Sellers ask me this a lot right now.

'How long will it take?'

Here's what the data shows for the West Valley this summer:

📋 Time to list-ready: 1 to 3 weeks (prep, photos, any touch-ups)
📋 Days on market: well-priced homes are going under contract in about 3 to 5 weeks, while the broader market is closer to 8 to 10.
📋 Under contract to close: 30 to 45 days in Arizona

From 'I want to sell' to the closing table, most West Valley sellers are looking at 8 to 12 weeks total.

The biggest variable? Pricing.

Homes priced right are moving. Homes priced above market are sitting and then adjusting.

💾 Save this for reference before you decide when to list.

In Arizona, a purchase contract has a lot of moving parts. Here are 7 things buyers often don’t realize they can negotiate.

1. 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 from the seller
2. 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, who pays and what it covers
3. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬 after your inspection findings
4. 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞, timing that works for both parties
5. 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞, which isn’t always the same day as closing
6. 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬: appliances, play sets, window treatments
7. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 found in inspection: HVAC servicing, fence repairs, specific items

Most buyers only focus on price. Your agent should be working the whole contract.

If you’re buying in the West Valley this summer and want to know what’s negotiable in your specific situation.
Comment “CONTRACT” and I’ll walk you through what to look for in your specific situation.
