Fountain Hills housing market: what the numbers say right now

In October 2026, 163 single-family homes were listed for sale in Fountain Hills, down from 173 a year earlier, and 28 homes closed each month. The Cromford Report's months of supply figure, which measures how long the current homes for sale would last at that pace if nothing new came on the market, stood at 5.5 in October 2026.

I'm Jen Keene, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty Luxury in Scottsdale, AZ, and I'm the agent people call at every stage of their life. These are the Cromford Report's numbers for Fountain Hills, and I checked them on October 4, 2026, because a number from last spring, or one pulled from a different town, won't tell you what's happening in this market right now.

In October 2026, homes that closed sold in a median of 63 days from listing to close, and the median home went under contract for the first time within 25 days of being listed. Closed sales went for a median of 97.24 percent of list price, and 25 homes were under contract in October 2026.

Months of supply is the number I'd start with. In October 2026 it stood at 5.5 for Fountain Hills, and it only measures how long the current homes for sale would last at the current pace of sales. It doesn't say whether a specific house is priced right, and it doesn't predict what happens to any one offer.

The 97.24 percent sale-to-list figure for October 2026 is the median gap between what a home asked and what it closed for, across every home that sold that month in Fountain Hills. A home built in the 1970s on a hillside lot and a newer home inside one of the golf communities are both counted in that same median.

Days to first contract and median days on market are measuring two different things. In October 2026, the median home in Fountain Hills went under contract for the first time within 25 days of listing. Homes that had already closed sold in a median of 63 days from listing to close. In October 2026, homes still active and waiting had been listed a median of 64 days so far.

In October 2026, the Cromford Report's listing success rate for Fountain Hills was 70 percent, meaning that share of listings made it all the way to closing instead of expiring or being pulled off the market.

On price, Fountain Hills has two different figures that measure different periods. In October 2026, the median sale price over the trailing 12 months was $875,000, and the median for homes that closed that month alone was $754,500. The average sale price over the same 12 months was $1,142,077, the kind of gap you see when a smaller number of higher-priced sales pull the average above the median. The same gap shows up in price per square foot. In October 2026, active listings were priced at a median of $407.39 a square foot, and homes that closed over the trailing 12 months went for a median of $358.05 a square foot. Over that same 12 months, the median sale price held flat compared to a year earlier, while price per square foot was down 3.2 percent.

The town-wide median isn't what one specific house is worth. Fountain Hills has more than fifty years of building in one town: 1970s and 1980s homes on hillside lots, a large middle of 1990s and 2000s construction, and newer custom and semi-custom work inside FireRock, Eagle Mountain, SunRidge Canyon and Adero Canyon, which each carry their own dues and rules. Much of the town outside those four communities has no association at all, so check it address by address. One town-wide median can't separate any of that.

Another mistake is mixing up the average and the median. The average sale price over the 12 months ending October 2026, $1,142,077, is pulled upward by a smaller number of higher-priced sales. The median for that same period, $875,000, is the middle of the list and a better fit for a typical home. Reading the average as the normal price overstates what most houses in Fountain Hills sold for.

A third mistake is using a number that's gone stale. This report is for October 2026. A months-of-supply or sale-to-list figure from six months ago is describing a market that's already moved on.

If you're watching a specific listing, these are the marks to compare it against. In October 2026, homes still active in Fountain Hills had been on the market a median of 64 days so far, and the median home had gone under contract for the first time within 25 days of listing. A listing that's sitting well past those marks is in a different spot than one still in its first couple of weeks, and I can tell you exactly where a specific address stands once I have it.

If you're selling, the 97.24 percent sale-to-list figure for October 2026 is a median for the whole town. Where your home lands against that figure comes down to the price you choose on day one, built from what's closed near you rather than from the town-wide number. I bring three prices to a listing appointment and let you choose, so the number starts with your home.

If you're buying and selling in Fountain Hills at the same time, which part of town you're moving from and which part you're moving to both change what these numbers mean for you. We work that out before either side starts.
