Here's what you can get for $800,000 in Flagstaff, Arizona

Flagstaff, Arizona is known as a popular destination for tourists driving Route 66 and for its location near natural sites like Grand Canyon National Park.

But the city is also home to businesses like Nestle’s Purina Petcare subsidiary and several manufacturing plants for GORE-TEX maker Gore.

For homebuyers, the area offers lots of opportunities for sweeping mountain views. But Flagstaff’s real estate market has slowed during the coronavirus pandemic, with a steep drop in homes hitting the market – 24 percent as of March, the Arizona Daily Sun reported.

More than half of respondents to a statewide Arizona Association of Realtors survey said their clients had delayed making a purchase or putting up a listing due to COVID-19. More than half of the realtors also said their business had been below or significantly below normal since the pandemic started.

Meanwhile, prices have risen locally. The median home price in Flagstaff was $425,000 in March, a six percent increase from a year earlier, the Sun reported. That trend has continued. The median list price in Flagstaff was $489,000 last month, according to Realtor.com. That was a 6.3 percent increase from a year earlier.
