I've been checking historical stats for the month of January.  Mainly because we were in the recent bubble and boy, did it burst.  Many of my friends and neighbors are upside down in their homes.  Buying at the peak and are riddled with buyers remorse.   They come to me, "did you see that spec home with granite countertops?  It's only $156k.  I owe $220k on my home right now.  What can you do for me?"  Oooh, I don't want to answer that.

Anyway, I came here to talk numbers.  It's been interesting to see what the numbers show.   Population growth being the most prominent. 

Here They Are:  (These stat's include Queen Creek Proper & The unicorporated parts of P.C using the QC Mailing Address)

Month     Year    # of Homes Sold                    Avg. Sale Price

Jan       2002                  13                                144,576

Jan       2003                  41                                170,110

Jan       2004                  46                                173,099               

Jan       2005                  122                               224,058

Jan       2006                  112                               308,000

Jan       2007                  109                               265,835

Jan       2008         66/clsd 202/awc&pending          144,755

With a possible 268 sales for Jan 2008 (the month isn't even over yet), and the prices retro'd to 2002, it has created another buying boost. Any speculation how long this will coninue or other forecast?
