Apartment sales have slowed in the first three quarters of 2017 in Greater Phoenix.  
There are still many, many Buyers looking to invest in the Phoenix Market. So, what's causing this?  1.  Buyers are being cautious.  2. Rental income has not matched the strong pricing increase.  3. Lenders are looking closer at actual income and expenses and not assuming rent increases will take care of available cash flow.  4. Lenders are requiring more cash down.  5. The increase in rents is slowing.  6. There is not a lot of product available on the market.  
7. Owners are enjoying the good rental market and cash flow and do not feel any sense of urgency to sell.  8. If owners did sell, it's difficult to find a replacement property. 
 
All this said, where is the market heading?  Call me.  Let's talk.
