Is Mesa a buyer's or seller's market right now?
With about 4.6 months of supply, Mesa is a balanced market. Neither side has the upper hand. Buyers have choices and room to negotiate on homes that sit, and well-priced homes still sell.
If you are buying: Look at how long a home has been listed. Homes that have sat for a few weeks are where price cuts and seller-paid closing costs happen.
If you are selling: Price to the sold numbers, not the asking prices around you. Buyers and their agents compare your home to what actually closed in the last 90 days, and a home priced right in the first two weeks gets the most attention.
