What is the home price history for the Phoenix metro area?

Short answer. Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler home prices are up about 251% since 2000 on the FHFA house price index (2000 = 100, 2025 = 351), after a 2006 peak of 208, a 2011 trough of 103, and a 126% rise over the last ten years.

Phoenix is the clearest boom-bust-boom chart in the country. The FHFA all-transactions house price index for the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metro area (2000 = 100) roughly doubled to a 2006 peak of 207.64, then fell by half to 103.44 in 2011, one of the deepest metro declines of the foreclosure crisis. From that trough it rose every year, reaching 351.04 in 2025.
