MARKET SHIFT: SELLING STRATEGY MATTERS MORE THAN EVER ๐Ÿ 

A discussion point from our investors call noted that traditional MLS listings are seeing failure-to-sell rates as high as 45% in some areas. This highlights a broader question for homeowners: Is the traditional listing path the best fit for every property and every seller?

In the Phoenix East Valley and Scottsdale, results vary by:
โ€ข Neighborhood and property type
โ€ข Condition, preparation, and presentation
โ€ข Pricing and competing inventory
โ€ข Buyer demand and showing velocity
โ€ข Your timeline, certainty needs, and financial goals

A traditional listing may provide maximum market exposure and the potential for competitive offers: but it can require preparation, showings, negotiations, and an uncertain timeline. Our data is showing us that sellers chooses the path of certainty through a cash offer ~13% of the time.

Cash and convenience offers provide a simpler process and greater certainty, but they are options to compare in every home sale. For the reasons listed above, they a re not guarantees and are not automatic replacements for a traditional listing. One of our most recent sellerโ€™s experienced a cash offer falling through, but because so many investors are available in our network, they where back under contract the following day and closed successfully in just a couple of weeks. Certainty still won the day.

The right comparison to a traditional sale should include expected net proceeds, fees, repairs, contingencies, speed, convenience, and the tradeoff between certainty and maximum exposure. Before choosing a path, letโ€™s evaluate the strategy against your property and priorities. Contact The Husband & Wife Home Team for a clear, low-pressure comparison of your selling options; and up to 13 cash offers in less than an hour! We call it Highest Price for a reason. We gather numerous cash offers so you can choose the best solution.

There are currently 8 Gilbert homes listed in the MLS as assumable: including 5508 S Luiseno Blvd, listed at $674,000 with an assumable ๐Ÿ.๐Ÿ—% ๐ฅ๐จ๐š๐ง ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž. The reported payment is $2,618!

The important drawback is the equity gap. The buyer generally needs to cover the difference between the purchase price and the assumable loan balance. That can make these opportunities especially relevant for move-up buyers bringing equity from a sale, or buyers with sufficient capital or approved secondary financing.

Assumption is not automatic. Loan type, servicer approval, buyer eligibility, remaining loan balance, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and financing terms all need to be confirmed, so youโ€™ll need a competent resource for reviewing the numbers.

Have equity or capital available? We can help you explore the current Gilbert assumable inventory and determine whether the strategy fits your situation: without guessing. Comment โ€œASSUMABLEโ€ to start your discussion.

The latest ARMLS STAT report is telling us this: Phoenix-area activity is improving, but buyers and sellers remain highly price-sensitive. ๐Ÿ 

FACTS โ†’
The August 2026 report covering July activity shows:
โ€ข Single-family sales increased 3% year over year.
โ€ข Contract activity improved; inventory remained below year-ago levels.
โ€ข Price declines are slowing.
โ€ข 75% closed below original list price; 14% closed at list.
โ€ข 12% closed above list, with a $448,990 median close.
โ€ข About 40% of above-list sales were below $400,000.

Rates remain in the mid-to-high 6% range, keeping payments elevated. Mortgage News Dailyโ€™s latest available 30-year fixed index was approximately 6.77% on August 21, 2026.

CURRENT STATE โ†’
This is not simply a buyersโ€™ or sellersโ€™ market. It is selective. Buyers are evaluating value, condition, payment, and terms. Sellers can still succeed, but yesterdayโ€™s pricing expectations may create extra market time and lead to a later reduction. Accurately positioned homes can still attract competition, especially in attainable price ranges.

THE OPPORTUNITY โ†’
๐Ÿ‘‰ Buyers: More negotiation room may exist, particularly below $400,000. Know your payment, compare options, and be ready when the right home appears.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Sellers: A Competitive Pricing Model, strong presentation, and monitoring showing velocity and feedback matter more than testing the highest possible price.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Homeowners: Use current data to make a plan: not a prediction. We can help review options and connect you with Summer Silva for personalized lending scenarios. She's excellent!

This is a market for intentional strategy, not broad assumptions.

At 3009 N Salida Del Sol in Chandler, these sellers prioritized certainty and convenience over pursuing an absolute top-dollar sale: and that was the right strategy for their situation.

The strong appreciation we experienced several years ago has left many potential listing clients open to a cash-offer sale. Based on our client observations, that may be around 13% of prospective sellers: not a universal statistic, but an important conversation to have.

Thatโ€™s why we believe every client should be shown the option. Through our platform, Highest Price, we can access a cash-offer platform that aggregates offers in one place, allowing sellers to choose the best fit for their goals and timeline.

Potential benefits include:
โœ… Zero listing preparation
โœ… No showings
โœ… A fast, two-week close

Offer terms, seller eligibility, and timing vary: but you never know when this approach may be the perfect fit. These sellers were very happy with the flexible terms and final price for their home.

The latest ARMLS STAT report, covering July 2026 activity, reinforces an important listing lesson:

โ€ข 75% of homes sold below the original list price
โ€ข 14% sold at list price
โ€ข 12% sold above list price

The takeaway is not that every home needs an immediate price reduction. Itโ€™s that listing strategy must be tied to buyer response.

Our valued process is to monitor showing velocity, online activity, feedback, competing inventory, and Buyer Activity by price bands: then communicate those findings to our listing clients proactively.

๐Ÿ‘‰ If the activity is strong, we protect momentum.
๐Ÿ‘‰ If interest is softer than expected, we identify the issue early.
๐Ÿ‘‰ If a change is needed, we adjust intentionally: not reactively.

In a price-sensitive market, waiting for the market to โ€œfixโ€ an overpriced listing can cost valuable time and leverage. Clear data and consistent communication give sellers the understanding they need to make confident decisions.

Want clarity on how your neighborhood is performing? Weโ€™re always happy to consult with you.

๐‘๐€๐“๐„ ๐„๐€๐’๐„๐ƒ: BUT THE STRATEGY IS IN THE TREND, NOT ONE DAYโ€™S NUMBER.

๐Ÿ“Š Facts:
Mortgage News Dailyโ€™s composite shows the 30-year fixed rate at approximately 6.71% to end last week. Easing to their lowest level in about four weeks after moving through the mid-6% range.

๐Ÿ“ This is a strategic tracking tool: not a mortgage quote. Your actual rate depends on credit, down payment, loan type, points, property, and other factors.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Where the opportunity is:
โ€ข BอŸuอŸyอŸeอŸrอŸsอŸ: A rate shift can affect monthly payment and purchasing power. Run the numbers before ruling out a home.
โ€ข SอŸeอŸlอŸlอŸeอŸrอŸsอŸ: Buyer affordability is still a major factor. Pricing and presentation should reflect todayโ€™s payment-sensitive market.
โ€ข HอŸoอŸmอŸeอŸoอŸwอŸnอŸeอŸrอŸsอŸ: If you financed at a higher rate, a refinance review may be worth exploring after comparing total costs and break-even timing.

The takeaway? Donโ€™t rush: but stay informed and prepared to buy, list, or refinance when the numbers make sense for you personally.

For personalized rate scenarios, we will connect you with our preferred mortgage lender, Summer Silva.
