Did you get all the rain at your house like I did in my neighborhood? The storm woke me up at 245am and the lightning and thunder kept me up till after 4am…and it was raining that entire time.

It rained so much, there was actually water in the New River on Monday!!

It was a busy month. My daughter Ava graduated from Mountain Ridge High School, and will be going to Penrose Academy in the fall. If you need cheap haircuts, hit me up. 😎 ✂️

She will continue working at Starbucks in the Fry’s at 83rd Ave & Deer Valley. If you see the grumpy girl that looks like me, be sure and say hello!! 🤣

My son Tyler just turned 20 this past weekend, and still insists on being a goofball in every picture. He is currently working as a courtesy clerk at the new Safeway store at 83rd Ave & Happy Valley Road. He’s got all the jokes, so if you see him be sure and say hi and ask for the joke of the day.

The cool thing about having an RV garage attached to your home, is that it can be used for so many more things than just storing your RV. Need space for a home gym, room for your business or just storage space? I’ve never had nor will likely ever get an RV, but I still want an RV garage.

This home in Northern Surprise is a great set up, and is a pretty good deal for a newer build with an RV garage. You can see all the pics & info here.

It is only June 3rd, and I’m already dreaming of escaping the heat. This custom home at Forest Highlands in Flagstaff would get the job done for the summer.

6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and over 5,000sf. You should but it and let me use it most weekends. 😎

How is the market in Arrowhead Ranch? Let’s look at some data.

At first glance, the drop in average sold price looks concerning. That is a big drop in one year, right? I was concerned at first too, so I took a harder look at the data.

The price per square foot didn’t really change, and this tells a bit more of the story. The average size of homes sold in May 2025 was 2,119 square feet, versus 2,290 square feet in May 2024. Larger homes sold in 2024, which helps to explain why the average price was much higher. In my opinion, prices have remained flat, just like we see in the average price per square foot numbers.

The one caveat with looking at one month of data for Arrowhead Ranch is that it is a relatively small market and the data can fluctuate pretty easily.

Let’s have a look at what happened in the Phoenix market in May

Lots of stories in the news the past month about increases in housing inventory, and discussion about the current status being a ‘buyer’s market.’

One line that has been prevalent in several of these stories is this ‘there are now more home sellers than there are buyers.’ Yeah, duh. This is always the case, otherwise every house would sell the day it is listed for sale. And prices would be significantly higher.

Yes, the number of homes for sale in the Phoenix Metro area, in all price ranges, has increased quite a bit in the past year. In June of 2024, there were 11,089 single family homes for sale, and now there are 16,133 single family homes on the market. This is a 45% increase.

Looking at the data in the chart (which does not include luxury homes priced over $1 million), if you compare the number of homes sold to the number of homes currently for sale, there are three ‘months of inventory’, which is the time it would take to sell all of the homes on the market, at the current rate if no more homes became available.

Typically, 4-6 months of inventory is considered a normal, or balanced market. In my opinion, we are a long ways from a ‘buyer’s market’ which would require there to be two times as many homes for sale as there are now.

What does this mean if you’re considering buying a home today? Yes, there are more homes for sale, but for now all it means is you will have more options to choose from and potentially less competition for a home you like. Plus you may have the opportunity to negotiate a better price or seller concessions. It likely does not mean you will get huge discounts off of the list price.

This twin home just hit the market in Sun City near 99th Ave & Greenway Road. It is COMING SOON and should be ready for showings at the end of the week. It has fresh paint and brand new carpet, plus a previous owner upgraded the kitchen and both bathrooms. It is listed for $280,000.

This listing in Sun Lakes in Chandler, is a bit different than how I normally showcase a property to the market. This one was an inherited home and the sellers are out of state and unable to move out the furniture, let alone make any improvements.

We’ve had over 40 offers from investors, and we went under contract this past weekend and are moving towards closing next week.

This one needed a lot of work, you can see all the info here.

If you know anyone looking, hook them up with my number. (480) 797-8975 🙏
