My featured lender has provided a 20 year mortgage interest rate chart which is quite enlightening. I hope you find it to be of value. It definitely shows that interest's rates are more than excellent. For anyone contemplating a Flagstaff home, the current low interest rates we have should be more than enough to encourage a purchase. Click here to view the chart: interest rate chart
On another note, our local New Frontiers Natural Marketplace food store will sponsor an Organic Gardening class on Tuesday, April 20th 7:00 PM at the Theatrikos Playhouse on 11 West Cherry Ave. Jim Mast, Master Gardener, will reveal the secrets that every wannabe gardener in 'Flagstaff needs to know. This is a class that I will attend as it not only sounds like fun but very informative.
have noted that lenders are much more willing to work Short Sales versus facing an AZ Foreclosures on selling. It appears that many lenders are expediting the process and attempting to follow HAFA guidelines. What are you seeing out there?

| MARKET STUDY AND PROJECTIONS NOTES | ||||||||||||
| NOTE: | ||||||||||||
| All projections are based on market study and map created and completed February 2005 by AZNORTH. | ||||||||||||
| All projections include information and data for Flagstaff city and county. (surrounding area within 15 miles of city center)(pop est City-62,000 County-18,000) | ||||||||||||
| All projections are based on a 3% growth rate with a average household size of 2.8 persons. | ||||||||||||
| In this study we have counted all property. Note that a percentage of infill lots and ranch property will not be available in this growth period. | ||||||||||||
| All projections do include "all building" both single family and multiple family units including apartments. | ||||||||||||
| It is estimated that at the end of 2016 there will be around 10,000+ new and redeveloped units. | ||||||||||||
| Study suggests that Flagstaff will have a shortage of needed units because of the length of construction, planning, labor force and approval process of projects. | ||||||||||||
| Carryover projects includes all past developments with units not built from 2005-2010 & 2011-2022 & 2023-2028 | ||||||||||||
| Price range estimated to be the market value at time of sales.(3 % increase per year) | ||||||||||||
| Projections show that we will run out of private, known Forest service traded and known available state lands to be developed by 2023. | ||||||||||||
| Note that "Redev-State Lands Infill-Ect" include all other projects in the city with an estimate of number of units under the city development plan. | ||||||||||||
| Study suggests that we will be out of all private land in 2020 this assumes we will have developed section 20 and 30 of the state land by 2020. | ||||||||||||
| Jobs 56,000 Coconino County, 2.4% per year new jobs, 2006 Wage 38,126 year, | ||||||||||||
| New units needed 2007-2022 16,200 units with 200-250 per year for second homes | ||||||||||||
| Renters v Owners 50%/50% | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH NOTES: | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH has land and projects as of February 2005 of 850+ lots. (averages 50 to 100+ units per year through 2016 to 2023) | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH projections include taking Section 20 (state land) to bid and not owning the entire property, we intend to develop only part of the 1900 units. | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH intends to be a bidder on section 26 & 30 State Land and this projection does not include any of that inventory. | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH plans to supply approximately 10% to 20% of all developments as affordable lots to be made available to the city of Flagstaff for their land trust deed program. | ||||||||||||
| AZNORTH has a Forest service trade and a rezoning to do on two projects that may effect the total projections of market share. |
Hi All: It's been awhile since I have done a market update so here's the latest. Generally speaking, the first few months of the year don't tell much so it's probably best that I do a quarterly report at least in the early months. Well, as you can see, so far this year it looks like were down from 2009. I have noticed that volume is up substantially compared to the first quarter of 2009, but nonetheless, prices are down so far. Perhaps this trend will continue or perhaps the downturn is due in part to the harsh winter Flagstaff has had. Time will tell. Thanks for reading. I will return to doing updates on a more frequent basis. As always, keep the comments coming.
Warm Regards
