October 2025 Flagstaff Market Report: What Buyers and Sellers Should Know Right Now
Hello, Flagstaff! As we step into November, let’s take a look at how the local real estate market performed in October 2025. Whether you're drawn to the views of Humphreys Peak or the energy of downtown, Flagstaff’s market continues to shift for buyers and sellers alike. Here’s what last month’s numbers tell us about current trends, and how to navigate them if you're planning to buy or sell.
Understanding the Market Dynamics
Flagstaff is a hub of natural beauty and cultural richness, home to landmarks like the Lowell Observatory and the Museum of Northern Arizona. The local economy benefits from the presence of Northern Arizona University and significant employers in the healthcare and tourism sectors. But how does all this activity translate into the real estate market?
Inventory & Supply Insights
Currently, Flagstaff's market is experiencing a 7.05-month supply of inventory. This is significant for buyers and sellers, as it indicates a balanced market, where neither side holds overwhelming power. However, inventory has seen a one-month decrease of 9%, while the twelve-month change marks an 88% increase. This fluctuation means that timing is critical. For sellers, listing your property now could capture buyers who are eager before inventory potentially expands further. For buyers, it’s an opportunity to explore diverse options that have recently become available.
New and Active Listings
Data shows 84 new listings with a median list price of $806,601, while active listings stand at 343 with a median price of $850,000. For sellers, pricing your home competitively is essential to attract those ready buyers. Buyers, on the other hand, should keep a close eye on these listings to identify their ideal home promptly.
Pending and Sold Listings
In terms of pending sales, there are 42 listings with a median price matching active listings at $850,000, and these remain on the market for a median of 43 days. Meanwhile, sold listings have a median price of $875,200, reflecting a 10% month-over-month increase. The median days on market for sold properties is 66, with a slight decrease in the sold-to-list price ratio to 97.16%. For sellers, this data suggests that while homes are selling at slightly lower prices than listed, the market remains strong. Buyers should be prepared for competitive bidding, especially for well-priced homes.
Market Timing Coordination
For those buying and selling simultaneously, coordinating these transactions can be challenging but rewarding. The key lies in understanding the median days on market and the current supply. With median days for sold listings at 66, planning your purchase and sale with this timeline in mind can help you transition smoothly without the stress of overlapping obligations.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, the Flagstaff market's blend of inventory changes and pricing trends suggests potential opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Whether you're captivated by the serene trails of the Coconino National Forest or the bustling energy of Flagstaff's downtown, there is a path forward in this vibrant market.
