Gold Canyon Arizona Real Estate Stats-February 2012

Residential home sales in the Gold Canyon Arizona area for February 2012 were up from January 2012 numbers. But basically the increase is merely seasonal, as the number of homes sold during February 2012, was exactly the same overall number sold in both February 2011 and February 2010 as well.  While the actual number of sales was the same, the price per square foot of the homes  sold is down. So in general, the sales are consistent with the seasonal time frame – same as the past two years, but the overall price is still showing it is losing ground.
