Here’s How the Pandemic Changed Home Buying
AZ Business Magazine, March 5, 2025
The housing market of today looks remarkably different from the market five years ago, just before the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic in March 2020 – a pandemic that changed home buying forever.

NAR Thinks Phoenix Will be a ‘Housing Hot Spot’ in 2025
Emily Marek, Phoenix Agent Magazine, December 12, 2024
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) released its predictions for the real estate industry in the upcoming year, which includes a forecast of the top 10 housing hot spots for 2025. The Phoenix metropolitan area is one of those hot spots, according to the association’s recent report.
There are 10 factors that influence this prediction, NAR said. Firstly, the markets identified as potential hotspots have fewer locked-in homeowners. In a high mortgage rate environment, buyers with low rates are less likely to sell — but in markets where fewer homeowners are “locked in” to sweetheart rates, there’s a higher likelihood of increased inventory for buyers.
