Four facts Maricopa sellers should know in May 2026

  1. Median days on market: 77 days for homes closed in the last 30 days. 31% of active listings have been sitting 90+ days.
  2. Median sale price: $335,000 in the last 30 days, at a median of $177.56 per square foot. Active inventory sits at 367 homes with a median list price of $368,995.
  3. 4.4 months of supply at the current 90-day sales pace of roughly 84 closings per month. The broader Phoenix metro typically runs near 1.6 months. Maricopa sellers face a very different competitive picture than regional headlines suggest.
  4. Failure rate is real. For every two homes that closed in the last 30 days, roughly one listing came off the market without selling. Pricing and presentation are the difference.

What this means for you: the Maricopa market rewards sellers who price to current buyer demand and penalizes those who hold out for peak-cycle comps. If you are thinking about selling in the next 3 to 12 months, a current, data-driven valuation is the single most important tool you have.
