New-home buyers still can find bargains in metro Phoenix, but long drives are part of the deal

Higher prices have many buyers searching for a house they can afford.
Deals still can be found on some new properties in metro Phoenix, but buyers probably will need to gas up before checking out the neighborhoods.
New homes starting at less than $185,000 are for sale in the Valley’s southeastern edge suburbs, about an hour to 90 minutes from central Phoenix. That’s much lower than the Phoenix-area median new-home price of $320,000 and below the resale median of about $265,000.
