Exploring Sheaborhood, Market Trends, and March Madness | The Franco Dinh Show Ep. 26

Welcome back to another episode recap of The Franco Dinh Show! It’s mid-March, and there’s a lot going on between basketball season, shifting real estate numbers, and local favorites to spotlight. In this episode, I talk about my March Madness bracket, share some market insights from the Cromford Report, and take you on a tour of a Phoenix neighborhood I love: Sheaborhood.

We opened the episode talking about March Madness. I picked Duke this year, along with about a quarter of the country.

On the personal side, My birthday is next week, and my girlfriend’s just passed, so we’re celebrating together this week. We’re going to First & Last in downtown Phoenix. And next week I'm celebrating my friend's birthday at new spot called Electric Pickle. It’s similar to Chicken N Pickle in Westgate—think games, food, and a great vibe.

Next, we reviewed the latest numbers from the Cromford Market Report. We’re seeing increased inventory and price reductions, with the market shifting further into buyer territory. I go over key updates for cities like Chandler, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Glendale and share where each stands in terms of buyer, balanced, or seller markets.

Lastly, I spotlight one of my favorite communities in Phoenix—Sheaborhood, also known as 32nd Shea. These homes are classic ranch-style with block construction, sitting on large 10,000-square-foot lots. The area is served by the Paradise Valley School District and includes Christy Cove Park and nearby hiking trails. We took a look at several active listings, in this neighborhood.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next week for more market updates and neighborhood tours.
