County by County: What the Data Shows
Maricopa County · 2026-05 · median $484,000 · -0.81% YoY
Maricopa County’s residential market is roughly flat to slightly softer on prices overall, with Redfin showing a recent median sale price of $484K, down 0.81% year over year over the three months ending May 2026.[2] Inventory and demand are still active rather than stagnant: Redfin reports 6,129 homes sold in May, a slightly longer average market time of 59 days, and a 97.9% sale-to-list ratio, while a June market update says homes under contract surged and new listings have remained structurally constrained.[2][1] That combination points to a market that is still competitive for well-priced homes, but not broadly seller-dominated; buyers have more room than during the peak frenzy, yet correctly priced listings are still attracting steady interest.[2][1] Local drivers remain supportive, including ongoing Greater Phoenix population growth and migration, continued construction constraints on new listings, and a metro economy anchored by major employers in technology, health care, logistics, and advanced manufacturing, which help sustain housing demand even as price growth moderates.[1]
Pinal County · 2026-01 · median $385,000 · +1.3% YoY
Pinal County’s residential market shows modestly rising prices, with the median sale price up 1.3% year over year in January 2026 and homes selling for about 98% of list on average.[1] Inventory is sufficient to keep the market from being highly competitive, as homes now take about 87 days to sell, slightly longer than a year ago.[1] Conditions are relatively balanced between buyers and sellers, with sales volume down year over year but no sign of severe distress.[1] Local demand is supported by ongoing growth in communities such as Casa Grande, which is highlighted for affordability and expansion within one of Arizona’s fastest-growing regions.[4]
Pima County · 2026-06 · median $352,000 · +1.4% YoY
Pima County’s residential market is stable to mildly cooling, with median list prices holding around $420,000 even as a large share of sellers implement price reductions.[1] Inventory remains relatively tight, and a Market Action Index of 36 indicates demand still modestly favors sellers, though longer marketing times and buyer price sensitivity are evident.[1] Most homes now take about 2-3 months to sell, and Arizona has seen rising preforeclosure activity, including in Pima County, which adds a layer of financial stress to the market.[1][7][8] Locally, growth in the Sonoran Corridor near Tucson International Airport and large new projects like the roughly 2,000-home Camino Verano master plan are driving construction and future housing supply tied to expanding employment in that corridor.[5]

Figures on this page are compiled from public market sources (redfin.com, realtor.com, homes.com, movoto.com, census.gov, realestate.usnews.com) and refreshed twice weekly. Every metric carries an as-of date, and confidence is tracked per figure. When a metric cannot be verified for a city, it is left blank rather than estimated. The full research pipeline, including per-figure citations, is documented for AI assistants on our AI reference page.
