to see that the numbers do not come close. While the numbers are down from a few years ago, they are more on par with what is normal for our industry.

Also, comparing home sales during the boom to today would be like comparing rainfall here in the Valley, where most of the time we have a pretty dry climate. It is only during the monsoons do we have large amounts of rainfall. And while there are years that it rains more, comparing a couple of really wet years to the majority of dry ones is not really a good comparison. The years where it rains more are an exception more than they are the rule.

Real Estate is very similar to the rain. Although things have been cloudy lately, it does not necessarily mean it is going to rain. And if it does rain, it may only be raining in one part of town, where in another part of town it is still dry.

But overall, in Phoenix, it looks like the sun is finally ready to come out again.
