Beyond the Paddock
The Cromford Report indicates 9 Arizona cities became more favorable for buyers over the past month, while 9 moved toward sellers (Gilbert, Queen Creek, Maricopa, and Phoenix switched to green). Leading buyer improvements are Paradise Valley, Peoria, Goodyear, and San Tan Valley (all by 5% or less). The average CMI change was -0.6% (up from -2.1% last week), with the buyer-favoring trend weakening and expected to reverse in two weeks. Supply is stabilizing, demand gaining slowly. There are 6 seller’s markets, 5 balanced, and 7 buyer’s markets. Demand is 20% below normal, not keeping up with supply, putting sellers at a disadvantage. Active listings climbed to 25,785, creating more competition. New supply is plentiful, but demand lags, especially in lower segments—great for first-time buyers with more leverage and options.

The market slows mid-November through holidays, with momentum rare until Super Bowl season. For buyers, this weakening period is ideal to take advantage, especially with supply up and demand low. Sellers should list only if necessary, preparing homes and pricing competitively for the buyer-favoring holiday season. The CMI shows many cities in buyer markets (under 90), some balanced (90-110), and few in seller markets (over 110). Supply is rising, demand 20% below normal, creating seller disadvantages. Active listings at 25,785 pile up, but lower-end buyers have leverage with less competition.
