Only Nevada fared worse on an annual basis, with a 12.3 percent decline. The same trend is playing out even longer term: The typical Arizona home is now valued at just half of what it was five years earlier. But there are some bright spots in the numbers.

Ralph & Tricia — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 00:40:47 +0000

Recent reports say foreclosures are declining in metro Phoenix and large numbers of homes are selling. But many homeowners feel trapped in houses they can't sell.
