On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” Mark Stapp, professor at ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business, sat down to discuss the current state of the housing market. Phoenix homebuyers can no longer rely on the typical housing market cycle due to limited supply and increasing prices.

We also heard from Sandra Watson, President and CEO of Arizona Commerce Authority, who discussed how increased economic development made 2026 Arizona’s most successful fiscal year to date. Over $100 billion was raised in capital investment and over 26,000 new jobs were created in the 2026 fiscal year.

Finally, Andre Hardy, author and former NFL player, discussed his new book, “Tear the City Down.” The story follows a fixer for a politician who is desperate to better his life for his family.
