In My Opinion — By Alan Ripa, P.C.
Having navigated three major market corrections in the Town of Paradise Valley, I’ve learned that the most important shifts don’t make headlines—they reveal themselves quietly to those paying attention.
In 2025, the signals were clear: the market was transitioning. Today, that shift is undeniable. We are in a buyer-advantage environment, and many sellers are still adjusting—often chasing the market downward.
For buyers, this creates a rare window of opportunity.
Timing, however, is everything.
If you’re considering purchasing in Paradise Valley, waiting just a bit longer may significantly improve your position—but knowing exactly when to act is where real advantage is gained.
If you’d like insight on the optimal timing to buy—and how to capitalize on this shifting market—I invite you to contact me directly for a confidential discussion.
Shift to Buyer Advantage
Market Action Index: Buyer-leaning
👉 This is a major shift from:
2021–2022: strong seller’s market
2023–2024: balanced
2025–2026: selective buyer leverage
What Indicates a Buyer-Advantage Shift?
- Inventory is up — buyers have more choices than they did in 2024 and early 2025.
- Days on market are longer — many luxury homes are taking months rather than weeks to sell.
- Price reductions are more common — sellers are adjusting expectations.
- Negotiations have returned — buyers are obtaining concessions, inspection repairs, and price adjustments.
- Multiple-offer situations are less frequent except for exceptionally priced or unique properties.
By Price Segment
- $2M–$5M: Mostly balanced market with a slight buyer advantage.
- $5M–$10M: Clear buyer advantage due to increased competition among sellers.
- $10M+: Strong buyer advantage. There are fewer qualified buyers, longer marketing times, and greater negotiating leverage.
- $20M+ and trophy properties: Very property-specific. Unique estates can still command strong pricing, but buyers are highly selective.
