October 2025 West Valley Housing Market Update
West Valley Arizona Housing Market Update – October 2025
The latest data from the Cromford Report shows the Phoenix metro area continuing its gradual shift toward a buyer-friendly market. As of late October, the Cromford Market Index (CMI) for Greater Phoenix sits at 78.7, signaling that supply now outpaces demand across much of the Valley. Inventory has climbed above normal levels, and homes are taking longer to sell — especially in the West Valley, where new construction and resale homes are competing head-to-head.
That said, not every city is moving at the same pace. Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, and Surprise — the communities that make up the heart of the West Valley.
Buckeye – Deep in Buyer Territory
Current Market Index: 52.0
Buckeye remains the coolest market in the West Valley. While buyer demand is holding near normal (99.1), supply is nearly double normal levels (190.4), pushing the Market Index down to 52 — solidly a buyer’s market.
Neighborhoods like Verrado, Victory, and Sundance are seeing increased inventory, with builders offering rate buydowns and closing-cost incentives. For sellers, standing out means being competitive on price and presentation — staging, professional photos, and video marketing make all the difference.

Goodyear – Slowing Toward Balance
Current Market Index: 75.7
Goodyear is cooling but still relatively balanced compared to its neighbors. Demand remains steady, supported by lifestyle-driven communities like Estrella Mountain Ranch/CantaMia, and PebbleCreek.
Rising inventory is creating more breathing room for buyers. Homes are taking longer to sell, and more price adjustments are appearing — especially for larger resale homes competing with new builds offering incentives.

Litchfield Park – Stable but Softening
Current Market Index: 71.2
Litchfield Park remains one of the most stable markets in the West Valley, though it has softened since spring. Inventory has ticked up, but consistent demand from lifestyle buyers keeps the market moving.
Golf-course and gated communities continue to attract interest, even as buyers take more time to make decisions. Pricing strategy is now key for sellers who want to stay competitive in this slower-moving market.

Peoria – Still the Strongest in the West Valley
Current Market Index: 84.6
Peoria continues to outperform its neighbors, hovering just below a balanced market.
Communities like Trilogy at Vistancia, Blackstone, and Northpointe remain highly desirable, especially among cash and 55+ buyers.
While days on market have lengthened, Peoria’s blend of luxury and lifestyle inventory is keeping it stable. Sellers still have an edge, but even here, overpricing can stall showings quickly.

Surprise – Cooling Quickly
Current Market Index: 66.2
Surprise has cooled considerably this fall, sliding from the mid-70s earlier this year to the mid-60s today. Communities like Sterling Grove, Sun City Grand, and Asante are seeing longer days on market.
Builders are offering more incentives, and resale sellers are adjusting pricing to stay competitive. For buyers, this is the most flexible market we’ve seen in years — more choices, less competition, and more negotiation room.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Patience is finally paying off. More inventory means more options, fewer bidding wars, and better terms. If you’re relocating to the West Valley, it’s a great time to explore — especially with builders offering below-market rates and closing cost incentives.
Pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Homes that are move-in ready and well-marketed still sell quickly, but overpricing in this market will quickly lead to longer days on market and price reductions.
