Fueled by the multifamily sector, Phoenix has returned to robust growth and re-established credibility in the residential real estate investment community and is now ranked among the nation’s top homebuilding markets, according to a new report.

While Phoenix ranks in the middle of the pack at No. 31 among U.S. metros in overall real estate investment and development prospects, it surged into the top 10 in the prestigious Urban Land Institute report with a ranking at No. 7 in homebuilding prospects.
