Queen Creek reality check: Sold days on market jumped 25 days in a month (85 → 110 ), the largest single move of any Valley market I track. At 110 days , Queen Creek is the slowest market I cover. Supply did tighten (4.2 → 3.9 months ), and it tightened on the inventory side: active listings fell from 446 to 411 while closings barely moved (96 → 97 ). The median fell ($697,495 → $670,000 ) and average sold size fell with it (2,973 → 2,884 SF ), so smaller homes explain much of that drop; sold $/SF actually rose to $289.97 from $280.62. Sale-to-list slipped to 97.47% , the softest reading in the five periods below. Sales per month are down 17.7% year over year.
What this means Negotiation Homes are selling for about 97.47% of list price, roughly 2.53% under asking on average, or about $16,931 on a median-priced Queen Creek home. Softer than last month’s 97.96% and softer than last September’s 98.01%.
How much is for sale Inventory is 3.9 months (excluding UCB/CCBS), tighter than last month’s 4.2 but looser than last September’s 3.6. Active listings excluding UCB are down 13.9% year over year.
How long it takes Recently-sold homes averaged 110 days on market, up from 85 last month; active listings average 95 days . Sold time now exceeds active time, which means the homes finally closing are the ones that sat longest.
Pricing reality ($/SF) Monthly sold $/SF is $289.97 while active list $/SF is $315.50 . That is a $25.53 spread. Both moved toward each other this month: asking came down, closing went up.
Market call: buyer-leaning, supply is thinning Strongly buyer-leaning because the Cromford® Market Index is 52.3 , far below 100. The 1.0-point rise from 51.3 came off the supply side: the Supply Index fell from 157.0 to 150.4 while the Demand Index also fell (80.5 → 78.6 ). Supply easing pushes the index up, so the small gain came from inventory thinning rather than demand improving.
The uncomfortable number is time. Sold days on market is 110 against active at 95 , and sale-to-list fell to 97.47% . Against that, the listing success rate improved to 68.8% from 64.9% and the contract ratio rose to 29.8 from 28.9. Roughly three in ten Queen Creek listings still come off the market without selling.
Quick pulse vs last month (8/6 → 9/10): active listings 446 → 411 , pending 80 → 81 , under contract 118 → 113 , sales/month 96 → 97 .
Pricing per sq ft: active list $/SF $322.22 → $315.50 ; monthly sold $/SF $280.62 → $289.97 ; under contract $/SF $319.81 → $302.48 .
Buyer standings — September 2026 Here is the buyer takeaway for September 2026.
This is the strongest buyer position in the Valley. CMI 52.3 with 3.9 months of supply. Queen Creek, San Tan Valley and Tempe are the buyer-leaning markets I track this month, and Queen Creek sits lowest of the three.Time is entirely on your side. Sold days on market is 110 , the slowest of any market I cover, and up 25 days in a month. Sellers who listed in June are still waiting.Negotiation is real and widening. Sale-to-list is 97.47% , about 2.53% under ask, or roughly $16,931 on a $670,000 home. That number has moved in your favor two months running.Check the per-foot math before you offer. Active list is $315.50/sf against monthly sold $289.97/sf , a $25.53 spread. Sold $/SF rose this month, so do not assume every listing is negotiable to the same degree.Inventory is thinning. Active listings fell to 411 from 446 and are down 13.9% year over year. Your leverage is high but the selection is narrowing.Seller standings — September 2026 Plan for a long timeline. Sold days on market is 110 . If you need to be out in 60 days, price for that from day one rather than chasing the market down.Price to the closing market. Buyers closed around $289.97/sf while active listings average $315.50/sf . The good news: sold $/SF rose this month while asking fell, so the two are converging.Roughly 7 in 10 listings close. The listing success rate is 68.8% , improved from 64.9% last month but still below last September’s 71.5%.Fewer sellers are competing with you. Active listings fell to 411 , down 13.9% year over year, and that withdrawal is what nudged the index up this month.The annual median holds up better than the monthly one.
