The read
Week of May 25-31, 2026, in Yong's words.
Phoenix metro recorded 1,820 new listings in the ISO week ending 2026-05-31, a count that pulled back -3.7% versus the prior week. Compared to the same calendar week one year ago, the count printed 3.7% below that mark, a noticeable swing year-over-year.
The week ran 0.3% below the trailing 4-week average of 1825.3 listings and 4.6% below the 52-week long-run baseline of 1908.0. Across the full 12-week window the supply pulse eased 14.2%, a directional move the chart picks up below.
Recent absorption pace puts months-of-supply at 2.2 months on the trailing-3-month gauge, with the long-run trailing-12 gauge at 2.5. 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: 13.4% of closings printed above list, 53.0% below. Sellers showed real concession discipline; 29% of closed listings cut their list price before going pending.

60 active listings; median days on market 69 days. Ultra-luxury; off-market share is meaningful, so the published count understates true activity.
