Nancy Wittenberg is a local real estate guide helping Tempe, Arizona buyers and sellers make smart, confident home decisions.
Why Live in Tempe?
Tempe, Arizona is one of the most dynamic and centrally located cities in the Phoenix metro, known for its urban energy, walkability, and strong rental demand. As of mid-2025, median home prices typically range from the low-to-mid $500,000s, depending on neighborhood and property type.
Tempe offers a diverse housing mix including single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and high-density urban living, particularly near Arizona State University (ASU) and Downtown Tempe. Buyers are drawn to Tempe for its central location, lifestyle amenities, and long-term demand driven by education and employment.
Economy, Education & Employment
Tempe is anchored by Arizona State University, one of the largest public universities in the country, which fuels a robust local economy and consistent housing demand. The city is also home to a growing tech and innovation corridor, with major employers in education, research, finance, and technology.
Its proximity to employment hubs in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, and Mesa makes Tempe especially attractive to professionals seeking shorter commutes and urban convenience.
What our customerS say
Sold a Townhouse home in Tempe, AZ.
I really recommend Nancy whether you are looking to sell or buy a house. She first helped me in buying the house four years ago, and know selling it. Both processes went very smoothly. She is very experienced and will always give great suggestions.

"Nancy recently helped me buy a home in Mesa, AZ. She has a good eye for catching things that a buyer might not notice. Her skill and experience at negotiation can make a deal that might otherwise be out of reach. Nancy goes the extra mile, getting answers to complicated questions and making sure that both sides feel good about a transaction. "
