The Maricopa County Market, by the Numbers
Maricopa County is the whole Phoenix metro: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Tempe, Mesa, Gilbert and dozens of smaller towns, all in one MLS. This report pulls live from that MLS every day, so the active, pending and sold tables below are always current.

Active listings in Maricopa County as of October 21, 2026, all property types unless noted. Averages, rounded; they change daily and a handful of very high-priced listings pull them up.
Read averages carefully. A county this size mixes new-build starter homes in the high $300Ks with estates listed at tens of millions. The average tells you very little about the house you want. Use the neighborhood pages for apples-to-apples numbers, or ask me to run comps on a specific area.
