Scottsdale / Papago Area Comparables

Recent sales, price trends, DOM patterns, and negotiation-index data — the same intel licensed agents use to advise their clients.

How the Haus Signal Works

The Haus Signal is a three-layer read of the market — current temperature (NOW), recent trend (DIRECTION), and a 60–90 day forecast (FORECAST) — scored against each ZIP's own historical distribution. Every input is derived directly from ARMLS closed and active transaction records. No estimates. No third-party projections.

Layers · NOW · DIRECTION · FORECAST

Current temperature uses months of supply, DOM, sale-to-list ratio, and price reductions. Direction tracks the 30-day delta as snapshots accumulate. Forecast reads leading indicators — pending volume, inventory change, $/sqft momentum — for the next 60–90 days.

0–100

Per-ZIP Relative Score

Each indicator is scored against this ZIP's own 12-quarter distribution, not against a Phoenix-wide breakpoint table. 50 = typical for this ZIP, 0 = at the floor of its own 3-year range, 100 = at the ceiling. So "Cool for 85253" means PV-relative cool, not metro-relative.

24h

Refresh Cycle

Inputs recalculate daily as new closed sales, pending contracts, and listing changes flow through ARMLS. The per-ZIP HPI series refreshes weekly via Bailey-Muth-Nourse repeat-sales regression.

ZIP

Level Precision

Metro figures hide the story. Paradise Valley and Maryvale aren't the same market — their typical DOM, sale-to-list spread, and supply rhythm are structurally different. The Haus Signal honors that.

This is the data your agent uses. Now you have it too.
