Arizona Real Estate Market Update: July Absorbtion Rates

The Arizona housing market is as hot as our summer temperatures—and understanding where each city stands can help you make strategic, profitable moves whether you’re buying or selling.

One of the most powerful tools we use to understand market dynamics is absorption rate—the pace at which homes are selling in a given area. It tells us whether the market favors buyers, sellers, or is balanced. This data is gold when it comes to negotiating better deals, timing your listing, or deciding which neighborhoods offer the best opportunities for growth.

Let’s take a look at the August 2025 absorption rates in key Arizona cities:

Scottsdale

Sellers Market: $750K–$1.9M – Homes in this range are moving quickly, giving sellers the upper hand.
Buyers Market: $5M+ – High-end buyers have more negotiating power right now.

Mesa

Sellers Market: Up to $999,999 – Competitive conditions mean multiple offers are common.
Balanced Market: $1M+ – Neither side has a strong advantage, making it a good window for fair deals.

Phoenix

Sellers Market: Up to $999,999 – Inventory is tight, and well-priced homes are flying off the market.
Balanced Market: $1M+ – Expect negotiations to be more evenly matched.

Chandler

Sellers Market: Up to $1.9M – Strong demand gives sellers leverage in pricing and terms.
Balanced Market: Over $2M – Luxury buyers have more breathing room to negotiate.

Gilbert

Sellers Market: Up to $1.9M – Quick sales and strong offers are common.
Buyers Market: $2M+ – High-end buyers have more room to negotiate favorable terms.

Why This Matters

Whether you’re a seller aiming to maximize your sales price or a buyer looking for the best deal, knowing your market’s absorption rate is like having a GPS for your real estate journey.

For sellers, we can use this data to time your listing, position your home for competitive bidding, and ultimately net you more money. For buyers, it helps us identify where you have the most leverage—so you can negotiate smart and buy with confidence.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Arizona, now’s the time to leverage local data and expert strategy to make your next move the most profitable one yet.
