   1   5:26pm Wed 27 Jun 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   looks like it reverted to the mean to me. Just over 100 per sq foot should be where it stays. BUT with ever lower int rates - prices could go sky high again with 1.5% mortgage rates (not teaser loans either....mayne with a 5/1 arm or other fixed). We will see under 2% mortgage rates soon, very soon IMO. The fed reserve has figured out they can do ANYTHING and get away with it. So watch for even crazier antics.

The first hint of rain will be interesting to say the least. When it happens, then all the cheerleaders will busy themselves with something else IMHO. Maybe watch more TV.

If Roberto has internet when CA comes to Phoenix, his last transmissions will likely be blow by blows of free fire fights in the streets and his estimates of when market indicators will return to normal.

What's the big deal here? You won't get any capital appreciation from it. And, if you decided to LIVE in it, you have to STAY in it to reverse-mortgage the dump. Why bother? I hear they have nice deals in Mexicali too.

Thank you for that in depth and fact filled analysis. I hope you didn't put your self out too much with the research, and thinking time grappling with all of those meaningful numbers to arrive at that profound conclusion. clambo says So a place on the surface of he sun invaded by illegal aliens a million miles from nowhere is $100K.

Don't say you haven't been warned when you are forced to chew your own arm off for food because of your cash flow problem. Houses are for shelter. They do a great job in keeping out the elements and rodents. Venture outside that purpose and anything can happen.

    14   3:58pm Thu 28 Jun 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   An average is not the correct way to look at the data. The average is not a good indicator of the whole market. You want to use the median price. http://www.deptofnumbers.com/asking-prices/arizona/phoenix/ The average price chart at the start of this thread shows a bottom in March '09 (which clearly didn't occur) and then a 2nd bottom in Sept of last year. When you look at the median data you see the current bottom starts in Jan '11 and coincides with the number of available homes decreasing on the chart below it. (which makes sense given supply and demand) That's my 2 cents on that subject. One other thought. When interest rates eventually increase, won't that mean we'll have yet another housing bottom because most people buy a house based on the monthly payment and not the amount?

The average is not a good indicator of the whole market. that isn't a graph of average price. it is average price per square foot. Also, I use median, I use my own data on the zips i invest in, I use median price of all homes listed in zips I am interested in to see changes in asking prices, amounts of supply, on and on.
