The read
August 2024, in Yong's words.
Phoenix metro closed 8,624 residential transactions in August 2024, with aggregate dollar volume of $3438.15M. Volume pulled back -5.7% year-over-year. Median price-per-square-foot landed at $257.
Median days on market sat at 63 days, 16.7% longer than a year ago. Across the trailing twelve months the median price-per-sqft trend held its shape, with no meaningful directional move in the line.
Recent absorption pace puts months-of-supply at 2.6 months on the trailing-3-month gauge, with the long-run trailing-12 gauge at 2.7. By that ratio the metro classifies as a seller’s market, the gauge below telegraphs where the metro sits on the buyer-to-seller spectrum.
Inside the latest closed cohort, negotiation pressure tilted modestly toward buyers: 11.8% of closings printed above list, 48.2% below. Sellers showed real concession discipline; 34% of closed listings cut their list price before going pending.
