What homes are actually asking up here, how long they're sitting, and how many sellers are cutting price — for Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor and Heber-Overgaard. Refreshed every month, with my read on what it means if you're the one buying or selling.
Data through August 2026 · Navajo County, Arizona
These are county-wide figures for Navajo County, which covers Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor and Heber-Overgaard. County numbers are the most stable view of the market — individual town data gets noisy fast in an area this rural, which is why the town-by-town table further down carries a caution on some of its rows.
Buyers have more leverage than they've had in a while, and it isn't close. There are 885 homes for sale up here — 17.4% more than this time last year — and the typical one is sitting for 85 days before it goes under contract. A quarter of everything listed has already taken a price cut.
If you're buying, that's the whole ballgame. More inventory means you can actually be choosy, and a seller 85 days into a listing is a very different negotiating partner than one who just hit the market. Ask for the repairs. Ask for the closing costs.
But here's the part most market updates miss, and it's the reason I don't think this is a market in trouble: pending sales are up 27.9% from last August. More homes are going under contract than a year ago. Demand didn't leave — it got pickier. Inventory is climbing because homes are taking longer to clear, not because buyers vanished.
If you're selling, that's the thing to plan around. Buyers are taking their time, so the first two weeks decide everything. Homes priced right when they hit the market are still moving. Homes priced on last year's comps are the ones adding to that 85-day median and eventually cutting anyway — just from a weaker position and after two months of carrying costs.
On prices: the county median asking price is $480,000, down 6.8% year over year, and median price per square foot was down 2.3%. I'd read that as a genuine softening but not a collapse — and I'd be careful about applying it to your house. A median moves when the mix of what's listed changes, not just when values change. Three months of cabin listings and the number moves without a single home being worth less. That's why the county figure is a temperature, not an appraisal.
Asking prices and inventory by ZIP code, same month. Read these as directional — the smaller towns list so few homes in a given month that one unusual property moves the median several percent on its own.

† Realtor.com flagged Show Low, Lakeside, Taylor and Overgaard this month as falling outside the typical range, meaning these figures should be treated with extra caution. I'm showing them rather than hiding them, but I wouldn't hang a pricing decision on a flagged row — call me and we'll look at the actual comparable sales for your street.
Everything above is listing-side data: what sellers are asking, how much is for sale, and how long it takes to go under contract. It is not closed sales. Nobody publishes free, current closed-sale data at the town level in a market this size.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. Asking prices tell you about seller expectations. Sale prices tell you what buyers actually paid — usually a different number, and the gap between them is the negotiating room. I have the closed-sale side through the MLS. If you want to know what homes like yours actually sold for, that's a conversation, not a webpage — just ask me and I'll pull the real comps for your street.
And if you're weighing a move, the financing side moves independently of all this. I'm a broker, not a bank, so I shop 100+ wholesale lenders rather than selling one company's shelf — which matters most in exactly this kind of market, where the right program can do more for your monthly payment than another $10,000 off the price. Here's how that actually works.
On the numbers, it currently favors buyers. Navajo County had 885 active listings in August 2026, up 17.4% from a year earlier, and the typical home sat 85 days before going under contract — about seven days longer than last August. Roughly one in four listings had taken a price reduction. That combination — more choices, longer timelines, more sellers willing to move on price — is what a buyer-friendly market looks like. The counterweight is that pending sales were up 27.9% year over year, so buyers are actively transacting, not sitting out.
Asking prices have softened. The median list price across Navajo County was $480,000 in August 2026, down 6.8% from a year earlier, and median price per square foot was down 2.3%. Two important cautions: these are list prices, not closed sale prices, so they measure what sellers are asking rather than what buyers actually paid. And a shift in which homes happen to be listed in a given month moves the median on its own, separate from any change in what an individual home is worth. A softer county median does not mean your specific home lost that much value.
The median home in Navajo County spent 85 days on market in August 2026, up from 78 days a year earlier. Timelines vary a lot by town — Taylor and Snowflake were moving fastest at 57 and 69 days, while Heber ran closer to 95. Pricing is the biggest lever a seller controls: with about one in four listings taking a price cut, homes that come out priced correctly in the first two weeks tend to avoid the long sit entirely.
The figures come from Realtor.com Economic Research, which publishes county-level and ZIP-level residential inventory metrics every month. This page refreshes automatically when each new month is released, typically in the first week. It reflects active listing activity — what is for sale, what it is asking, and how long it takes — rather than closed sales. Closed sale prices come from the MLS and are not part of this public dataset.
