Greater Phoenix Real Estate Market Recap: April ➡️ May 2026 🌵

The Valley real estate market told some interesting stories heading into summer. Luxury pricing climbed in Paradise Valley. Buyers moved faster in Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe. And Scottsdale's high-end inventory tightened - all while prices held relatively firm at the top of the market.

Here's what the April → May numbers showed across the Greater Phoenix area:

🏡 Scottsdale - Inventory dropped from 2,630 to 2,399 active listings. Average sales price softened slightly to $1,337,192. Homes took a bit longer to sell (87 days vs. 80), and monthly sales came in at 657.

🏡 Phoenix - Inventory held virtually flat (4,072 → 4,073). Average sales price adjusted to $556,445, while homes actually sold faster — 63 days vs. 70. Monthly sales: 1,274.

🏡 Paradise Valley - Luxury inventory tightened significantly (280 → 241 listings). Average sales price climbed to $4,692,455 — up nearly 9% month-over-month. Homes took longer to sell at 107 days, but closed transactions increased to 43.

🏡 Fountain Hills - Inventory edged down to 230. Average sales price rose to $944,825. Homes sold a bit faster and monthly sales came in at 70.

🏡 Tempe - More listings came to market (371 → 405). Prices held steady near $504,150, homes sold faster at 58 days, and monthly sales were 137.

🏡 Chandler - Inventory tightened to 617. Prices adjusted to $573,101, but homes sold faster (58 days) and buyer activity picked up — 306 sales vs. 297 in April.

🏡 Gilbert - Inventory held nearly flat at 820. Average sales price came in at $701,587, homes sold faster at 53 days, and monthly sales increased to 346.

🏡 Queen Creek - Inventory eased to 569. Average sales price adjusted to $704,911, homes sold in 75 days, and monthly sales rose to 175.

What this means if you're buying or selling in the Phoenix Valley right now:
Buyers → More negotiating room in several markets, especially where prices have softened and days on market have stretched. The window to negotiate is open.

Sellers → Tighter inventory is your ally in markets like Paradise Valley and Scottsdale, but strategic pricing and presentation are what separate sold from sitting.

This review meant a lot to receive.

After nine transactions together, the trust these clients have placed in me over the years is something I never take for granted.

Helping people navigate important decisions with honesty, strategy and care is at the heart of how I approach this business, and I’m so grateful for clients like these. 🤍 Real estate is never just about closing a deal - it’s about helping clients make thoughtful decisions, protecting their interests, and being a trusted resource through every season.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Arizona, I’m always happy to be a resource.
