Phoenix was #1 in appreciation though just above SD. It was due to rampant speculation and investors. That was not the case here. That unwinding and there is still massive amounts of undeveloped land. Long term i think Phoenix will be fine it just got way ahead of itself. As for data there is tons of available and while i don’t have any for your area i can’t imagine there aren’t local stats published in your local fish wrap.
As for wine in 100+ degrees id suggest a crisp French sauv blanc or rose or perhaps an albarino. Stay away from the reds until Fall. I’m off to Napa and Sonoma in the early morning myself to enjoy all things good.
Cheers and feel free to stop by and comment as you like. This is a good thread for following the red state destination markets for those who can’t or don’t want to stay here
