The housing market in zip code 85028 displays a typical trend line. Sales usually pick up for the summer and it's no different here.
Still as clear as this trend is for the median price its quite different for inventory.
There was a small drop in inventory for the summer and its on the increase lately. Many of the homes that have been on the market quite a long time have been reduced in price and are pending.
None the less the supply of homes at just over 17 months puts it well above the 10 month average for the valley. This means that competition for the limited buyers is fierce and prices will, probably, continue to decline until the market becomes more stabilized.
The 85028 zip code has many unique attributes but it's lack of major traffic makes is less know, so these characteristics need to be loudly exposed so that potential buyers know they even exist.
