The read
Week of September 21-27, 2026, in Yong's words.
Phoenix metro recorded 2,325 new listings in the ISO week ending 2026-09-27. Year-over-year comparison data is not yet available for this calendar week.
The week ran 3.6% below the trailing 4-week average of 2413.0 listings and 4.0% above the 52-week long-run baseline of 2235.1. Across the full 12-week window the supply pulse climbed 3.8%, a directional move the chart picks up below.
Recent absorption pace puts months-of-supply at 4.6 months on the trailing-3-month gauge, with the long-run trailing-12 gauge at 4.5. By that ratio the metro classifies as a balanced 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: 13.6% of closings printed above list, 60.4% below. Sellers showed real concession discipline; 54% of closed listings cut their list price before going pending.

98 active listings; median days on market 105 days. Ultra-luxury; off-market share is meaningful, so the published count understates true activity.

Supply and absorption are matched. Neither side carries structural leverage; negotiation reduces to listing-specific dynamics.
