September market update is up. Chelsea Anderson here, working Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler and Phoenix.

Short version: rates kicked up over 7% in the last couple of weeks, and anything payment dependent got quiet. The drop is sharpest under $500,000, which is our first-time buyer range here locally. Open house traffic is down. Showings are down. We are now running below last year on buyers getting under contract, after being slightly above last year earlier in the season.

Here is the part that does not make the headlines: if you are buying under $500,000 and you can carry the payment at today's rate, you have very little competition right now. That is real negotiating leverage, and it lasts exactly as long as rates stay where they are.

Move up into the $500,000 to $800,000 range and it changes. I am seeing multiple offers on the good homes in Mesa around $600,000.

Condo owners, separate heads up and this one has a date on it: January 4, 2027. On that date your HOA's budgeted reserve line has to be 15% of assessments instead of 10% or conventional loans stop getting approved in your complex. That comes from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so it is nationwide and it does not matter which lender you use. Boards are writing their 2027 budgets this fall, which means it gets decided now, not in January. Get your HOA budget and master insurance policy, both free to you as the owner, and check what the reserve line says. Confirm the details with your lender.

This market is neighborhood by neighborhood, zip code by zip code, city by city. If you want to know what your specific situation looks like, call or text me at 602-748-6136.

It is never the wrong time to buy the right piece of real estate.

New East Valley Real Talk is up: why families keep moving to Mesa in 2026, and how to figure out which part of Mesa is actually yours.

We cover the freeway box (60/101/202) and why the commute surprises people, the Northeast Mesa foothills — Red Mountain Ranch, Las Sendas, Mountain Bridge — where you get real elevation and views that drive resale value, and the old orange-grove neighborhoods like The Groves where a ranch home on an irrigated lot costs a fraction of North Central Phoenix.

Who pays for the inspection? What about the appraisal? 🤔🏡

If you’re buying a home in Arizona, you need to understand both before you go under contract.

Chelsea breaks down who typically pays, what these costs look like, what happens when something goes wrong and how inspection and appraisal contingencies can protect you.

Chelsea Anderson here with the Anderson Signature Team at Keller Williams Realty Phoenix — and these are the two questions I answer for East Valley buyers every single week.

Who pays for the home inspection?
Who pays for the appraisal?

In a typical Arizona offer, the buyer pays for both. They happen at nearly the same point in the transaction, they're cash out of pocket, and the appraisal usually isn't even on your settlement statement — so if you're budgeting from the closing statement, you'll miss it entirely.

Here's what those numbers actually look like in Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler:

🔍 General home inspection: $350–$500, up to $600. More if there's a pool, solar, or a casita.
🚿 Sewer scope: $100–$200 · ❄️ HVAC report: $100–$150 · 🏊 Pool + spa: $100–$200 · 🏠 Roof: often free
→ Most of our buyers spend $500–$800 on inspections all in.
📋 Appraisal: $550 to almost $700, usually paid up front.

And the part people get backwards — the appraisal isn't protecting you. It protects the lender's position in the value of the house. That's why the lender picks the appraiser and nobody else gets a vote.

None of this is a reason not to buy. It's a reason to know the number going in.
