges. While home values remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, price cuts have become more common, particularly in Phoenix.

Price Cuts Create Buyer Opportunities
Homeowners in the Phoenix market are adjusting their expectations to attract buyers, with more than one-third (34%) of listings experiencing price reductions. This makes Phoenix the leading metro for price cuts, surpassing other major cities such as Tampa (32%), Jacksonville (31%), and Orlando and Dallas (both 29%). Nationwide, nearly 23% of sellers cut prices in January, the highest share recorded for the month since 2018.



Phoenix Market Overview:

Share of Listings with a Price Cut: 33.5%

Share of Listings Sold Over List Price (December): 14.9%

Change in New Listings (YoY): 26.2%

Change in Inventory (YoY): 32.8%

Median Days to Pending: 38 days

Despite challenges in the market, buyers in the Valley have a strong opportunity to negotiate better deals. With homes moving to pending status in about 38 days, buyers still need to act fast but can leverage price cuts for better value. If you're in the market for a home, now might be the time to take advantage of these price adjustments and secure a deal.
