....from this article is "It is like going to the mall and everything is on sale." Between the great prices and the $8,000 tax credit there are deals to be made.

Mesa County Real Estate Trends For Last 20 Years

Let me just start by saying....be prepared to be surprised. The following graphs show how many homes have sold each year in the last 20 years. It is definitely an eye opener. That being said I think we need to learn from our history. If I had a penny for every time one of my parents said.."I should have bought that home on the corner back in '85. It was a HUD home priced for $75,000 and it just sold for $250,000 last month" or "Back in '85 that home was going for $65,000 and my payment would have been around $500 a month. I never really liked it much for me, but he is getting $1300 a month for rent on that thing, now." As we watch these homes come on the market and the asking prices dropping, this is a great time to invest in our future. Just remember to make sure it will cash flow (pay for itself) today.
