Looking back at 2025, the Maricopa housing market firmly settled into a buyer’s market. Inventory has steadily climbed over the past few years: In 2020, there were about 200 homes listed at any given time; by 2022, that number had jumped to 550. Fast forward to 2025, and the average hovered around 800 homes for sale. Buyers now hold the advantage, with plenty of options to choose from.
Home prices reflected this shift. In January 2025, the average sales price was $367,200, but by last month it had dipped slightly to $359,622. The trendline for prices moved inversely to inventory — values declined gradually as listings rose from 740 that month to 800 by year’s end.
