Price Cuts Surge in Phoenix Housing Market 📉
Spring typically brings fresh energy to the housing market—but this year, it’s also bringing price cuts. As affordability concerns grow and inventory levels climb, many homeowners are adjusting expectations and trimming their asking prices to stay competitive. Nowhere is this trend more noticeable than right here in Phoenix, where sellers are slashing prices at the highest rate among the nation’s top metros.
🏖️ Other Sun Belt Cities Are Seeing Similar Trends
While Phoenix leads the pack, it’s not alone. Nine of the top 10 markets with the most price reductions are spread across the Sun Belt—from Florida to Texas to South Carolina. Here's a quick snapshot:
North Port, FL: 30.1% of listings saw price cuts; homes spent 70 days on the market.
Tampa, FL: 29.3% with cuts; inventory up 32.1%.
Cape Coral, FL: 28.2% price reductions, with homes sitting a long 81 days.
Jacksonville, FL, Palm Bay, and Deltona round out Florida’s representation, each showing rising inventory and more price flexibility.
Austin, TX and Charleston, SC also made the list, with about a quarter of listings seeing markdowns.
Denver, CO was the only non-Sun Belt city to break into the top 10. With a 65% inventory increase, even the Mile High market is feeling the effects of supply outpacing demand.
🏡 What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, especially those who’ve been feeling priced out, this is your moment. A growing inventory and more motivated sellers mean more negotiating power and potential savings—especially in markets like Phoenix where competition is heating up among listings.
For sellers, the key takeaway is: price smart and prepare your home well. Today’s buyers are value-driven and will be comparing your listing with many others. Homes that are priced correctly and show well are still moving.
