January Mesa Real Estate Market Update

As we kick off the new year, the Mesa housing market is showing strong signs of balance and stability. Buyer interest remains steady, sellers are pricing realistically, and homes are continuing to move at a healthy pace without signs of overheating.

Market Health & Activity

• There are currently 1,205 active listings and 227 pending sales in Mesa.
• This results in a pending-to-active ratio of 19%, signaling steady buyer interest without intense competition.
• Average days on market (DOM) for active listings: 79 days
• Average DOM for sold homes (past 6 months): 71 days
• Homes are moving consistently, but buyers still have time to make thoughtful decisions and negotiate.

Buyer & Seller Behavior

• Sellers are achieving 98% of their final list price on average, showing realistic pricing and limited discounting.
• Months’ supply of inventory: 3.1 — a balanced level that doesn’t strongly favor buyers or sellers.
• Pending-to-active price ratio: 0.982, meaning pending sales are happening at prices very close to current active listings.
• These trends point to stable pricing with little downward pressure.

Potential Future Directions

With inventory holding steady and a balanced months’ supply, sharp price swings appear unlikely in the near term. If pending ratios rise or inventory drops, conditions could begin to favor sellers. On the other hand, if inventory builds or days on market increase further, buyers may gain more leverage.

Overall, high sale-to-list ratios and moderate DOM suggest a healthy, sustainable market — not overheated and not cooling too quickly.

Advice for Buyers & Sellers

For Sellers: Pricing competitively and presenting your home well remains critical. Buyers are active, but they are discerning and focused on value.

For Buyers: There is a reasonable selection of homes and time to act, but strong offers are still needed to secure desirable properties.

Bottom Line

The Mesa real estate market is starting the year in a strong, balanced position. With stable pricing, steady buyer demand, and healthy inventory levels, both buyers and sellers can find opportunities in today’s conditions.
