A sliver of Good News: Pinal County still Building at a pretty good clip.

An article in the East Valley Tribune notes that Pinal County is still building, especially Maricopa. It ranks as the #1 fastest growing county in the nation, with 16.6% growth rate.

Pinal County is going to continue to grow, as it will likely be the metro area's source for the most affordable housing prices. Many builders bought land at reasonable prices, and will continue to offer homes at prices that workers-even modestly compensated workers- will likely be able to afford.

Welcome, its about time I did this.

I have wanted to do a blog for my real estate website for a long time. I think it is important that there is a forum for people to make anonymous contacts, as it gives more people an opportunity to ask questions of people in the business that they might not normally ask, and also find information in a less formal, neutral setting. If you feel like spilling the beans about real estate news, deals, or other juicy bits of information, I am all ears. The most interesting aspect of this business is finding out about deal you didn't know were in the works. Lots of people who are in the business are "land junkies", and we live for analyzing the deals. Those kinds of secrets are most welcome here. So come on in and spill it. I won't give away sources, but I will publish it. So if it can be traced back to you, and you don't want it to, don't tell me here. send it to my email at chris@justlandconsultants.com, and that will be between you and me.

As a start I have put up the two polls, as I am most interested in both of those questions. I look forward to some great exchange of information!
