Queen Creek reality check: supply tightened (3.7 → 2.9 months) and sales/month rose (99 → 112),
but DOM (sold) is still long (101 days) and the market index sits below 100 (69.4), which is why this reads buyer-leaning right now.

Market call
Market: BUYER-LEANING
Cromford® Market Index is 69.4 (below 100), with 101 median DOM (sold).
Even with tighter supply (2.9 months), that speed + index combo is why buyers have more leverage than a “seller-leaning” market.
Quick pulse shifts vs last month (12/1 → 1/1):
actives 396 → 354, pending 89 → 57, under contract 119 → 85, sales/month 99 → 112.
Buyer standings — January 2026
- Time is leverage: median DOM (sold) is 101 days.
- Still watch the supply: months of supply tightened to 2.9 (excl. UCB/CCBS), so the best listings can still move.
- Negotiate strategically: average sale-to-list is 97.95% (discounts/credits exist, usually tied to price band + condition).
Seller standings — January 2026
- Pricing discipline matters: median monthly sold price moved $659,000 → $625,495.
- Condition matters: listing success rate is 72.3% (not everything closes).
- Speed is slower: median DOM (sold) is 101; “hope pricing” usually turns into concessions.

Some homes in Queen Creek have a QC mailing address while sitting in San Tan Valley or an unincorporated part of Pinal County, so schools, taxes and services can differ even with a “Queen Creek” address.
It is important to note individual home prices and days on market will vary per property. The home's location within the neighborhood, updates/upgrades to the interior and exterior of the home, lot size, lot orientation, and layout all play a critical factor.
