Phoenix, AZ, July 4, 2026 — Joe Janus, Phoenix Realtor with Compass and a Certified Negotiation Expert, is pleased to announce the release of his 2026 market forecast for Metro Phoenix’s most distinctive neighborhoods. The forecast covers Arcadia, the Biltmore, Central Phoenix, and Paradise Valley, areas known for historic bungalows, mid-century ranches, and custom contemporary homes. Janus built the report to give buyers and sellers a clearer read on where the luxury market is headed this year.

Phoenix’s luxury and historic home market has grown more competitive, and buyers who search for homes with true character-driven properties often find that a standard MLS search does not tell the whole story. Pricing a historic ranch in Arcadia or a Spanish Colonial in Paradise Valley takes more than comparing square footage. It takes someone who understands the architecture, the neighborhood history, and how those details translate into real value at the negotiating table.

“People who want a home with character usually want an agent with one too,” Janus said. “This forecast is about giving them real numbers to work with, not just a feeling about where the market might go. I want my clients walking into a negotiation with facts on their side.”

The forecast breaks down current inventory levels, pricing trends, and shifting buyer demand across the Valley’s architecturally distinctive submarkets. It also reflects Janus’s broader approach to real estate, which leans on his background in hospitality and sales to read what clients actually need rather than what fits a generic template. Joe Janus specializes in relocation services for buyers moving into the region and works closely with sellers to price homes accurately based on what the market will bear, not what feels comfortable in the moment.

Janus’s certified negotiation training plays a central role in how he represents both buyers and sellers throughout a transaction. He has built his practice around the idea that a strong deal does not have to come at the expense of a good relationship between the parties involved.

“Joe brought a level of preparation to our negotiation that we hadn’t seen from other agents,” said a recent Arcadia home seller. “He knew the comps, he knew the history of the house, and he knew exactly when to hold firm and when to give a little. That made all the difference.”

Looking ahead, Janus plans to update the forecast regularly as new data comes in, giving Phoenix homeowners and prospective buyers an ongoing resource for navigating the Valley’s luxury and historic markets.
