But the Fountain Hills market has had a surge of interest from luxury buyers even as the number COVID-19 cases in Maricopa County, where both Phoenix and Fountain Hills are located, lead the state, Mansion Global reported.
Zillow rated Fountain Hills as “very hot” as of this week. Its median home value estimate in the town was up 6.3 percent year-over-year.
“Everything is selling,” Tony Pellegrini, the listing agent, told Mansion Global. “It’s so hot we’re going through our old expired listings.”
