Your tears may be of sorrow because of the decline but they my be of joy, because you can now buy a wonderful home at an affordable price.&amp;nbsp; The previous named cities had the highest declines in median home prices from the previous year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's interesting&lt;/strong&gt; to compare the median home price drop from Dec. 2006 to Dec. 2007 compared to the median home price drop by year.&amp;nbsp; The former number is -9.3% from $255,900 to $232,000 while the later is $260,000 in 2006 compared to $257,000, a decline from 2006 to 2007 of only 1.4%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img width="399" hspace="0" height="286" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2271/2184052103_9a43a6222a.jpg?v=0" alt="median home price trends in greater phoenix, az" style="width: 399px;

This is a decline of 24% from the 67,035 that sold in 2006.&amp;nbsp; I won't even mention the decline from 2005 because its huge and irrelevant, since that year was an unusual year.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;In December 3,290 homes sold.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; 3,280 sold in November 2007 and 4,620 a year ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;It is in the last few months of 2007 that the decline was most severe.&amp;nbsp; Compare the previous &lt;a target="_blank" href="item/180051" title="historic median home prices changes in Greater Phoenix"&gt;month by month median home price charts for Greater Phoenix.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what does this mean?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; It's either good news of bad news, but mostly good for affordability and normalization.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a target="_blank" href="item/194278" title="Phoenix real estate"&gt;If you are a buyer read this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Please read our article about the &lt;a target="_blank" href="item/194283" title="Greater Phoenix 2008 real estate outlook"&gt;2008 Greater Phoenix real estate forecast&lt;/a&gt;. Then decide how to proceed only after a consultation with &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.arturciesielski.com/" title="Artur &amp; Joanna Real Estate Team in Phoenix, AZ"&gt;your favourite Phoenix real estate agents&lt;/a&gt;, because there is more to the real estate market then median home prices,&amp;nbsp;because each neighborhood behaves differently.&amp;nbsp; Even the gods at ASU stress that, &amp;quot;While some areas have declining prices, other areas are increasing or remaining fairly stable, especially the mature neighborhoods that are close to freeways, retail and schools.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; The numbers for those neighborhoods support that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Would you like to know the approximate value of your home&lt;/strong&gt; in the Phoenix valley?&amp;nbsp; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.accesshomevalues.com/" title="estimated home values"&gt;Access Home Values&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
