That median of $319K is too high- it's at $256,900. The inventory number looks low- it depends on if you include pending etc.- so you see different numbers around. I consistently use the info from the AZMLS site: http://www.armls.com/stats_armls.html I find it to be more accurate. AZNewbie-

I spend a good portion of my day in business and academic circles. A certain degree of roughness seems to be inherent with the territory, so I live with it. I remain however, the mother of five with a strict "no name calling in this house" policy- and access to the website "edit" button. I reserve the right to arbitrarily edit comments that I feel cross the line. Warning to posters-

Which is what is making our country worse because we are inundated with more an more of these clowns who can not think for themselves or allow someone to have a dissenting opinion. I leave this board as i do not have time to waste with ignorant types. Best of luck to Twist and John M.
