Now that the holiday season is over we’re about to see a parade of new buyers and sellers come on the market alike. If you’re a seller it’s a great time with many buyers on the look for their new home, and if your a buyer it’s a great time with rates still remaining low (especially compared to historical rates!). In other good news, all major cities in the Phoenix Metro area have appreciated. Below are some market updates for different cities in the Valley to keep you in the loop on how YOUR property values are changing:
