I went to a Chinese restaurant in Phoenix and everybody working there was Mexican. It was just odd-not a single Chinese staff.

A sushi place I went to in the South used to have all Japanese sushi chefs the first two times I went there (probably 12-15 years ago). When I went back there a few years later and again recently, all the sushi chefs were Mexican, but still said "arigato" when you left.

Who would want to live in Phoenix?
I've considered it, there's a lot of that style that I like, and the costs can't be beat and are getting even better!
(Well until Obama sells them all to Central American border crossers using our tax dollars to prop up prices.)

I don't know why Roberta can't re join and give us a first hand update. I'm being sincere.

Phoenix is one of the nicest places to live in the US hands down.

the situation in Phoenix is a bit hard to understand. All the action is in Downtown Phoenix. It's likely the nicest metro area in the entire US and still fairly affordable.

yes I bought roughly 4 years ago(REO) and my house has increased in market value. I bought the house in cash. It's not the nicest region but dollar for dollar can't beat it. Weather is great 4/5 of the year. We're in the dog days right now.

is that Phoenix Valley or City of Phoenix?
or is this another 'Phoenix Sucks, Love Kalifornia' thread?

again, is that Phoenix VALLEY or City of Phoenix?
Valley includes a lot of diverse sorts of developments. I think these areas were dramatically overvalued. They resembled California. I live in Metro/Dowtown Pheonix. Totally different story. We have a light rail, near the airport, high rise condos, nice public buildings, etc.

generally dollar for dollar a comparison between Cal and Phoenix is a no brainer.

Why?
affordable. good laws for property owners. no annoying liberals. American soil.

no annoying liberals
That's for sure, but it's still immeasurably annoying nonetheless.
its funny how Californians try and put it down, but really Phoenix is all the basics with none of the insanely overpriced garbage you pay for in California. Most Calis realize this so they only have one recourse- try and put it down. Unfortunately this doesn't help their situation.
Enjoying the beach Californians? when do you get the chance to go there during your 80 hour workweek?

destroying public education?
PUBLIC EDUCATION: by that you mean allowing a little boy dressed as a girl access to the girls bathroom?
you're not an Arizonan, youre some lame transplant. Tucson is retarded- it's for bozo liberals who can't even get along with other liberals. God knows who would want to set up shop in that place aside from pigeons.

no shit- most Arizonans I know spend more time at the beach than the Californians I know.
all Californians ever do is sit around and convince each other how great their obscenely overpriced bullshit lives are. Meanwhile Arizonans are having a barbeque and riding their motorcycles. I guess if you live in California and you're convinced you've got it good, I'm not really going to get all up in your face about it. Enjoy, califags!

ah I get it, you're an illegal alien- oh sorry 'guest worker-slave'.
To grab these nice desert-front properties?
1) Overall sales in June were down 11% year-over-year and at the lowest for June since 2008. (last year were down -10.8% from previous year, itself down -18.0% from 02011)
2) Cash Sales (frequently investors) were down about 40%, so investor buying appears to be declining. Non-cash sales were up about 6% year-over-year.
3) Active inventory is now increasing rapidly and is up 43% year-over-year - and at the highest level for June since 2011.

Looks like there won't be a bubble there.
