In fact, 70% of the top 100 U.S. metros are either favoring buyers or trending that direction\u2014the highest we&#039;ve seen since 2019. Seller\u2019s markets have slipped to just 25%. Listing prices have dropped in 60 metros, with the South tilting toward buyers and the Midwest still holding steady for sellers.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean here in the Valley? It\u2019s a clear sign that pricing strategically and understanding local trends matter more than ever. Gone are the days of listing high and waiting.

If you\u2019re weighing your next move in Metro Phoenix, know that you have options, and a path forward that fits your goals. No sugar-coating\u2014just the real market, and real answers.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"roomvu-news-continue\" href=\"https:\/\/azbigmedia.com\/real-estate\/heres-how-metro-phoenix-ranks-among-buyer-friendly-housing-markets\/\"><\/p>\n<div>Continue to full article<\/div>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Phoenix is making headlines as one of the more buyer-friendly housing markets right now.
