December closed out 2025 with a slower, softer housing market in Maricopa—especially compared to last year. Both buyers and renters are taking more time to make decisions, and pricing pressure remains present on both sides of the market.
Sales Market
- Active Listings: 641 homes (↑ 4.2% YoY)
- Median Sold Price per SF: $183.77 (↓ 3.1% YoY)
- Average Days on Market: 84 days (↑ 100% YoY)
- 30-Year Mortgage Rate: 6.10%
Inventory is slightly higher than last year, but the bigger story is demand. Homes are taking twice as long to sell, signaling cautious buyers and limited urgency. Price per square foot has slipped modestly, reinforcing a buyer-leaning environment.
Rental Market
- Active Rental Listings: 113 (↓ 11.7% YoY)
- Median Rent per SF: $0.89 (↓ 9.7% YoY)
- Median Days on Market: 48 days (↑ 24.7% YoY)
Rental supply is down, but that hasn’t translated into pricing power. Rents are meaningfully lower than last year, and longer leasing timelines suggest tenants have more leverage than they did in 2024.
Bottom line:
Maricopa ends 2025 in a slower, more deliberate market. Buyers and renters have time, sellers and landlords need sharper pricing and stronger presentation, and patience is the name of the game heading into 2026.
