🍂 October in the Valley is officially here!
Between pumpkin patch weekends, patio weather returning, and fall festivals kicking off across the Phoenix Metro Area. For many, this is their favorite time of year in Arizona.
Behind the scenes, the housing market is seeing its biggest shift of 2026:
📊 For the first time in nearly 3 years, all 18 major Valley cities moved in favor of buyers over the past month.
📍 Scottsdale took the #1 spot on the Cromford Market Index for the first time in recorded history.
🤝 Over 55% of recent closings included seller-paid concessions to help buyers secure rate buydowns and closing credits.
