Summary
Real estate activity in the Phoenix Metro area market continues to deteriorate, where demand in the market is roughly the same as the supply. Some good news is that the federal tax credit deadline to close escrow on qualified home sales was extended to September 30th. Stay tuned to our blog, where we will keep you updated.
