Key Findings
- $404,000 median sold price is the primary indicator of recent market value in ZIP 85742 and suggests that recent transactions are slightly below asking levels given the $399,000 median listing price, consistent with a market that appears balanced to slightly cool and stable in pricing.
- 426 median days on market signals materially slower sales velocity and may indicate increased time needed to transact; this longer absorption period suggests pricing friction and more negotiation room for buyers.
- $202 median price per square foot combined with a $1,746 median market rent indicates price-to-rent characteristics where rental demand remains strong; with rents trending up, this supports continued investor interest in cash-flowing units.
- 6.63% current 30-year fixed mortgage rate and elevated interest rate pressure point to higher borrowing costs that are likely constraining buyer purchasing power and contributing to the market's neutral-to-slightly-cool tone; elevated rates may prolong the current slower velocity.
