Home aren’t selling in Phoenix Arizona
Buyers are interested, they’re signing contracts, putting the money down and then backing out of the purchase
“They're walking away after doing the math and deciding the deal just isn't worth it. According to Redfin and the National Association of Realtors, contract cancellation rates hit multi-year highs in 2025 and have stayed elevated heading into 2026.
Phoenix specifically came in at 18.8% canceled contracts as of December, 2025, meaning nearly one in five signed deals in the metro fell apart before closing”
Here’s what’s going on:
In Arizona, once a buyer signs a contract on a condo, the seller has to provide full HOA documents during the inspection period
That's when buyers finally get to see the association's fees
The median monthly condo fee hit $420 in 2025, according to realtor. com data, that's up 29% since 2019 (That’s a HUGE increase)
Once they see this extra monthly cost, it’s too expensive and they back out

Women are earning the majority of college degrees—and they’re also leading in one of the biggest wealth-building moves there is: homeownership.
📊 In the U.S. today:
• ~60% of bachelor’s and master’s degrees go to women
• ~57–59% of doctoral degrees go to women
• 20% of homebuyers are single women
• Just 8% are single men
That means single women are buying homes at more than 2× the rate of single men—all while often earning less on average.
This isn’t just a trend. It’s a shift in economic power.
Women aren’t waiting. They’re investing, owning, and building wealth on their own terms.

This week, I issued an executive order launching a new effort to expand women's access to financial education in California.
We're working to break through historic barriers and ensure more women across the Golden State have the tools to fully participate in our economy.
Some experts say gas prices could go to $7 per gallon. That’s why we need a temporary suspension of our state’s gas taxes, which are the highest in the nation. California leaders say they care about working families. Let’s make them prove it with a temporary suspension of our gas taxes while gas prices remain so high.
Meet Daphnis, a tiny moon of Saturn.
A rock barely the size of a city is violently carving a 26-mile-wide trench through millions of tons of planetary debris. Pure gravitational dominance suspended in absolute silence.

Newsom: It’s a tantrum on top of a tantrum — Trump attacking his own handpicked Supreme Court, which has been completely supine. It’s been doing his bidding, particularly on the shadow docket, for months and months.
