For a number of years residential real estate in Greater Phoenix has gotten much local and national attention from the news media. The news was on the Greater Phoenix real estate crash. News on skyrocketing foreclosures and how fast home values were plumeting. Greater Phoenix was defined as a market in decline. Now, there is a reverse course. News is now on how we are leading the country in single family residential price gains, how investors have flocked to our area paying cash and bidding up prices, how there is a shortage of resale inventory, while there is an abundance of buyers, and how the number of foreclosures are greatly diminished. Since trends in the Greater Phoenix real estate market often lead the country, real estate and lending professionals from other parts of the country watch and study our market. The Wilcox Report.com is sometimes the first to report on Greater Phoenix real estate and lending trends, and often information in the report is used by local and national media.
