Over the last several months, the market has shifted slightly as it relates to price decreases, enough so that in another month or two, we can call it a trend. During the last two years, the Flagstaff real estate market rarely saw a price drop and, in fact, had price increases and bidding wars on many properties listed. The multiple-offer scenario has not evaporated, but now more than ever, the condition of the home as well as a strong listing price based on comparables in the neighborhood are … [Read more...] about The Path Toward Normalcy
