I think in both Tucson and Phoenix it’s too obvious there was a lot of speculation leading to a way overbuilt situation, thus vacancies. The maos you put up are pretty cool to see what different areas stats look like for this though.

Yikes my area is the only red area in the country. We do have alot of foreclosures and there was a boom that raised cost of housing to an amazing level and I can see why we are so hard hit. Many other areas of the state are picking up Miami and Sarasota area.

Very cool, Jay. Almost makes me wish I could be a Realtor so I could use them on my site! It’s a great way to add real interactive data to posts that would otherwise be pretty boring.
