Market Insights: As the West Valley continues to experience massive growth, one thing I have found, is that the competition for selling is tremendous. In the past it seemed that buyers would choose a city, based on personal preferences and thats were we would look at homes, now buyers are looking in multiple cities for homes that meet their needs. So when selling your home, you are not just competing with homes in your neighborhood, prospective buyers are looking for similar homes in 2-3 neighboring cities. I believe two reasons for this shift, one is the low inventory levels buyers are having to expand the regional search to find the perfect home. Secondly the 303 has really made most west valley cities closer to commute and buyers are willing to add 15 minutes onto a commute to get their dream home.
