PHOENIX – Is a 2008-style home burglary headed for the Valley? That could happen, according to a recent Goldman Sachs forecast sent out to clients.
The New York Post quoted Goldman Sachs’ note saying four markets — San Jose, California; Austin, Texas; San Diego, California; and Phoenix – are expected to see house prices fall by about 25%.
“Goldman credits these cities with the lowest prices in the coming year for getting too far removed from fundamentals during the pandemic housing boom,” the New York Post said.
Mortgage rates are also expected to remain high as the country battles inflation.
ABC15 has reported extensively on the rising real estate prices in the Valley and the affordable housing crisis in recent years.
