A Message From Wayne Graham, Head of Real Estate

“Supply has had a major impact on the Phoenix housing market. Phoenix grew at a faster rate than any other major city in the past decade, becoming the fifth-largest city in the nation. With an increased population and record low-interest rates, our market is struggling to keep up with the demand. However, there is hope the market will become balanced in the second half of 2021.”
