Queen Creek Housing Market August 2026 Queen Creek, AZ – city-level snapshot for single-family detached homes.
Q: What’s happening in the Queen Creek housing market right now?
A: As of August 6, 2026 a buyer’s market : 4.2 months of supply (excluding UCB/CCBS), median monthly sold price $699,990 , days on market (sold) 88 days, and an average sale-to-list of 97.75% . The Cromford® Market Index is 51.0 – down from 51.8 last month, with demand cooling faster than supply eased.
What this means Negotiation: Homes are selling for about 97.75% of list price – roughly 2.25% under asking on average. That firmed from last month’s 96.97%, so sellers clawed back some ground.How much is for sale: Inventory is 4.2 months (excluding UCB/CCBS), about where it was last month and above last August’s 3.5. The CMI at 51.0 says buyers hold the structural advantage; the supply side of the index remains elevated at 158.6 .How long it takes: Recently-sold homes averaged 88 days on market, and active listings average 90 days . Both are slow by Valley standards.Pricing reality ($/SF): Monthly sold $/SF is $271.09 while active list $/SF is $324.71 . That is a $53.62/SF gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are paying – and that spread is where negotiations happen.This is a rolling snapshot (today vs the same date last month ) so buyers and sellers can track leverage shifts without waiting for month-end reporting.

Queen Creek reality check: The median rose and that is the number most likely to mislead. Median monthly sold price climbed ($667,500 → $699,990 ), but average sold size rose with it (2,812 → 2,984 SF ) while monthly sold $/SF fell ($274.14 → $271.09 ). Bigger homes sold this month; per-foot pricing went down. Volume kept shrinking: closings fell (105 → 95 ) and active listings fell (483 → 433 ), leaving supply about flat (4.1 → 4.2 months , excluding UCB/CCBS). The annual sales rate is down 20.6% against last year. The listing success rate dropped hard (74.5% → 63.3% ) – closer to 2 in 3 listings closing, down from 3 in 4. Against that, sale-to-list firmed (96.97% → 97.75% ) and pending rose (80 → 89 ). With 95 sales in the month, single-month swings here carry less weight than they would in a larger market.

Market call Market:BUYER’S MARKET – DEMAND IS COOLING
Strongly buyer-leaning because Cromford® Market Index is 51.0 – anything well under 90 is buyer territory. The index barely moved from 51.8, and both sides eased: the Demand Index fell from 85.8 to 80.8 while the Supply Index came down from 165.7 to 158.6. Demand cooled a little faster than supply did, which is why the index drifted lower rather than higher. Sale-to-list firmed to 97.75% , so buyers gave back a little at the table this month – but at about 2.25% under ask they still hold more room than buyers in any other market on this list, plus selection and time. The signals cut against each other: the median rose to $699,990 on larger homes selling while sold $/SF fell to $271.09 , closings dropped to 95 , and the listing success rate fell to 63.3% . The structural read has not changed.
Quick pulse vs last month (7/6 → 8/6 483 → 433 , pending 80 → 89 , under contract 131 → 126 , and sales/month 105 → 95 .

Buyer standings – August 2026 (what to do) Here is the buyer takeaway for August 2026.
You hold the leverage: CMI is 51.0 with 4.2 months of supply.

Write to the closed comps, not the asking price.Do not read the median as appreciation: The median rose to $699,990 because average sold size rose to 2,984 SF .
