Maricopa Affidavit Report

October 2026 had 21 working days, the same as September 2026 but one fewer than the 22 in October 2025, so we should expect about 4.5% fewer closings year-over-year from the calendar alone. The actual decline was far larger. Total closings came in at 5,169, down 14.7% year-over-year, or 10.6% per working day, and that…

September 2026 had 21 working days, the same as both September 2025 and August 2026, so neither comparison needs any calendar adjustment this month. Total closings came in at 5,628, down 5.1% year-over-year, a smaller decline than August’s 7.8% but still a genuine one. New home closings fell 15.6%, and resales fell 2.2%. Month over…

Total closings came in at 5,417, down 7.8% year-over-year,…

Total closings came in at 6,210, up 1.7% year-over-year, and because the working days match…

June 2026 had 21 working days, one more than June 2025 and May 2026. This means it would be fair to expect 5% more closings than for both the month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons. The resale closings far exceeded that target, up 12.3% year-over-year, but new home sales were very weak, down more than 20%. The…
