Metro Phoenix home prices and sales climbed in May, and both are poised to increase again in June.
The Valley’s median home price increased $10,000 to $435,000 last month, according to the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service.
The area’s median is expected to hit $440,000 in June based on pending sales.
Home sales in metro Phoenix jumped 21% in May to almost 7,900.
A tight supply of houses for sale in the Phoenix area is offsetting some of the market’s slowing due to higher interest rates.
