The read
Week of May 25-31, 2026, in Yong's words.
Phoenix metro recorded 2,258 new listings in the ISO week ending 2026-05-31, a count that pulled back -7.2% versus the prior week. Compared to the same calendar week one year ago, the count printed 12.3% above that mark, a meaningful divergence from the year-ago baseline.
The week ran 9.5% below the trailing 4-week average of 2496.3 listings and 3.0% above the 52-week long-run baseline of 2191.4. Across the full 12-week window the supply pulse eased 16.4%, a directional move the chart picks up below.
Recent absorption pace puts months-of-supply at 3.3 months on the trailing-3-month gauge, with the long-run trailing-12 gauge at 3.3. 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, 47.9% below. Sellers showed real concession discipline; 36% of closed listings cut their list price before going pending.

84 active listings; median days on market 119 days. Ultra-luxury; off-market share is meaningful, so the published count understates true activity.
