Summer is one of the busiest times in the Arizona housing market, especially in East Valley cities like Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, and Chandler. Whether you’re buying or selling, here’s what you need to know to stay ahead of the competition.
Tips for Buyers:
- Be Ready to Act Fast – Inventory moves quickly in summer, so get pre-approved and be prepared to tour homes as soon as they hit the market.
- Beat the Heat – Schedule showings early in the day to avoid peak temperatures.
- Expect Competition – Summer brings more buyers into the market, especially families trying to move before the new school year.
Tips for Sellers:
- Maximize Curb Appeal – Clean landscaping and green grass make a great first impression, even in triple-digit heat.
- Keep it Cool – A strong, working A/C system is non-negotiable. Make sure it’s running smoothly during showings.
- Promote Energy Efficiency – Highlight features like ceiling fans, solar panels, sunscreens, and energy-efficient windows.
Whether you’re buying your next home or selling your current one, working with a local expert gives you the edge in a competitive summer market. Let’s build your strategy together!
