Local Housing Expert Weighs In “Arizona Housing Market At Or Near Bottom” An article from azcentral.com, reports that the Valley housing market may be nearing its bottom, according to analyst R.L. Brown. Over the past several weeks, consumer confidence has shown signs of improvement - an indication that the housing market may be near the bottom. “Consumers need to stop sitting on their wallet and being so conservative. This is the time to buy,” said Brown. He reminds us not to lose sight of the fact that Arizona is in an enviable position. “It’s so easy to believe some of the stuff that is being said by economists who have never been west of the Hudson,” Brown said. “This place will continue to be one of the best housing markets in the world. Arizona will flourish once again.” It’s exciting to see so much improvement in the marketplace. North Scottsdale real estate is very encouraging, with more homes under contract, more homes closing escrow and the length of time on market declining! It seems that some buyers that have been waiting for just the right time are finally making their move. I do believe that there is a pent-up demand and once word gets out that we’re passing the bottom of the market, buying will occur rapidly again as everyone wants to purchase at the bottom.
