📉 What’s Driving the Market?
Rising mortgage rates and buyer fatigue continue to influence the market. With interest rates hovering near 7%, buyers are more cautious and price-sensitive, even in highly desirable areas like Chandler and Gilbert. Despite this, the Southeast Valley remains resilient thanks to:
-
Proximity to shopping, dining, and schools
-
Availability of irrigated horse property
-
A variety of non-HOA and county island lots
-
Well-maintained horse amenities, including barns, arenas, and pasture space

🐎 For Buyers:
-
Now is a great time to negotiate. Inventory is stable, sellers are active, and days on market have decreased—indicating realistic pricing and motivated sellers.
-
Look for value: The median sold price per square foot is down even as home sizes and overall prices increase. You may get more land and house for your dollar.
🏡 For Sellers:

Be price-smart. While list prices are up, buyers are still negotiating below asking, and properties that are overpriced risk sitting longer.

Highlight horse amenities: Listings with arenas, barns, and irrigation are gaining more attention and commanding stronger offers.
