Price Changes, Days at the Final Price and Sale Price by Region

About this chart

This chart shows how many times homes changed their list price before going under contract, and what that meant for how long they took to sell and the price they sold for, by region. Each closed resale is grouped by the number of list price changes before the contract that closed, from none to five or more. Price increases and price cuts both count as a change.

The top chart compares two figures for each group. The wide bar is the median Cromford® Days on Market. The solid bar inside it is the median number of days the home spent at its final list price, the price that found the buyer. However long a home was on the market, the time it spent at the price that sold it is usually much shorter.

The top two charts compare any two years from 2020 on, picked with the selectors above them. The lower left chart shows the median sale price as a percentage of the final list price (solid line) and of the initial list price (dashed line). The lower right chart shows the share of closings in each group for the years ticked in the Year panel.

The map shades every ZIP code with its region’s figure for one year at a time, chosen with the year selector above it, so each region reads as one block. A few ZIP codes lie in two regions; they are striped in both regions’ shades and their closings count in both. Regions not ticked in the Region panel are faded. Click a ZIP code to show its region alone in the charts.

Days count while the home was Active or Coming Soon, up to the contract that closed. A contract that fell through does not reset the count. New construction is excluded. Years are by closing date, and the current year is year to date. The chart opens on 2021 and the current year in the Greater Phoenix regions, with manufactured and modular homes left out.

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® Days on Market vs. Price Discount by Region

About this chart

This chart shows the discount from the original list price that sellers accepted, by how long the home was on the market. Homes that closed are grouped by their Cromford® Days on Market, from 0 to 15 days up to more than a year, and each point is the median discount from the original list price for that group. Each year has its own line, with a shaded band showing the range of the middle half of discounts.

It opens on the last three years; tick any year back to 2011 in the Year panel. The buttons on the chart switch between the median discount and the average percentage of the original list price achieved.

By default the days on market count the time a home was Active. Tick Coming Soon, Pending, or UCB / CCBS under Cromford® Days on Market to add that time as well.

It opens with every region included. Use the Region panel to focus on one region or compare a combination of them. Narrow it with the Dwelling Type and Transaction Type boxes and the original list price, home size, and year built sliders. Manufactured and modular homes are left out by default.
