Arizona Regional MLS Housing Inventory November 2025
Please NOTE: Adjustments have been made to my reporting
The Arizona Regional MLS has been steadily adding Arizona Counties to it's base of property listings and sales. Most notably, the Sedona MLS was added in March 2025 that incorporates Coconino and Yavapai Counites. Tucson, Flagstaff, and other Arizona MLS's can also add their listings to the Metro Phoenix data base. These additional listings have accounted for an average of 2,493 homes per-month in 2025. I have adjusted all my statistical categories back to January 2020 to now reflect ONLY the Metro Phoenix geography of Maricopa and Pinal Counites. All others have been removed for relevancy to our area.

Arizona Regional MLS Housing Inventory
Arizona Regional MLS Housing Inventory plays a crucial role in shaping the real estate market. When inventory levels are low, it often leads to increased competition among buyers, driving up prices and creating a seller's market. Conversely, a high inventory can result in more choices for buyers, leading to slower and potentially lower prices, creating a buyer's market. these dynamics are essential for both buyers and sellers to make informed decisions in their real estate transactions.
Arizona Regional MLS Housing Inventory can be affected by interest rates, home prices and affordability, and new construction activity. Government policies and regulations, as well as demographics and population growth can be factors in the number of home listings.
When investors enter the housing market aggressively, housing inventory shrinks, competition increases, and affordability can worsen for individual homebuyers. Over time, this can reshape neighborhoods into renter-heavy communities and contribute to long-term supply challenges if new housing isn't built fast enough.
Seasonal trends also affect Arizona Regional MLS Housing Inventory. More sales occur in the spring and early summer, which reduces inventory. Sales slow in fall, and reach they reach their lowest levels in the winter months.
