A striking trend is emerging in Phoenix's real estate market: sellers are increasingly choosing to pull their listings entirely rather than reduce their asking prices. This strategic decision reflects a fundamental shift in market psychology and creates unique opportunities for serious buyers who understand how to navigate this new landscape.
