Phoenix home prices were up 33% year over year in the most recent Case-Schiller report, causing concerns about affordability. We should recognize that home prices are rising in most other metro areas as well, although not at this same pace. But in spite of rapid increases, Phoenix housing is still competitive compared to California overall and many nearby metro areas. According to Zillow (October 2021) Phoenix home price sales average $474,993, but Denver was $619,967 and Austin was $526,583.
