ANGELA BARNEY
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
Angela is a true professional and is always willing to go the extra mile to get it done right, and she makes it easy. I have used her in 5 deals and all went smoothly - she knows the market very well and gives very solid advice. I am highly recommending Angela to anyone looking to buy or sell their home, she will make it right and an easy transaction, she is A+ in my book!
I originally tried to sell my home by owner but after several frustrating weeks I reached out to Angela who listed my home gave me several tips and instructions on how to stage my home. She was always professional and great to deal with. We got a great price on my home and she was very informative through the entire process, highly recommended.
Angela was the agent I used on my first home purchase on my own as a newly divorced single woman. Her patience and consideration of what I desired in a home was incredibly compassionate. She truly loves what she does for a living and her knowledge is unsurpassed as she takes you through the process, so you feel confident that you have made the right decision. I highly recommend this agent!!!

PHOENIX MARKET CHECK-IN:
WHAT BUYERS & SELLERS NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW
As a broker at West USA Realty, I’ve had a front-row seat to the shifts happening in the Phoenix real estate market. While the last few years brought extreme competition and rapid appreciation, we’re now seeing a more balanced and strategic market take shape—and that’s good news for everyone.
1. MORE HOMES ON THE MARKET
Inventory has noticeably increased across the Valley. That means buyers have more options, and sellers are facing more competition. This shift is giving buyers time to breathe and make thoughtful decisions, rather than jumping into bidding wars. For sellers, it means pricing your home correctly—and preparing it to shine—is more important than ever.
2. PRICING IS LEVELING OFF
While home values have held steady in many areas, we’re not seeing the sharp month-over-month increases that defined the market during the boom. This is a sign of stabilization, not collapse. Homes that are priced right and show well are still selling, but those that are overpriced or outdated are sitting longer. Sellers should work with an experienced agent to price strategically and avoid unnecessary delays.
3.
BUYERS HAVE MORE LEVERAGE
With fewer multiple-offer situations, buyers today have the opportunity to negotiate—on price, repairs, and even closing costs. It's a refreshing change that rewards preparation and flexibility. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines for the market to “cool down,” now may be your window to act.
4. UPDATED HOMES ARE IN DEMAND
While inventory has increased, not all homes are created equal. Move-in ready homes with updated kitchens, modern finishes, and well-maintained systems are still in high demand. Sellers who invest in small improvements— paint, curb appeal, basic repairs—can see a real return in both price and speed of sale.
5. PHOENIX REMAINS A STRONG INVESTMENT
Despite the short-term shifts, Phoenix continues to attract buyers from all over the country. Our affordability, job growth, and quality of life keep demand strong. Investors are still finding value in the rental market, and long-term homeowners can feel confident in the area's continued growth.
FINAL THOUGHTS FROM YOUR BROKER
