Episode notes

According to Tina Tamboer, Senior Housing Analyst at The Cromford Report, what we're seeing in the housing market is not a correction, but rather a disruption and the next few months are going to be a very telling time. Jason Hartman and Tina put the Phoenix housing market under a microscope to see exactly what's happening with buyers, sellers, listing prices, foreclosures, landlords, rent increases and rate hikes!

Supply is rising and prices are being reduced in the Phoenix area market as there have been a significant number of seller reductions each week in various price ranges.

We are seeing a slowdown and we're seeing the tables turn a little bit more towards the buyers in this market. We're not seeing people waving inspections or paying quite as much over listing price as we have the past two years, but that doesn't mean we're in a buyer's market. It does not mean that sale prices won't continue on an upward trajectory. We're just seeing sellers getting a little more accommodating and conceding to concessions.
