What’s Happening in Flagstaff Real Estate? September 2025 Report Shows a Shift to a Buyer’s Market

The Flagstaff housing market is entering a new phase this fall — one marked by balance tilting toward buyers. Recent data shows that homes are taking longer to sell, signaling a slight cooling in demand even as overall prices remain steady. The median list and sold prices continue to reflect strong property values, but the increase in days on market hints that buyers are becoming more selective and strategic. This change underscores the natural rhythm of real estate: influenced by shifting interest rates, economic trends, and seasonal slowdowns. As the market adjusts, understanding the relationship between list prices, sale prices, and time on market becomes essential for both buyers looking for leverage and sellers aiming to price competitively.

Related local insight: September in Flagstaff often brings renewed housing interest as Northern Arizona University students settle in and seasonal visitors explore the city’s fall festivals — a reminder that timing and market activity here are as cyclical as the mountain seasons themselves.

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES

Existing-home sales rose 1.5% in September 2025. Month-over-month sales increased in the Northeast, South, and West, and fell in the Midwest. Year-over-year, sales rose in the Northeast, Midwest, and South, and remained flat in the West. In September 2025, 127 homes were sold in Flagstaff, marking a healthy rebound from the 89 homes sold in September 2024, a year-over-year increase of roughly 43%. This rise in closed transactions suggests renewed buyer activity after a quieter 2024, despite broader market indicators pointing to a more balanced—or even buyer-leaning—environment.

When we zoom out, the 2025 sales volume remains below the peak activity seen during the pandemic-driven boom of 2020 and 2021 but aligns more closely with the stable, pre-pandemic years between 2018 and 2019. This consistency signals a market that’s finding its footing again: demand has softened from its highs, yet underlying buyer interest remains steady, particularly among those motivated by long-term opportunities and lifestyle appeal.

Overall, the data reflects a more normalized and sustainable market, where realistic pricing, property condition, and strategic marketing play greater roles in driving sales. Interest rates and affordability continue to influence buyer behavior, but Flagstaff’s desirable mountain setting and enduring demand for lifestyle properties help maintain resilience amid changing conditions. 

🏡 Buyer Tip:
Take advantage of slower market pace — you can negotiate better terms, request repairs, or explore homes that might have lingered unsold. Be ready with pre-approval to move quickly on the right deal.

🏡 Seller Tip:
Focus on presentation and pricing. Homes that stand out with strong visuals, updated features, and realistic pricing are still moving well. Work closely with your agent to align on a data-driven pricing strategy and compelling marketing plan.

FLAGSTAFF HOME SALES BY TYPE

• 🏡 Single Family Homes: Sales surged this September, showing strong buyer demand for standalone properties in Flagstaff’s neighborhoods. This increase highlights continued interest in homes offering privacy, yard space, and mountain views — ideal for both full-time residents and second-home buyers.

• 🏘️ Townhomes: Sales posted modest growth, reflecting a steady market. Townhomes remain an attractive choice for buyers seeking low-maintenance living near key Flagstaff amenities and outdoor recreation.

• 🏢 Condos: Condo sales jumped significantly, showing renewed interest from investors and first-time buyers. This spike suggests that affordability and convenience are drawing more attention to smaller, lock-and-leave-style properties.

• 🏠 Other Property Types: Sales in this category held steady, showing consistent demand for unique or rural properties such as cabins, manufactured homes, or mixed-use dwellings.

Flagstaff’s September 2025 housing data reveals broad growth across most property types, particularly in single-family homes and condos. The overall trend suggests a resilient and diverse market, where buyers are exploring a wider range of housing options to balance affordability, lifestyle, and long-term value.

📰 NEWS: What’s New This Month in Flagstaff?

As the numbers show a rise in sales across most property types this September 2025, local developments and community activity are helping shape Flagstaff’s real estate rhythm.

The City of Flagstaff continues to push forward on housing and infrastructure projects, including new mixed-use residential developments and a proposed technology-park expansion near the airport. These initiatives aim to address housing shortages and attract new industries—factors that could influence both long-term demand and home values.

Meanwhile, fall festival season is in full swing, drawing crowds and energy into the market. Signature events like the Pickin’ in the Pines Bluegrass Music Festival and the Flagstaff Festival of Science highlight the city’s lifestyle appeal, boosting short-term rental activity and reminding second-home buyers why Flagstaff remains a sought-after mountain retreat.

On the policy side, local committees such as the Flagstaff Housing Authority and Water Commission are meeting this month to discuss zoning and infrastructure updates that may shape future development patterns.

Together, these factors paint a picture of a market that’s cooling from its pandemic-era highs yet evolving through thoughtful growth and strong community engagement—setting the stage for a more balanced and sustainable housing environment as we move toward year-end.

WHAT'S DRIVING THE MARKET?

"As anticipated, falling mortgage rates are lifting home sales. Improving housing affordability is also contributing to the increase in sales," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.
