Belfiore: Queen Creek, Hunt Highway show housing market’s resilience against COVID impacts
"The regional housing market continues to show that it has not been hit as hard as expected by the COVID-19 shutdowns and job losses.
“It’s a lot stronger than I expected,” said real estate expert Jim Belfiore.
Belfiore, who is president of Belfiore Real Estate Consulting in Phoenix, points to a bellwether growth submarket – the Queen Creek, San Tan and Hunt Highway areas in the Southeast Valley.
. . . Belfiore initially projected as much as an 80 percent drop in home sales because of pandemic shutdowns.
The Queen Creek and San Tan areas have seen significant growth as the East Valley continues to grow and gain jobs before COVID. Belfiore said closer-in East Valley suburbs such as Gilbert, Chandler and the Mesa Gateway area are still popular but are increasingly getting built out. . . "

The decision was made at a Sept. 19 town council meeting.
The wells are to be west of Meridian Drive, between Germann and Queen Creek roads.
“The two wells are identified to be constructed in areas agreeable to both the town and the developers of the Barney Farms project,” Paul Gardner, utilities director, said in a memo to the council. . .
Voting to approve the contract with Clear Creek Associates at the Sept. 19 meeting were Vice Mayor Emilina Turley and council members Jake Hoffman, Robin Benning, Dawn Oliphant (by phone), Julia Wheatley and Jeff Brown.
Mayor Gail Barney recused himself for a conflict of interest.
The Barney Farms lake well was included in the fiscal year 2018-19 approved budget.
The Barney Farms well and tank was originally programmed for the fiscal year 2018-20 timeline, Mr. Gardner said in the memo.
“An accelerated schedule is required to keep pace with development,” he said.
