Mmmm....I find statistics from your area to be very informative.    Florida, Arizona, Nevada, California...they are like "canary in the mine" markets, I think, and are bellweathers for other areas.

I would think that much of the decrease in sales prices from the previous year has much to do with the increased number of distressed sales.
