The resurgence of interest in Phoenix’s mid century modern architecture means that such homes are in demand.

This demand for a limited stock has increased prices a lot, despite the waning market we are in. Because good examples of mid century modern are of limited supply and more people are discovering them, they have additional value which will help keep prices up.

Not everyone will like these homes, but for those interested in modern homes, this is one of only a few such places left and you can make the home yours as many still require renovation, just expect to pay a premium compared to other ranch homes.
