Chandler Housing Market Update
What each monthly update includes
Each Chandler market update looks at price direction, months of supply, days on market, sold-to-list ratio, and what is changing by zip code.
Data preference: Cromford + ARMLS + local real estate context.
Why Chandler is not one market
Chandler is one city, but its housing market changes by location, home age, commute pattern, school demand, employer access, and neighborhood type. Central Chandler, West Chandler near South Tempe, Ocotillo, and South Chandler can attract different buyer pools and show different pricing power.

Start with the newest Chandler housing market update first. Older monthly reports are useful for spotting whether pricing, inventory, buyer leverage, and seller leverage are improving or weakening over time.
Chandler market context
Chandler sits in the East Valley and is often compared with Gilbert, Tempe, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Scottsdale, and Queen Creek. But Chandler has its own mix of established neighborhoods, employment corridors, freeway access, Ocotillo-area demand, lake and golf-adjacent communities, and South Chandler move-up housing.
The monthly reports below are meant to make that easier to track without treating Chandler like one flat citywide market.

How to read Chandler by ZIP code
85224: central Chandler convenience, Dobson corridor access, older resale homes, and commute strength often matter as much as the house itself.
85225: downtown and east Chandler mix. Remodeling variance matters, especially kitchens, baths, roof age, HVAC age, lot size, and HOA versus no HOA.
85226: west Chandler bordering South Tempe. Buyers often compare this zip code directly against Tempe for location, freeway access, and commute convenience.
85248: Ocotillo area, with lakes and golf-adjacent pockets. It usually pulls more move-up, executive, and higher-amenity demand.
85249: south Chandler, with many late-1990s and 2000s homes. School pockets, lot size, pool premiums, and neighborhood condition matter a lot.
85286: newer-leaning south Chandler pockets with a wider pricing spread by floor plan, lot size, upgrades, commute routes, and builder-era differences.
