Gas prices have risen 11 cents in the Valley, averaging $3.41 a gallon compared to $3.30 last week, and AAA Mountain West Group said seasonal trends and global tensions may prompt further increases.

Conditions in the Southeast Valley office market stabilized in 2025 as vacancy dropped to about 25% and leasing activity reached 2 million sqft in Q4—Chandler, Gilbert, and Tempe led improvements.

Reports show tenants favored newer Class A spaces with modern amenities, spurring modest rent increases and a surge in demand.

The Valley is hosting spring training with 15 teams and 10 stadiums as ongoing games boost the local economy, create over 6,000 jobs, and generate hundreds of millions in revenue (a sign of growing local engagement) as local fans and businesses experience the season's excitement.
