The East Valley housing market update for July 2025 shows a market that’s cooling but not crashing. According to the July 2025 ARMLS® STAT Report, housing trends are moving toward balance — with more choices for buyers and longer timelines for sellers. Here’s what the latest numbers mean for Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, and surrounding areas.
East Valley Housing Inventory & Supply – July 2025
Active listings dipped slightly in July, with just under 7,000 homes on the market. While that’s fewer than we saw in the spring, it’s still higher than this time last year.
Supply now sits at 3.9 months, up from 2.9 months last summer. That shift means buyers in the East Valley have more options than they did a year ago — a sign the market is moving away from the extreme seller’s market of recent years.
Home Prices in the East Valley Market
The median sales price held steady at $440,000, unchanged from July 2024. However, price per square foot has softened — down about 5% compared to six months ago.
For sellers, this highlights the importance of realistic pricing. For buyers, it means affordability pressures have eased slightly, creating more breathing room in negotiations.
How Long Homes Are Taking to Sell (Days on Market)
Homes are taking longer to sell across the East Valley. The median days on market rose to 63 days in July, nearly two weeks longer than last summer. Buyers are moving more carefully, and sellers should be prepared for longer timelines before closing.
What These Trends Mean for Buyers & Sellers
- Buyers: More inventory and slower price growth mean you can shop with less pressure and negotiate terms. Mortgage rates are still a factor, but buyers now have leverage not seen in the past few years.
- Sellers: Homes are still selling, but patience is key. Pricing competitively and presenting your home well will determine how quickly it moves.
