Outside the Arena: Local Market Overview (Chandler vs. Gilbert)
The Chandler and Gilbert real estate market in September 2025 shows contrasting dynamics—Chandler with more inventory and affordability, Gilbert with tighter supply and quicker sales. Both areas offer equestrian-friendly properties, but their trends cater to different buyer preferences.

Gilbert, with a 2.79-month supply, is slightly seller-favoring, down 4% month-over-month but up 7% year-over-year, creating a more competitive environment.
Pricing and Listings
Chandler’s new listings (not specified) median ~$525,000, active (711) at $530,000, and pending at $515,000 (50 days to contract).

Beyond the Paddock: National Real Estate News
The Cromford Report notes 15 cities became more favorable for buyers over the past month, while 3 (Tempe, Gilbert, Mesa) favored sellers. Leading buyer improvements are Cave Creek and Avondale (all by 6% or less). The average CMI change was -2.8% (down from -1.1% last week), with the buyer-favoring trend continuing until mid-November. We have 5 seller’s markets, 6 balanced, and 7 buyer’s markets. Supply is rising, demand improving slowly; expect supply to peak mid-November, giving sellers 6 weeks of less competition. Demand is 20% below normal and unpredictable, driven by emotional factors. [Source: Cromford Report]
A lot of conversations around home prices, especially in Phoenix, suggest they must come down because buyers aren’t paying them and sellers will be forced to lower prices to sell. But we’re actually seeing sellers take their homes off the market instead. According to Redfin nationally, delistings jumped 28% as sellers pull homes rather than accept low offers. Listings were delisted because they went stale—sellers prefer to stay put than take less. About 12% of total listings were delisted in September, the highest September rate in a decade.
When we look at year-to-date canceled listings in the Valley, 2025 is much higher than past years back to 2020 (not shocking compared to 2020-2022 when everything sold, but definitely higher than the last two years). 20,147 homes canceled year-to-date. This is common in December as sellers take homes off for holidays, but remaining sellers get more buyer eyes with demand increasing. So, it can be a hard time to sell, but you might be in a better position to list or keep listed than in previous years.
