The Sedona real estate market is showing signs of stabilization that is outpacing Arizona metropolitan areas because of its strong economic base, the international appeal of Sedonaís dramatic red rock beauty and small town resort lifestyle, and the historically low interest rates now available. Buyers longing for a higher quality of life during their retirement are recognizing that it is a great time to buy if you choose your market wisely.
