Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Desert Hills has tightened in this rolling three-month view, with active listings down about 14 percent from a year ago to 40 homes and months of supply dropping sharply compared with last year to 2.8 months. At the same time, contract activity has picked up, as homes sold are up more than 25 percent year over year and pending sales have risen over 70 percent.
Pricing is adjusting under this stronger contract flow, with the typical home value down about 13 percent from a year ago even as the median list price is slightly higher than last year. Sellers are also seeing less of a premium, with the average sale-to-list ratio under 100 percent and no recent sales closing above list price.
Homes are taking longer to move, with the median days on market up to 103 days in this period and higher than a year ago, even though roughly 36 percent of listings still go off the market within two weeks. With fewer homes available, more deals in the pipeline, and prices shifting, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands Desert Hills’ current dynamics.

Desert Hills offers residents a peaceful, sunlit community with expansive desert views, well-kept neighborhoods, inviting parks, and convenient access to shopping, schools, and outdoor recreation.

Located north of Phoenix, the community offers rural residential lots, horse properties, and newer custom homes, along with views of nearby mountain ranges.
Daily life centers on convenient connections. Shopping and services in Anthem and New River are a short drive away, while I‑17 links residents to Phoenix for downtown jobs, sports, and culture.

“My husband was here in az, while I stayed back to get our house ready to sell in the other state. He was unfortunately dealing with an incompetent realtor at the time. I decided because we had not made any contracts with this person, that I would reach out to Lisa. With in a day or so she found my dream home and worked with my mortgage company to make this deal happen and never put pressure on me knowing I was by myself fixing and selling our home in another state. She noticed the roof on the house needed to be fixed after a disclosure from the seller and negotiated the new roof. She also looked into the solar and found out the solar was paid for, come to found out the seller and their realtor didn't even know. It was all the little things she was concerned about for us as her buyers that made us feel at ease. And she continues to support us with the house two weeks later making sure the solar was done right and even purchased batteries for the water system we have. Love her!!!”

It was a pleasure to work with her.”

“Bryan has been our realtor for the sale and purchase of our last 3 homes and he is the best to work with. He's always super pleasant and is very responsive. There was a miscommunication only the one time we have worked with him and we believe it's because of our different phone providers, anyway he said the only reason he wouldn't answer my msg is "because he's dead" lol and he's not so you should use him as your realtor too! Thanks Bryan and Taylor your the best!”

“Rachel is an incredible person and realtor. She priced our home at the top of the market, which any realtor can do, but then Rachel developed a marketing strategy that afforded us a full price offer within 4 days. Rachel made the entire process was as simple as it could possibly be. Every issue and detail was handled quickly with professional expertise.
