“Zip Code Real Estate Notebooks” Updated with February 2008 data

by John Wake on March 21, 2008

North Scottsdale and P.V. median home sale prices are still hanging tough even though sales are still quite low.

Sun City 85351 had a nice increase in the number of homes sold.

Most zip codes that I checked didn’t see any significant changes.

By the way, I haven’t looked at all the zip codes. If you see something interesting, please point it out in a comment. I would like to check it out.

March is the Big Month

March is a bellwether month. We know closings will increase significantly in March. We don’t know how much will they increase.

The answer to that question will tell us a lot about how the rest of 2008 will play out for the Arizona residential real estate market.

John, March will indeed be a good litmus test in AZ and around the country. It will be very interesting to see your charts of March later in April and the Shiller data a few weeks later (in May).

BTW…I have a financial blog (see address above) that I linked to this one, if that is okay. Your real estate writing is pretty level headed.

You add a lot to the discussion. I haven’t checked your previous posts but I recommend you always have your name linked to your blog or website. That is what blogging is all about.
