#What this means if you're buying in Phoenix
With 3,851 homes actively for sale, Phoenix buyers have a deep pool to choose from. You can afford to be selective — compare several homes before you write an offer.
Today's active listings have averaged 83 days on the market so far. Listings that sit longer often come with more room to negotiate on price or terms.
247 of the active listings include solar (151 owned, 96 leased). Ask about ownership and transfer terms early — assuming a solar lease changes your monthly payment math, while owned panels transfer with the house.

So far this month, 348 new listings have come on the market in Phoenix. That is the fresh competition a newly listed home launches against.
