______________________________________

It's becoming an old saw, but you can't look at this information without seeing the fairly direct correlation (based on location and generally speaking) between the high demand / relatively low supply of lower-end properties versus the lower demand and relatively high supply of upper-end properties. 

And then the caveat that all of you who search for that perfect property know - the truly great properties (competitively positioned) are hard to find and therefore sell at all price points, as there is always competition for 'the best'.

BTW, if you don't see the zip code you're interested in (e.g. 85018 Arcadia shown below) above you can easily and quickly email me and I can provide that to you.
