January 2026 Maricopa Real Estate and Rental Market Update

📊 Sales Market – January 2026

  • Active Listings: 689 (0.9% decrease YoY)
    • Up from 641 in December
  • Median Sold Price per SF: $180.05 (5.4% decrease YoY)
    • Down from $183.77 in December
  • Average Days on Market: 82 (16.2% increase YoY)
    • Slight improvement from 84 in December
  • 30-Year Mortgage Rates: 6.11% (essentially unchanged from December)

What This Means

Inventory remains elevated compared to prior cycles, but year-over-year growth has flattened. Pricing continues to soften modestly, and homes are taking longer to sell compared to last year — though January showed slight improvement from December’s pace.

Maricopa remains a price-sensitive, payment-driven market. With rates holding above 6%, buyers are selective and negotiating.


🏘 Rental Market – January 2026

  • Active Rental Listings: 109 (4.8% increase YoY)
    • Slightly down from 113 in December
  • Median Rented Price per SF: $0.89 (6.3% decrease YoY)
    • Unchanged month-over-month
  • Median Days on Market: 54 (17.4% increase YoY)
    • Up from 48 in December

What This Means

Rental pricing remains under pressure year-over-year. Increased marketing times signal more competition among landlords.

For investors, this is a management market — pricing correctly, minimizing vacancy, and screening well are critical to performance.
