I'm a student at the University of Connecticut and I am doing my consumer behavior paper on the housing market. I wanted to focus on the geographic market segment that i believe was hit the hardest so i chose the "Valley of the Sun." If you all could answer the following questions it would be such a help since no agents i've called have gotten back to me

How the purchase behavior for homes has changed as a result of the current economic climate?

Who are the "key players" in the Housing market?

What needs to take place for the market to pick up?

When do you predict the pick up will happen?

How have your sales been impacted?

Why was AZ hit so hard compared to other states?

What are some strategies you are taking to better market the houses?

Do you have any personal recommendations?

If you can answer all or just one it would be of such help! thank you all!

How the purchase behavior for homes has changed as a result of the current economic climate? First time buyers are still scared because of the employment market.

Who are the "key players" in the Housing market? Investors>fix and flip

What needs to take place for the market to pick up? nothing, its already correcting itself.

When do you predict the pick up will happen? by the end of summer it will be booming again

How have your sales been impacted? huge increase from this time last year!!!

Why was AZ hit so hard compared to other states? the loans that were made to illegal immigrants.

What are some strategies you are taking to better market the houses? pretty kitchens and bathrooms seem to be the key, priced under 150K

Do you have any personal recommendations? First time home buyers need to be aware of the 8K tax credit. Greg Quinn HomeSmart Realty
