What does this mean?  The numbers above don't by themselves shed any light on the state of the multifamily market in Phoenix.  I just threw them up as a starting point.  Tracking of sales for small income apartments in Phoenix will expand in the future. 

We do have a cool new map based search for multifamily properties at www.SearchValleyHomes.com just pick the advanced button the the bottom left then select multifamily and you can view by map and by area and you can even get new properties by email or RSS feed.  The RSS feed is the way to go.
