It’s helpful to see the trends as watched by someone in this area. I live in New York, and find trends all over the world via blogs like yours. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Angelique – I’d be happy to pull some comparable sold properties in your area to give you an idea of what your home might be worth. I’ll send the information to you in an email directly to you.

And hopefully the market will be better than what it is currently next spring when you plan on selling. Of course, we’ll have to take a look at all of the numbers again at that time.

Law school, huh? Good for you. I wish you the best of luck!!

Hi, Steve.

I love to read your housing market stories. I’m in the 85303 area of Glendale (major cross streets being 75th Ave. & Bethany Home Rd.). My house was built in 2003. I live in the Camino Estates subdivision, specfically.

Can you tell me what the going price is for a 4 br/2 bth, 1686 s.f. home? I’d like to sell my house next spring (after the election), so I can move out of state and go to law school (knock on wood).

Can you tell me how the home sales are in my area?

Thanks a bunch.

Chris – Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad that we are able to provide you with some usefull information.

Generally speaking, Central Phoenix has fared better than most of the outlying parts of town. For example, markets like Surprise, Goodyear, Queen Creek, Anthem (to a certain extent), were very investor driven markets back in 2004-2005. Prices appreciation was, in part, artificial, due to the speculative nature behind many of the home purchases.

I’ll spend a few minutes looking at the 85020 zip code and send you an email directly with those numbers so you have a better idea of how your specific market is faring.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment on our blog. We love hearing from our readers.

I just wanted to tell you that I enjoy your website and have it bookmarked. I check it every week or so to see what you are saying. I own in north central phoenix, 85020. Is central phoenix faring worse or better than average? I am considering a job change that would require moving, but am reluctant to deal with a tough market.
