Where do I find current Phoenix housing market statistics — prices, inventory, days on market?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service publishes a free monthly statistics report with median price, inventory, days on market and months of supply for the Phoenix area; it is the source local agents quote. For a specific home, the county assessor shows recorded sales and values, and the Census gives long-run housing figures by city. Local news covers the monthly numbers in plain language. ARMLS, the MLS used by brokers across the Valley, releases a monthly report built from actual listings and closings: new listings, active inventory, pending and closed sales, median and average prices, days on market and months of supply, with charts going back years. Because it is the brokers’ own data, it leads the national portals by weeks. For one property or street, the Maricopa County Assessor’s parcel search shows the recorded sales history, current values and property class for any address, which is how you check what comparable homes actually sold for. The Census QuickFacts give median home value, rent and ownership rates for Arizona and each city, useful for comparing areas over the long run rather than month to month. The Arizona Republic and the Phoenix Business Journal report the monthly numbers and the forces behind them, from mortgage rates to new construction and corporate relocations, which is the context the raw statistics lack. Treat national headlines about “the housing market” with caution; the Phoenix cycle has its own timing.
