July 31, 2026 by svalada Leave a Comment

The Phoenix Housing Market Isn't One Market Anymore As of late we haved summarized the market by stating, "The Phoenix market is flat," but the reality is that is only part of the story. The July Cromford Report and recent sales stats show that our housing market has become increasingly divided by price point, with three very different markets emerging.

Timing the Market Myth

July 1, 2026 by svalada Leave a Comment

Why Trying to “Time the Market” Usually Backfires If you’re thinking about buying a home you’ve probably heard some version of this advice: “Wait for rates to drop.” “Prices are going to crash.” “The market hasn’t hit bottom yet.” It sounds logical on the surface. Everyone wants the perfect deal, the lowest price, and the best interest rate possible. The problem? Real estate markets Continue Reading

January Market Snapshot: A Seasonal Shift Underway

February 11, 2026 by svalada Leave a Comment

As we wrapped up January, local market data shows that inventory levels have ticked up modestly, with more homes coming to market compared with the late-2025 trough—consistent with normal seasonal patterns where sellers begin listing early ahead of the traditional spring selling season. This gradual boost in supply means buyers now have a bit more choice than they did in late fall and early Continue Reading

September 2025 Market Stats

October 14, 2025 by svalada Leave a Comment

Buyer's Market continues but is slowing down to a more balanced market as some areas are already pulling into balanced or even a mild Seller's market. As with most things in Real Estate each location is different and you really need to analyze the area and even the neighborhood of a home to determine the best listing or offer strategy. Overall, it appears that right now may be the best time for Continue Reading

August Stats

September 16, 2025 by svalada Leave a Comment

As the hot days of Summer wind down, so do our average sale prices, with most price ranges seeing a year-over-year decrease of 1.5-2.0%. Average price per square foot was down about 0.5% from July. The monthly decrease is normal as the luxury market drops out during the hottest months of the year, while the year-over-year we would not classify as seasonal. Buyers are a bit timid as the economy is Continue Reading

Title Fraud is on The Rise

July 26, 2023 by svalada Leave a Comment

Recent months have shown an uptick in title fraud. Scammers have started preying on those with vacant land and no loans.  They pose as the Seller, providing false identification documents to the real estate agent, title, and notaries. They list the land for sale with a reputable real estate broker, sell the property, take the proceeds, and disappear.  Many counties are putting together Continue Reading
