Phoenix named hot housing market to watch in 2015
Metro Phoenix is one of the U.S.'s "10 hottest housing markets to watch in 2015," according to a new Realtor.com report.
The real estate website's chief economist, Jonathan Smoke, said Phoenix's potential for income growth and new-home construction landed it on the list.
"Phoenix consistently hammers home market growth through new construction. The sprawling desert city continues to see an increase in overall population and household growth. Household growth is anticipated to increase by 7 percent over the next five years," according to Smoke's report.
Smoke's comment about the Valley's new-home market will surprise some because the region's homebuilding market has yet to recover from the crash. The latest data from Phoenix-based RL Brown Reports shows homebuilding is down 15 percent from last year's slower-than-expected pace.
Smoke's list is made up of cities he expects will see the strongest housing growth, affordable prices and fast-paced sales.
Realtor.com doesn't rank its top 10 cities. The rest of the areas expected to see the most housing growth in 2015, alphabetically: Atlanta, Dallas, Des Moines, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Jose and Washington, D.C.

Best Places to Live Gilbert, AZ #22
22. Gilbert, Ariz.
POPULATION: 218,338
CENSUS REGION: West
MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME: $85,872
MEDIAN HOME PRICE: $242,541
AVERAGE PROPERTY TAXES: $1,672
PROJECTED JOB GROWTH: 8%
From a small village of 5,187 in 1980 to a 218,338-person city in 2014, Gilbert has been one of the fastest-growing places in the country. Luckily its offerings have grown along with it. With a local history museum, great gourmet and Southwestern food, and annual rituals like dog-friendly “Barktoberfest,” there’s always something to do in this bustling, low-crime Phoenix suburb.
Health jobs are big in the area: Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and Banner Health are two major employers, and Isagenix just announced plans to make the town its new headquarters. And at only 5%, Gilbert already has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Arizona.
Boosting Gilbert’s appeal is access to nature: the city is an easy 30-minute drive to Lost Dutchman State Park, and the stunning vistas of San Tan Mountain aren’t that much further out, either.
The downside, Gilbert’s public schools have had a rough go lately. The school board cut more than 80 positions during a budget crunch this year, and three administrators resigned. However, locals are hoping to see a turnaround with new superintendent Christina Kishimoto.
