Vacancy Rate Map

The Wall Street Journal posts some cool interactive maps on the housing market. The latest is homeowner vacancy rates. Click on the link or map above to go to the WSJ map site.

Vacancy rates are trending up in many metro areas — a trend some economists say can lead to further price declines. More from the Wall Street Journal Developments blog.

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.

I’m from BC and Im just down in phoenix looking for a rental property. I have been looking in queen creek and maricopa so far. Can anyone tell me what the vacancy rates are in those areas? And what other areas of phoenix would be good to invest in?
