Nonetheless, there are some pretty fabulous places to choose from if you are looking to go out to eat. Mexican food … [Read more...]
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot Here is the May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot. Some of our Phoenix neighborhoods are performing as very strong sellers markets. A sellers market is typically marked by limited inventory, multiple offers on homes, and offers above the list price. It is extremely competitive out there.

Compared to last month's number of just over 14,000 active listings, that number has decreased dramatically. Our MLS is just at over 11,000 active listings.
