If you’ve been thinking about buying real estate in the metro Phoenix region, I think this is the beginning of The Time.
Prices are down steeply in many metro regions over the past 18 to 24 months. Especially in outlying areas like Surprise, Avondale and Queen Creek, prices are downright silly affordable. Try a 3 bed, 2 bath, 1100 square foot starter home at Waddell & Reems for $85,000. Or how about a studio sized vacation condo in a downtown hi-rise with a 180 degree view from the 7th floor…. for $38,000? $38,000!
