Buckeye continues to expand inventory on both the sales and rental side as we move into 2026. Here’s what the numbers are telling us:
🏡 Sales Market
Inventory is rising. Prices are stabilizing. Buyers have options.
- Active Listings: 979
↑ 18.7% year-over-year
(Up from 857 in December) - Median Sold Price per SF: $224.94
↑ 0.4% year-over-year
(Rebounded from December’s 3.7% YoY decline) - Average Days on Market: 69
↓ 9.7% year-over-year
(Slightly slower than December’s 65 DOM) - 30-Year Mortgage Rate: 6.11%
What It Means
Buckeye inventory continues climbing at a healthy pace, giving buyers more leverage than this time last year.
However, the shift in median price per square foot from negative to slightly positive year-over-year suggests pricing may be finding a floor.
Homes are still taking over two months to sell on average — meaning pricing strategy and property condition matter more than ever.
🏘 Rental Market
Rental inventory cooled month-over-month, but tenant demand is softening.
- Active Rental Listings: 130
↑ 18.2% year-over-year
(Down from 153 in December) - Median Rented Price per SF: $1.00
↓ 2% year-over-year - Median Days on Market: 59
↑ 80.3% year-over-year
What It Means
While rental inventory dipped slightly from December, it remains significantly higher than last year.
The big story is days on market jumping 80% year-over-year. Properties are sitting longer, and rents have edged down slightly.
For landlords, this means:
- Accurate pricing is critical.
- Marketing speed matters.
- Property presentation can’t be average.
