You keep hearing Phoenix buyers finally have the upper hand. Then you tour a house in Gilbert and the listing agent acts like it's 2021. Both things can be true. "Buyer's market" isn't a mood or a headline. It's a test with actual numbers behind it, and the Phoenix...
The sign's been in the yard for three weeks. The house is spotless every morning, and your phone isn't buzzing. Nobody's said anything bad about the place. Nobody's said much of anything. That silence is information. A listing that sits is telling you something...
