Not hit hard but it still hurts

@Gabriel,

Being hit hard is relative.  I know of several sellers who want to make lifestyle changes and these low double digit declines have made their plans more difficult to implement.  Plus, many speculative builders have had to let new homes go for less then construction cost just to say afloat.

One reason Paradise Valley has not been hit so hard is that investers in the housing boom bought many lower priced homes instead of more expensive luxury homes.  Because Paradise Valley homes are mainly owner occupied, these homes have held their value more.
