To be fair i do live outside the city scape for personal reason and preferences but even then the prices are still elevated. each time I've signed a new lease its increased homes plus land near my parents are going for 3/4 of a mil to well above that on 1.3 acres of land. 4 years ago it was sub 500kOur son was in Tempe last year and his apartment cost was dumbfounding for what it was.
He’s in Frisco, Texas now and has a nicer place at a fraction of the cost.
