As promised to the good folks at DCHousingBlues (and by extension HousingDoom), here are the latest statistics from the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service, which includes Maricopa County as well as out-of-county listings taken by in-county member agents.

I'm skipping commentary on the following statistics to allow readers to draw their own conclusions, whether they prefer year-over-year or month-over-month comparisons, and also because I'd hate to be accused of spinning the statistics. These are the numbers, do with them whatever you choose.
