    What Fletcher Fails to Mention
    Is that there is a lack of inventory that has caused a decrease in transactions, not because of the increase in prices. It's never prudent to omit facts, the Real Estate market is in fact very healthy in Maricopa County. Demand is high, rates are low, the folks that have jobs are buying again and folks that bought just a few years ago have equity.
