About this chart

This chart counts the homes sold each calendar quarter since 2011, from residential deeds recorded by Maricopa and Pinal Counties. Because it is built from recorded deeds, it covers every recorded sale, not just homes listed on ARMLS: new homes, private sales, and investor deals are all included.

The newest quarter is usually only part of a quarter, because the records run to the end of last month. A part quarter’s bar is short, so compare it with the same months of earlier years. Hover over a bar to see the exact figure for that quarter.
