The Arizona Republic - January 2008
Not surprisingly, median prices for existing homes fell throughout most of the Phoenix area from 2006 to 2007, especially in the West Valley, according to a report released today by Realty Studies at Arizona State University.
Avondale, El Mirage, and Goodyear saw declines of nine percent or more in median prices for the whole year.
Phoenix had no change, and Tempe, Chandler and Scottsdale had drops of three percent or less.
However, the numbers show the median prices for the whole year and don't show how prices have been dropping in recent months, which tends to be a slower time anyway.
Medians dropped from November to December in every community except Tempe and Goodyear, where they rose a little.
