As seen on AZFamily.com
In the Phoenix Valley, buyers looking for affordability are still finding options in established communities despite rising mortgage rates near 7%. Neighborhoods like Garfield, Deer Valley, and Glendale stand out with median home prices ranging roughly from $435,000 to $455,000, often offering larger yards and central locations. While the overall Phoenix median sits around $445,000, seasonal slowdowns and shifting demand can create better opportunities for active buyers and sellers. Even with affordability tightening compared to past years, these areas remain some of the most accessible entry points in the market.
