SLOW, YET STEADY A solid 2017 could signal the Valley’s full recovery from 2007-11 housing crash CATHERINE REAGOR THE REPUBLIC | AZCENTRAL.COM
This could be the year for metro Phoenix’s housing market. Home prices are poised to recover fully from the 2007-11 crash. All it will take is another year of steady price and sale gains like we saw in 2016. Phoenix-area home prices climbed about 6 percent last year. The area’s median hit $244,000in December, according to housing analyst Mike Orr’s Cromford Report. And our current median home price is only about 6 percent off from the area’s peak of $260,000 for the boom year 2006. We are so close. All we need is a repeat of last year for Valley home sales.
