]]>The post NAR on the Topic of Condominiums appeared first on ARMLS.
]]>In alignment with NAR, blog publications from ARMLS explain, “A condominium is not a type of property you dwell in, but rather the type of ownership you have of that property.” Remember, condo is a generic description of a property type that could mean several different things.
NAR explains that when a person buys a condominium, they will own the individual unit while sharing ownership of common areas with other residents. “Condos are operated by homeowners’ associations (HOAs) that maintain these shared spaces, enforce community rules, and collect monthly condo fees to cover maintenance, operations, and building amenities.”
If you are still unsure, check the tax records in CurbView, talk to your broker, read the Condo Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and consult with the lender, if possible. Additionally, NAR recommends being up-to-date with condominium underwriting guidelines that lenders must follow.
According to NAR, the potential buyer should exercise due diligence. Some tips are:

]]>COMMENTARY by Paridhi Saboo
July single-family home sales improved 3% from last year, but the list-price outcome data shows why agents should be careful calling this a seller recovery. The market has more activity, yet most closings are still happening below the seller’s original expectation.
Mortgage rates remain in the high 6% range, which keeps monthly payments elevated and limits how far buyers can stretch. At the same time, ARMLS has been reporting improving contract activity, lower year-over-year inventory and a slower pace of price declines. That combination creates a market that is better than last year, but still sensitive to price.
The 2021 comparison shows how different today’s conditions are. In July 2021, 63% of single-family homes sold over original list price because the market had the opposite conditions: very low rates, extremely limited inventory and buyers competing aggressively.
July 2026 list-to-sold price:
● 75% sold below original list price, almost unchanged from 76% in 2025.
● 12% sold above original list price, with a median close price of $448,990.
● About 40% of above-list sales were under $400,000, showing competition is still most visible in attainable price ranges.
● Above-list closings were most concentrated in Phoenix, followed by San Tan Valley, Surprise and Mesa.
● 14% sold at list, showing that accurate pricing can still hold when the property matches buyer expectations.
Takeaway: For listing agents, this is a strong pricing conversation starter. Seller motivation and pricing accuracy matter more than optimism. A listing that starts too high is likely to need a reduction before buyers respond. For buyer agents, the below list trend creates room to negotiate, but the under $400K segment may still require speed, clean terms and realistic expectations.

]]>COMMENTARY by Paridhi Saboo
June sales volume in the MLS finished about 8% higher than a year ago. However, June 2026 had 21 business days compared to 20 in June 2025, meaning roughly 5% of that gain came from the extra business day. After accounting for the calendar, sales activity still posted a modest year-over-year increase.
Supply continued to tighten in June, with active inventory down 5% from last year. Asking prices also recorded their 26th consecutive month of year-over-year declines. While prices continue to trend lower than a year ago, the pace of those declines has been moderating. During the second half of 2024 and most of 2025, median asking prices were generally down in the high 3% to 4% range. More recently, annual declines have narrowed closer to 2% to 3%. Combined with lower inventory and stronger contract activity, this suggests the downward pressure on prices is beginning to ease, even though prices have not yet turned positive.
Buyer demand continues to strengthen. Under-contract listings have increased year over year for 12 consecutive months, while escrow fallout improved to 7%, down from 8% last year. More buyers are writing offers, and a higher share of those contracts are making it to the closing table.
Trustees’ deeds also continued to increase. Residential foreclosures in Maricopa County rose from 83 to 134 compared to last June, making this the highest June total in the past seven years. Most of these properties trace back to loans that first became distressed in 2021 and 2022. Even so, foreclosure activity remains well below historical levels and appears to reflect the resolution of older distressed loans rather than a wave of new financial distress.
Takeaway: The first half of the year showed a market that is slowly correcting its imbalance. Demand has strengthened enough to reduce inventory and slow the pace of price declines, but not enough to push prices higher. That leaves the market in a transition period rather than a recovery.

]]>To upload photos to the media section of a listing, first click on Photos. Then, click Browse to locate the photos on your computer. It’s important to note that the primary photo does not need to be of the front exterior, but the front exterior photo must be added within four days of the listing being active. After uploading the photos, you can name them and reorder them by dragging them or changing the number in the left corner.
If you have altered photos, here are the steps to add the digitally altered disclosure.
A photo is considered digitally altered when software or AI is used to add, remove or significantly change image content. Standard photo adjustments for clarity are permitted, provided they do not misrepresent the property.
Once your photos have been added to the listing’s media section, any photo that has been altered requires a disclosure. Subscribers and photographers must upload the original, unaltered photo directly before or after the watermarked, altered version.
To add the digitally altered disclosure to your photos in Flexmls, begin by clicking the Sunburst icon.
Changes are automatically saved. The Digitally Altered watermark will be added and is visible in the live listing in Flexmls.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After adding the watermark, it cannot be removed.

May brought a modest improvement in sales activity, with overall closed sales up about 4% year over year despite having one fewer business day than May 2025. Even so, sales volume remains roughly 14% below what is typically seen for this time of year, indicating a market that is improving but still operating below historical norms.
Active inventory declined about 5% from a year ago, the second month in a row to post a year-over-year decline. Despite the decrease in supply, sellers continued to make meaningful price adjustments to attract buyers. In May, 75% of homes that closed did so after a median price reduction of $25,000 from their original list price, compared with a typical May reduction of about $16,000 over the past 11 years.
Price reductions by property type:
Moreover, new home sales in Maricopa County declined 14% compared to last year, extending the streak of year-over-year declines to 16 months. The $500,000-$700,000 price range experienced the largest drop, down 23%. Meanwhile, the median price gap between new construction and resale homes narrowed to just 7%, well below the historical May average of roughly 30%. This creates opportunities for buyers but also increases competitive pressure on nearby resale sellers.
Key Takeaway: Buyers are responding to value, not scarcity. Homes that are priced competitively are selling, while builders and resale sellers alike are increasingly competing for the same pool of demand.

The biggest takeaway from April’s data is that closed sales finally showed real traction. ARMLS recorded its highest April closing count in the last four years, with sales up about 4% compared to April 2025. There were the same number of business days in both months, so the year-over-year increase reflects a true pickup in closings rather than extra time on the calendar.
The escrow fallout rate also improved from about 6% last April to around 5% this year, getting closer to the typical level of about 4% for this time of year.
On the supply side, inventory is no longer building the way it was in prior years. Active inventory declined almost 3% year over year, marking the first April decline after four straight years of increases. At the same time, the median active list price fell 3%, indicating more price reductions across the market as sellers work to align with current buyer demand.

]]>As a reminder, there are two types of DOM calculations:
One of the trickiest days to calculate is the date you can relist to reset DOM. The listing must be in an off-market status of either cancelled or expired for a full 45 days. The property can then be relisted as a new listing on or after the 46th day from the off-market date. Below are a few tools you can use to determine the relist date.
Go to the Add Days section. First, enter a start date (the listing’s off-market date). Then, in Add/Subtract, input 46 days (or more) in the Days section. Click Calculate New Date and your results will be displayed.
Windows Calculator
Click the Windows icon, then search for the calculator. Once the calculator is open, click the 3 bars on the top left to change the calculator type. Select Date Calculation, then select the Add or subtract days option and input your dates.
Mac Calculator
The built-in calculator on Mac does not have this function, but you can always install an app from the App Store. Search for Date Calendar Calculator. There are plenty of highly rated paid and free apps to choose from.

| Closing Info (NOT sold price) | 430 | 435 |
| Original List Price | 221 | 199 |
A reduction of Incorrect Assessor’s Number was attributed to the increase in usage of the Populate Tax Data button. Continue to use the Populate Tax Data button, which reduces errors and saves you time with data entry.
Next, Text or Watermarks on Photos/Media errors in Flexmls reduced from 725 in 2024 to 462 in 2025! This was attributed to the improved resource page, as well as subscribers being proactive.
Regarding self-reported improvements, Selling Agent or Co-Selling Agent reductions decreased from 661 to 530. We attribute the reduction of these cases to the courtesy notices, which notify both listing and selling agents of an upcoming status change and allow them to edit the data in real time.
Construction Status is new to the list, as we saw 338 events of this non-penalty violation this year. Subscribers helped identify that resale listings were copied from the original new-construction listing, and we are working to find a solution to reduce these errors. In the meantime, Subscribers can reduce future errors by double-checking any fields when Copying a Listing to Flexmls, especially fields that may no longer apply.
Regarding opportunities for improvement for self-reported violations, photo removals increased from 425 to 544. In most cases, there is no need to request the removal of listing media. Flexmls allows you to mark Photos, Floor Plans, Videos, and Virtual Tours as Public, Private, or Private While Off-Market.
If media is marked Private, it will not be syndicated to public-facing sites. If your client has concerns about post-closing visibility, Private While Off-Market is the recommended “set it and forget it” option—media is visible in ARMLS and included in public displays while Active, and automatically becomes private once the listing goes Off-Market, eliminating concerns about media access after closing.
Final Thoughts
Subscriber feedback helps ARMLS identify errors. Continue to Suggest and Report a Violation. Please be sure to share this information with your admins and transaction coordinators, as they also input listings.
We appreciate all subscriber feedback and reportings, as they help to reduce data errors.

Desert Mistletoe
There are about 900 types of mistletoe species. The desert mistletoe, or mesquite mistletoe plant, is found in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts and is partially parasitic. The desert mistletoe plant is toxic, but the fruit is the only mistletoe fruit that is edible and palatable by humans. Many Native communities ate the fruits of mistletoes raw, but only the ones growing on mesquite, ironwood or catclaw acacia.
Desert mistletoe is a keeper! It provides cover for nesting birds. Supports caterpillars, butterflies, moths and other insects. Overall, it’s a needed resource to our Sonoran fauna at the end of the year, and it benefits many species.

By searching for listings with HOA Y/N, you will drastically reduce the number of available listings matching your clients’ exact criteria. For some clients, living in an HOA is a desired benefit. For others, it is a hard “NO.” While each client may have their individual preferences, there are benefits and disadvantages to both options.
Give it a try today!
Additionally, if you find you are adding HOA Y/N often, try setting it as a Default Search or saving a Quick Search Template. As a final note, for many homebuyers HOA fees can make or break a budget. You can search for listings that meet specific HOA fee criteria based on the combined monthly equivalent. To do this, add the Ttl Mthly Fee Equiv field to your search. Afterward, you can include a minimum and maximum dollar range for HOA fees, ensuring that your client’s budget is not exceeded.

The link within the email has changed from “Click here to view and respond via Aligned Showings” to “Click here to review all feedback on your dedicated Aligned Showings webpage”. This minimizes confusion about a seller/tenant’s ability to interact with and respond to feedback.
We’ve made several bug fixes and enhancements, including resolving a Broadcast Omit issue, enabling calendar exports with custom filters, ensuring accurate display of property square footage and more.

]]>
Non-MLS Stops Saved When Exiting
Saved non-MLS stops! When adding a non-MLS stop to a Route, it will be saved even if you exit your Route planning before showing requests are sent.
Rescheduling Notice for Listing Agents
Better transparency! If you are a Listing Agent rescheduling an appointment that is included in a Route, you will see a notice that the date cannot be changed for listings in a Route.
Showing Team Members Ability to Reschedule
Better collaboration! Team members included on the showing side now have the ability to reschedule appointments in the Messages area.
Transparency For Unavailability on Your Listings
Explained unavailability! Previously when scheduling an appointment on your own listing, “Unavailable” would be displayed for listing restrictions and existing showings. Now, it will more accurately display either “Unavailable” or “Existing Showing” accordingly.
Extend & Export
Better bookkeeping! The Calendar can now be extend up to 18 months rather than the previous six months. This can be useful for tax purposes or gathering information for reports.
Additionally, the Calendar can now be exported. Set your appointment filters and a custom date range, then click Export in the upper right to create a .CSV file that can be opened in Excel.
Omit Agent Error Message

]]>The post Searching for Manufactured Homes Without Land/Lease Fees appeared first on ARMLS.
]]>In Flexmls, when in a Quick Search, find the Dwelling Type field and select Mfg/Mobile Housing.
Next, you will need to add a field to the search area. Begin by typing “Fees” into the search box, then add Ttl Mthly Fee Equiv once it appears. Lastly, set 0 (zero) as the maximum value.
This will filter results to show mobile homes that are either not located in mobile home parks or have no associated land fees.
Alternatively, you can search for residential manufactured/mobile homes where the land is owned.
In Quick Search, select Residential as the property type and find the Dwelling Type field to select Mfg/Mobile Housing.
Next, add the Ownership field. Once added, select Leasehold and change “of” to “not of” by clicking the phrase.
This will specifically exclude any listings that have a leasehold.

]]>The post Why Must I Add a School District for a 55+ Community? appeared first on ARMLS.
]]>The answer is simple: school information is required for every residential listing in Flexmls, regardless of the community type. However, there are several options for what values to enter. Let’s explore this further.
If there is truly no school district in the surrounding community, you can input “Adult” in each School field and add “000 – Out of Area” for the School District fields.
When confirming information that should be entered in the Main Fields tab for the school fields, it is always best to auto-populate school district information. Take it a step further and cross-reference the data field with The Monsoon Tax System. This is an easy way to correctly enter school district information.
Lastly, when adding a listing, in the Details tab under Special Listing Conditions, don’t forget to check the box for Age Restricted (see Remarks).
For additional assistance when adding a listing, contact Support or watch the Online Course.

]]>The post Showing Types in Aligned Showings appeared first on ARMLS.
]]>
With a standard showing (commonly first-time viewings), the maximum appointment length can be set as low as 10 minutes to no maximum, depending on the listing agent’s settings.
If your client wishes to revisit a property, a Return Showing can be booked for as little as 10 minutes or up to three hours.
An Appraisal assesses the value of the property, and usually takes one to two hours to complete. If an appraiser requests an appointment, they can schedule appointments ranging from 10 minutes to 6 hours as necessary.
Home Inspections, performed by licensed professionals, evaluate the property’s condition and safety before a home purchase is finalized. These appointments can be set from 10 minutes to a maximum of 6 hours.
A Walk-Through is the last inspection of a home before closing, allowing the buyer to verify that the home is in the condition agreed upon, and that any promised repairs or updates have been completed. These can be scheduled from 10 minutes to 6 hours, based on the buyer’s or agent’s needs.
The Aligned Showing page has more resources, training materials and blogs for you to review.

]]>The post Exterior Stories & Interior Levels appeared first on ARMLS.
]]>The Exterior Stories field, under General Property Description, should include the stories of the entire building. Typically, the Exterior Stories start at the ground and are numbers upwards.
The Interior Levels field reflects the number of stories of the unit itself, excluding basements and other units. In the MLS, an interior level is defined as a discrete horizontal plane of interior living space for a dwelling. It can also be open to interpretation based on the agent entering the listing.
For the property below, there are six exterior stories of the entire building, while there are only two interior levels of the one unit itself.
Additionally, you may also want to review the blog series on Obscure Fields. When searching for properties that may have multiple stories, three must-reads are Part 2, Part 3 and Part 5. These three blogs highlight fields you can add to a search such as private elevators, identifying common walls and upstairs neighbors. Lastly, you may also be able to identify properties that come with temperature-controlled parking.

On the Quick Search page, find +Additional Search Options, and click to expand.
When selecting Floor Plans, you will need to enter a minimum number to search for listings that have floor plans added. Complement this searchable field with your other desired fields when finding listings for your clients.

Maximum accepted file sizes are also the same as maximum accepted photo sizes (15 MB or 3000 x 2000 pixels). PDFs are not currently an accepted file type for floor plans. MLS watermarks will also be applied to all uploaded floor plans.
As a reminder, ARMLS has partnered with CubiCasa, a revolutionary mobile floor plan app that generates detailed floor plans from a simple five-minute scan of a home. You can learn more about floor plans and CubiCasa by signing up for a class.
