Each month, we invite a real estate association leader to write a column on the state of the industry and the work of their organization in a feature we call Association News. The following are the five most-read Association News columns of 2022.

No. 1: Taking a closer look at Arizona’s shifting real estate markets

Gary Nelson of the Arizona Association of Realtors digs deep on the data to navigate the state’s shifting real estate market.

No. 2: Phoenix real estate housing inventory beginning to recover

“The reality is that housing is one of the major spokes in the wheel in our economy. We still need more homes for buyers. We still need more sellers to take advantage of their equity, and make a move to right-size.” — Andrea Crouch, 2022 president, Phoenix Realtors

No. 3: What September means to Realtors and our safety

Since 2003, September has been designated as REALTOR® Safety Month by the National Association of REALTORS®.

No. 4: Missing middle housing could be the solution to the Phoenix housing inventory crisis

Missing middle housing options, smaller units than a typical detached single-family home, are less expensive to build, purchase and maintain, making them more affordable options to add to the housing market. 

No. 5: Phoenix market creating opportunity for homebuyers, Realtors

Some say the Phoenix metro home market is cooling off, but it’s more accurate to say that it’s entering a new phase, one that’s steadier and more predictable.
