Phoenix Urban Village Snapshot

About this chart

This table shows 38 measures of the market for single-family detached homes in each of 14 of the City of Phoenix’s urban villages, one village at a time. Pick the village from the box at the top. Rio Vista, the fifteenth village, has too few sales to include.

Each measure is shown today, a month ago, a quarter ago, a year ago, and two years ago, and earlier dates back to January 2018 can be chosen from the date box. The ST and LT marks compare today with last month and with last year, colored by whether the change favors sellers or buyers.

Urban villages are planning areas inside the City of Phoenix, so every home in them is also counted in Phoenix. Laveen Urban Village is not the same as the postal city of Laveen, and Paradise Valley Urban Village is not the Town of Paradise Valley.

Cromford® Market Index by City – Gauges

About this chart

This page shows three gauges for one city: the Cromford® Supply Index, Market Index, and Demand Index at their latest reading, for single-family detached resale homes on ARMLS. It opens on Phoenix; pick any of the 34 cities from the list.

Each dial has three bands, below 90, 90 to 110, and above 110, and the needle takes the color of the band it points into. On the Market and Demand dials green is above 110 and red below 90; on the Supply dial the colors are reversed, because low supply favors sellers.

A Market Index below 90 indicates a buyer’s market, above 110 a seller’s market, and between 90 and 110 a balanced market.
