Queen Creek Housing Market July 2026 Queen Creek, AZ – city-level snapshot for single-family detached homes.
Q: What is happening in the Queen Creek housing market right now?
A: As of July 2, 2026 buyer’s market : 3.7 months of supply (excluding UCB/CCBS), median monthly sold price $699,000 , days on market (sold) 90 days,
and an average sale-to-list of 97.10% . The Cromford® Market Index sits at 52.5 – down from last month’s 55.2, and the move came from the demand side.
What this means Negotiation: Homes are selling for about 97.10% of list price on average – roughly 2.9% under asking (varies by home). That softened from last month’s 98.65%, so buyers picked up real room at the table.How much is for sale: Inventory is 3.7 months (excluding UCB/CCBS) – up from last month’s 3.3. The CMI at 52.5 still says buyers hold the structural advantage; the supply side of the index remains elevated at 165.9 .How long it takes: Recently-sold homes averaged 90 days on market – up from 78 days last month, and now longer than the 85 days active listings are averaging. Homes are taking longer to sell – buyers are being choosy.Pricing reality ($/SF): Monthly sold $/SF is $282.21 while active list $/SF is $321.43 . That is a $39.22/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 end-of-month reporting.

Queen Creek reality check: The CMI slipped from 55.2 to 52.5 this month, and the move came from demand: the Demand Index fell from 95.0 to 87.0 while the Supply Index also eased (171.9 to 165.9 ) – demand cooled faster, so the index drifted lower.
The median monthly sold price jumped from $630,000 to $699,000 , but average closed size rose with it (2,643 to 2,828 sq ft ) – so a large part of that lift is bigger homes selling. Per-foot pricing did firm too: monthly sold $/SF rose from $269.03 to $282.21 , on just 115 closings.
The pace told a different story: sold DOM slowed from 78 to 90 days and sale-to-list eased from 98.65% to 97.10% , so the homes that closed carried firmer per-foot prices but took longer and gave back more at the table.
The pipeline thinned – pending fell from 95 to 85 , under-contract from 155 to 135 , and closings from 131 to 115 – while supply rose to 3.7 months . Queen Creek remains a buyer’s market at CMI 52.5; this month, closed prices firmed even as demand cooled further.
Median sold price (monthly sales)

Inventory (months of supply, excl. UCB)
3.7 mo MORE SUPPLY (3.3 → 3.7)
Speed (DOM, sold)

Negotiation (avg sale price % of list)
97.10% SOFTER (98.65% → 97.10%)
Market call Market: BUYER’S MARKET – DEMAND IS COOLING
The Cromford® Market Index moved from 55.2 to 52.5 this month – anything well under 90 is buyer territory. The cause: the Demand Index dropped from 95.0 to 87.0 while the Supply Index eased to 165.9 (from 171.9). Demand cooled faster than supply, so the index drifted lower – fewer buyers in the pipeline, not a flood of new listings.
Sale-to-list at 97.10% means the homes that close are closing further under ask than last month; what buyers gain here is selection, time, and real negotiating room.
The fastest-moving signals cut both ways: the median sold price rose to $699,000 and monthly sold $/SF firmed to $282.21 – though much of the median move is larger homes selling – while sold DOM slowed to 90 days , closings fell to 115 , and pending dropped to 85 , which runs with the buyer-market read.
Quick pulse vs last month (6/2 → 7/2 496 → 481 , pending 95 → 85 ,
under contract 155 → 135 , and sales/month 131 → 115 .
Pricing per sq ft: Active list $/SF $319.05 → $321.43 ; Monthly sold $/SF $269.03 → $282.21 ; Under contract $/SF $305.75 → $303.61 .
Sold $/SF jumped while under-contract $/SF eased – the homes that closed this month carried firmer per-foot pricing than what is currently going under contract.
Buyer standings – July 2026 (what to do) Here is the buyer takeaway for July 2026.
The CMI is your leverage: At 52.5 , Queen Creek is in buyer territory (55.2 last month, 66.2 last quarter). Use it on listings that have sat – and note sale-to-list just softened to 97.10%, so sellers are giving more at the table.Use the $/SF gap: Active list is $321.43/SF vs monthly sold $282.21/SF – a $39.22 spread. If a listing is priced well above what is actually closing, that gap is your opening for price reductions or seller concessions.Target the sitters: Sold homes now average 90 days – longer than the 85-day active average – and slower than last month’s 78. The listings aging past that mark are where concessions show up most reliably.Annual median is flat, not climbing: The annual median is $668,450 , about even with last year’s $668,995. You are not racing appreciation in Queen Creek right now – take the time to negotiate properly.Read the monthly median jump carefully: It rose to $699,000 from $630,000, but bigger homes drove it – average closed size jumped to 2,828 sq ft from 2,643. Anchor your offer to $/SF comps ($282.21 closed), not the headline median.Seller standings – July 2026 (what matters) Demand cooled again – that is the headline: The CMI fell from 55.2 to 52.5 on a Demand Index drop (95.0 to 87.0), not a supply surge. Fewer active buyers means pricing precision matters more, not less.Read your comps by the foot, not the median: The median jumped to $699,000 , but average closed size rose to 2,828 sq ft with it – larger homes selling drove much of that. Per-foot pricing did firm to $282.21 from $269.03; price to closed comps for your size and area.Three in four listings are selling: Listing success rate is 74.7% , down from 77.1% last month. The roughly one in four listings that fail are disproportionately the overpriced ones.Homes are taking longer and giving more back: Sold DOM slowed to 90 days from 78, and sale-to-list eased to 97.10% from 98.65%. Buyers are choosy – clean pricing and presentation are what keep you out of the stale pile.Price to the closing market: Monthly sold $/SF is $282.21 and under-contract is running at $303.61 , while active listings ask $321.43/SF . The closer you list to supported comps, the faster you move and the fewer concessions you give at the table.Notes & FAQ This is a rolling daily snapshot (today vs the same date last month), using Queen Creek single-family detached metrics from the Cromford® Daily Market Snapshot.
