June 2026
Chandler’s real estate market remained healthy in June as inventory continued to tighten and buyer demand stayed consistent. While home prices remain slightly below last year’s levels, the market continues to favor well-priced properties. The rental market also showed encouraging signs, with fewer available homes and significantly faster leasing activity.
Sales Market Highlights
- Active Listings: 760 (13.6% decrease YoY)
- Median Sold Price: $283.06 per SF (2.6% decrease YoY)
- Average Days on Market: 51 days (2.0% increase YoY)
- 30-Year Mortgage Rate: 6.49%
Chandler continues to experience declining housing inventory, giving buyers fewer options than they had a year ago. Although the median sold price per square foot remains modestly below 2025 levels, values have remained stable throughout 2026. Homes are still selling in less than two months on average, reflecting steady buyer demand despite elevated mortgage rates.
Rental Market Highlights
- Active Rental Listings: 193 (36.5% decrease YoY)
- Median Rent: $1.37 per SF (4.9% decrease YoY)
- Median Days on Market: 18 days (29.4% decrease YoY)
The rental market remains highly competitive. Active rental inventory has fallen dramatically compared to last year, and rental homes are leasing exceptionally quickly. While rental rates have softened slightly year over year, the combination of low inventory and an 18-day median leasing period indicates that tenant demand remains very strong.
