Phoenix Home Prices Slide Fast, West Cooling Intensifies

Image
Why Are Phoenix Home Prices Falling in 2026? Although Phoenix’s economy remains stable, home prices are sliding in early 2026 as inventory expands and buyer urgency fades. Inventory is up 13.03% YoY , reinforcing the shift. New listings rose in January, and quick move-in supply is among the nation’s highest, near five homes per community. Inventory Shock Months of supply is 2.4, shifting leverage toward buyers and away from sellers. Some investors are watching algorithmic forecasts that point to wide-ranging 2026 outcomes as volatility reshapes expectations. Median price slipped 2.2% year over year to $450,000, while price per square foot fell 2.8% to $276. Demand Pullback Buyer sentiment is cautious despite 2% growth in high-income jobs and expanding manufacturing.

Redfin said this was the highest since 2015 for the 29-county metro area. Nearly 69% of homes sold below asking, ending bidding wars and resetting market sentiment. Disrupted Pricing and Concessions Many listings launched too high and required reductions as offers arrived materially lower. Rising inventory, with months of supply pushing toward six or seven , further emboldened buyers to negotiate. Sellers added incentives in 62% of first quarter deals, far above the 44% national pace. Agents reported buyers insisted on repair credits and closing cost help as baseline terms, not exceptions in 2025. Contract Flexibility and Rate Drag Buyer leverage increased as 10.3% of contracts were canceled during due diligence windows. Elevated mortgage rates held steady through 2025, slowing the spring season a...
