  • Will Phoenix Housing Turn in 2027?

    As we watch the Phoenix housing market evolve, it’s clear we’re still feeling the aftereffects of the last construction surge—meaning buyers have more options and a bit more negotiating power these days. While the increased inventory is making homes more attainable for many, it’s also slowing down the pace at which sellers can raise prices unless demand picks up. Recent research tells us that when home prices rise more slowly and mortgage costs ease, it does make it easier for people to purchase across major markets. Looking ahead to 2027, should inventory levels even out and borrowing costs settle into a sustainable range, we may see more buyers jumping in and a more balanced market taking shape. At Incyte Realty, we believe in building genuine connections as we help you navigate these shifts—so your next address truly feels like home.

  • Phoenix Buyers Can Get $60,000 in Builder Incentives

    As local Realtors with Incyte Realty, we’re seeing some remarkable opportunities for Phoenix homebuyers right now. Builders in the Valley are currently offering incentives averaging over $60,000 on new homes—a significant boost for anyone looking to manage both upfront and long-term housing costs. With higher interest rates and rising home prices slowing the market, these builder discounts are a direct response to help more buyers step into new construction. It’s a unique moment for those considering a new build in Phoenix; the savings can make a real difference in achieving your dream address. We’re always focused on creating genuine connections and guiding you through an exceptional experience, so if you’re curious about how these incentives might fit your plans, let’s connect.

  • Phoenix Home Buying This Fall

    As your local Phoenix real estate team, we know that buying a home this fall comes with its own set of opportunities—and a few trade-offs. While mortgage rates have kept monthly payments higher, this season is shaping up to deliver more listings, less competition, and space to negotiate. For those of you prioritizing affordability, it’s worth considering the flexibility, wider selection, and extra negotiating power available right now, even as borrowing costs remain elevated.

    We’re seeing Phoenix stand out as a market where patient buyers might find stronger bargains as the season progresses. With fewer bidding wars, it’s the perfect climate to explore price reductions, request closing cost assistance, or even secure temporary rate buy-downs—giving you more control over your purchase. If you’re planning to settle in for the long term and have built up your savings, this could be an ideal moment to make a move, with the possibility to refinance later if rates come down. Turning dreams into addresses is what we do best, and we’re here to help you navigate all the options this fall.

    Phoenix Homebuyers Enjoy More Choices and Lower Prices

    We're seeing some notable shifts in Phoenix real estate right now. With active listings up 5.2%—largely due to more unsold homes—buyers have a wider range of options to consider. Median home prices have dipped 4.8% to $475K, and nearly 28% of listings have reduced their prices. Homes are also taking a bit longer to sell, spending an average of 67 days on the market, which is above the national average. As your local Incyte Realty team, we understand how these changes can impact your home search or sale. Our focus is always on helping you find the address that fits your dreams, while making the process meaningful and smooth.

Our approach has always been about helping you turn dreams into addresses, and right now, success comes down to smart comparisons, realistic pricing, and strong terms.
