March 2026 Phoenix Metro Real Estate and Rental Market Update

The Phoenix market is continuing its shift toward balance. Inventory has stopped expanding, homes are moving faster, and the rental market is quietly tightening.

Sales Market

  • Active Listings: 22,354 (↓ 1% YoY)
    → Inventory growth has stalled after a year of heavy increases—big signal the market is stabilizing
  • Median Sold $/SF: $254.88 (↓ 3.0% YoY)
    → Prices still soft, but the rate of decline is slowing
  • Avg Days on Market: 54 days (↑ 3.8% YoY)
    → Homes are selling faster month-over-month as buyers step back in
  • 30-Year Mortgage Rate: 6.50%
    → Rate bump could slow momentum, but not enough to reverse current trends

Rental Market

  • Active Listings: 4,171 (↓ 6.0% YoY)
    → Supply is tightening after months of oversupply
  • Median Rent $/SF: $1.32 (↓ 2.2% YoY)
    → Rents still under pressure, but nearing stabilization
  • Median Days on Market: 35 days (↑ 9.4% YoY)
    → Leasing still taking longer than last year, but improving from recent highs

Takeaway

  • Inventory leveling off is the biggest story
  • Pricing pressure remains, but is easing
  • Rental supply tightening could be the next shift

Bottom line:
Phoenix isn’t correcting anymore—it’s normalizing.
