Hello, Flagstaff Lovers!
The days are long, the air is cool, and our mountain town is buzzing with the energy of summer. From hiking the scenic trails of the San Francisco Peaks to enjoying a concert in Heritage Square, this is the time of year that truly defines the Flagstaff lifestyle. For many of us, this season also brings about a new perspective on our future, prompting questions about our next move.
As an Associate Broker at Coldwell Banker Northland, I’m often asked what’s happening in our local real estate market this time of year. While the summer months historically see a lot of activity, the market in July 2025 has settled into a rhythm that offers unique advantages for both buyers and sellers. Here’s a closer look at what we’re seeing.
A Balanced Market Emerges
After years of intense competition and low inventory, the Flagstaff real estate market is now in a more balanced state. According to recent data, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in homes for sale, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in a long time. The median time a home spends on the market has also increased, which is a healthy sign of a stabilizing market. This shift creates a welcome environment where transactions are less frantic and more deliberate.
For Buyers: Your Opportunity Has Arrived. The “balanced” market is your chance to step back, take a deep breath, and find the right home for you without the pressure of a multiple-offer frenzy. With more inventory available, you have the time to explore different neighborhoods, from the serene Ponderosa Trails to the vibrant urban core. The key now is strategic patience. Work with a knowledgeable local agent to identify homes that align with your lifestyle, and be prepared to negotiate. My background in negotiation allows me to help you secure a home at the best possible terms.
For Sellers: A Realistic Approach is Key. While the days of guaranteed bidding wars may have cooled, this is still an excellent time to sell. The demand for Flagstaff’s unique quality of life remains strong. The crucial factor now is realistic pricing. Gone are the days when you could overprice a home and expect it to sell in a weekend. My advice? Price your home intelligently, based on current market data, and focus on highlighting what makes your property special. Features like energy efficiency, a private backyard, or stunning mountain views are more important than ever.
