After slightly increasing in March and April, new listings in Phoenix have decreased for the third straight month, going from 1,087 in April to 986 in July. This is way below the number of new Phoenix listings for July over the last five years (as this number should be closer to 1,800 right now).

After increasing for the previous six months, the number of active Phoenix listings has now decreased 10 months in a row. Active listings have dropped from 3,729 in September of 2022 to 1,839 in July (reduced by more than half). This is the third month that active Phoenix inventory is lower than the same month last year since April of 2022. The inventory of Phoenix homes is now lower than in July of last year by -46.5%.
Demand is still high due to the low number of homes on the market. Homeowners are locked into a very low mortgage interest rate and don't want to lose that when they sell.
With that said, median home values in Phoenix have actually increased by 6.1% since July of 2022. This is the first month we have seen a year-over-year increase since October of 2022. Even with interest rates around 7.0%, the demand for homes will continue throughout the summer.
