FIRST QUARTER FLAGSTAFF REAL ESTATE MARKET REVIEW

By
Real Estate Agent with Russ Lyon | Sotheby's International Realty Flagstaff AZ

Hi All: It's been awhile since I have done a market update so here's the latest.  Generally speaking, the first few months of the year don't tell much so it's probably best that I do a quarterly report at least in the early months.  Well, as you can see, so far this year it looks like were down from 2009.  I have noticed that volume is up substantially compared to the first quarter of 2009, but nonetheless, prices are down so far.  Perhaps this trend will continue or perhaps the downturn is due in part to the harsh winter Flagstaff has had.  Time will tell.  Thanks for reading.  I will return to doing updates on a more frequent basis.  As always, keep the comments coming.

Warm Regards
