Higher prices have many buyers searching for a house they can afford.
Deals still can be found on some new properties in metro Phoenix, but buyers probably will need to gas up before checking out the neighborhoods.
New homes starting at less than $185,000 are for sale in the Valley’s southeastern edge suburbs, about an hour to 90 minutes from central Phoenix. That’s much lower than the Phoenix-area median new-home price of $320,000 and below the resale median of about $265,000.
Edge suburbs least expensive
New-home developments in Pinal County — in Coolidge, Casa Grande, Florence and the city of Maricopa — are offering most of the least-expensive new homes for sale in the region, according to Belfiore Real Estate Consulting.
