Consistent growth year over year. Past few years there's been more expansion and development in the outer areas like Queen Creek, but those areas have appreciated even more than phoenix/scottsdale. 

Based on how many people have moved here from other states (specifically California, Oregon, Washington, and then a few areas like NY/NJ) along with the amount of redevelopment projects and the chip factory that was put in - I think there will be further appreciation for the foreseeable future.

Hi Justin, first off this is great and I'm glad you're looking at these trends before going forward. 

I'm in Phoenix and obviously you can see that there are so many people moving from the west coast states out here to a cheaper and better weather market. I see it all the time, I did it myself moving from Seattle!

I think over the foreseeable future we will see this continue due to rising prices in those markets like California and New York. Definitely some cause for long term concern, but this also can give opportunity to other investors that are willing to invest out of state or more people moving to other states like AZ and TX with long term appreciation in these markets.

What's the best / easiest way to find comps on a property?  

Same here.  Having a hard time finding a company.  These NonAdmitted companies seem sketchy.  

 Hav you tried Obie or Elmsure?

You can go through insurance brokers to see what's out there. For example my broker hooked me up with Safeco. 

If you are in a high fire zone, the California Fair Plan is likely your best bet.

@Justin Brin who are you referring to as an “arbiter”? An arbiter settles differences. An arbitrager takes advantage of two different prices.
