Outside the Arena: General Phoenix Real Estate Market Update

Glendale vs. Peoria, Arizona Real Estate Market Comparison – September 2025
As of September 2025, both Glendale and Peoria, Arizona, are experiencing active, balanced real estate markets—but each city presents unique trends, pricing dynamics, and opportunities for homebuyers. Whether you’re considering purchasing your first home or planning to upgrade, understanding the differences between these two neighboring markets can help guide your next move.

Market Overview: Stability and Growth in Both Cities
Peoria and Glendale share similarities in market balance, each hovering around four months of housing supply—a level that generally favors neither buyers nor sellers.

• Peoria: 3.95 months of supply, up 8% month-over-month and 13% year-over-year.

• Glendale: 3.69 months of supply, up 6% month-over-month and a notable 21% year-over-year increase.

While both markets are stable, Glendale’s sharper annual increase in inventory may provide slightly more breathing room for buyers seeking variety and negotiation flexibility.

Listings and Pricing: Peoria Leads in Median Prices
Peoria’s home prices continue to outpace Glendale’s, reflecting differences in community development, home sizes, and amenities.

Peoria’s higher price points align with its newer master-planned communities and larger suburban homes, while Glendale offers more affordability and access to established neighborhoods closer to central Phoenix.

Sales Performance: Both Markets See Price Growth
Both cities reported monthly gains in median sold prices, signaling continued buyer demand.

• Peoria: Median sold price of $527,788, up 7% from August.

• Glendale: Median sold price of $426,750, up 3% month-over-month.

Homes in both cities sell close to asking price:

• Peoria: 97.84% of list price.

• Glendale: 97.71% of list price.

Peoria homes are staying on the market a bit longer (median 56 days) compared to Glendale’s 46 days, indicating that buyers in Glendale may be acting more quickly—perhaps drawn by its relative affordability and location advantages.

Buyer Opportunities and Takeaways

• Affordability: Glendale remains the more affordable entry point into West Valley homeownership, ideal for first-time buyers.

• Appreciation Potential: Peoria’s rising prices and newer developments suggest long-term investment potential for move-up buyers and families seeking lasting value.

Final Thoughts
Whether your priority is space and recreation or value and accessibility, both cities offer promising opportunities for homeownership in the thriving West Valley real estate landscape. Both areas offer horse properties and in Glendale you’ll even have the opportunity for irrigation horse properties.

Why the Glendale and Peoria Corridor Stands Out for Horse Owners

• Spacious Acreages: Zips 85383 (Peoria) and 85308 (Glendale) offer non-HOA estates with large barns.

• Flood Irrigation: Properties near 43rd Ave. and Greenway Rd. feature irrigation.

• Trail Access: Lake Pleasant Regional Park provides riding trails, enhancing appeal.

Beyond the Paddock: (National Report)

• Average interest on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to about 6.19%, the lowest in more than a year. AP News+2MarketWatch+2

• The 15-year fixed mortgage rate also dropped to around 5.44%. AP News+1

• This is the third week in a row of declining rates, driven in large part by falling yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury and market expectations that the Federal Reserve may cut its key rates further. MarketWatch+1

Why it matters

• With borrowing costs easing, this could open a “window of opportunity” for homebuyers and those looking to refinance—especially after a period of high rates. MarketWatch+1

• However, despite the decline, affordability remains a challenge. Most homeowners already locked in rates below 6%, so many may not benefit immediately from refinancing unless rates dip significantly further. MarketWatch

• The housing market could see renewed momentum if rates continue down, but a full rebound likely depends on other factors like inflation, supply of homes and economic growth. Barron’s+1

What homebuyers should keep in mind

• If you’re in the market now, this could be a better time than recently to lock in financing—especially if you’ve been waiting for rates to drop.

• But don’t assume rates will keep falling rapidly; market conditions can change and past rate cuts haven’t always meant mortgage rates dropped further. ABC News+1

• For homeowners considering refinancing: check your current rate. If you’re already under 6% (or much lower), the benefit of refinancing may be limited.

• Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield and Fed announcements—they’re good indicators for where mortgage rates may go next.

Final thought

Lower mortgage rates are a positive sign and could help reinvigorate parts of the real estate market. But while we’re seeing progress, the environment is still cautious. For many buyers and homeowners, timing, budget and market conditions will matter just as much as the rate itself.
