Greater Phoenix closed Q4 2025 with fundamentals under measured pressure as new supply continued to outpace absorption. Occupancy edged down to 93.3%, sitting about 140 basis points below the 10-year average, while effective rents fell 2.3% year-over-year to $1,581 per unit. With the exception of North Scottsdale, every submarket posted negative annual rent growth. On the capital markets side, investor conviction held firm: Q4 sales volume reached $807 million, up 45% year-over-year, and full-year volume rose 14.5% to $4.04 billion. The construction pipeline continued to contract, with units under construction falling to 25,208 from 37,332 a year prior, pointing toward improving supply-demand balance as the delivery cycle winds down.
