The read
Week of August 10-16, 2026, in Yong's words.
Phoenix metro recorded 1,895 new listings in the ISO week ending 2026-08-16, a count that rose +4.8% versus the prior week. Compared to the same calendar week one year ago, the count printed 2.6% above that mark, a modest year-over-year drift.
The week ran 9.7% above the trailing 4-week average of 1727.0 listings and 3.2% below the 52-week long-run baseline of 1957.1. Across the full 12-week window the supply pulse climbed 8.0%, a directional move the chart picks up below.
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.

58 active listings; median days on market 153 days. Ultra-luxury; off-market share is meaningful, so the published count understates true activity.
