• Closed Sales: 25 (down 7.4% from last June)

• Average Days on Market: 94
• Closed Sales: 12 (down 45.5%)

Cottonwood remains relatively steady in pricing but has seen a slowdown in buyer activity. Sellers should be strategic with pricing and open to negotiation. Buyers may find this to be a great time to secure a home with added concessions.

• Average Days on Market: 275
• Closed Sales: 4 (down 71.4%)

Cornville posted one of the highest increases in median price this month but experienced slower sales and extended market times. Buyers may have opportunities to negotiate in this area, while sellers should be cautious not to overprice.

Clarkdale

• Average Days on Market: 55
• Closed Sales: 4 (down 60%)

Clarkdale continues to move homes faster than any other town in the Valley, even with price drops. It’s clear that buyers are responding to value in this area. This could be a great location for first-time buyers or downsizers.

Rimrock

Rimrock remains one of the more affordable options in the region. While market movement is slower, homes are appreciating steadily, making it a good fit for budget-conscious buyers or long-term investors.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:
The market continues to offer pockets of opportunity. Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and Rimrock present affordable and negotiable options, while Camp Verde and Cornville may offer more space and lifestyle upgrades—especially for those willing to negotiate or take on light improvements. Sedona remains a strong luxury market, and serious buyers there should be ready to act quickly and competitively.

For Sellers:
Pricing, presentation, and timing are key. While some areas are seeing longer days on market, others are still moving quickly. With increased inventory in places like Sedona and Cottonwood, sellers should ensure their home stands out with strong marketing and strategic pricing. In slower markets like Cornville, realistic expectations and flexibility will be important to get the deal done.

Quick Stats at a Glance

Client Story: Two Young Buyers, Two Big Wins in Cottonwood

This past month, I had the absolute honor of helping two sets of buyers in their 20s become homeowners in Cottonwood—and let me tell you, these were standout moments.

Buying a home is a big step at any age, but to see clients in their early 20s pull this off in today’s market was incredibly inspiring. They came in focused, informed, and ready to advocate for themselves—and together, we made it happen.

• On one deal, we negotiated 3% in seller concessions, a brand-new roof, and even a new septic system after the inspection revealed issues.
• On the second home, we negotiated 6% in seller concessions, which covered their closing costs and helped buy down their interest rate keeping their monthly payment where they wanted it. 

These weren’t turnkey situations or “easy” wins. They were smart, intentional purchases—made possible through persistence, preparation, and some serious teamwork.

What I love about these stories is that they break the myth that young people can’t buy homes right now. These clients proved that with the right strategy and guidance, it’s absolutely doable—even in your 20s.

If they can do it, so can you. You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need someone in your corner who knows how to navigate the bumps, negotiate smartly, and help you build something real for your future.
