HELLO MYOARIN! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS BELOW--I APPRECIATE YOU, YOUR INSIGHT & INTELLIGENCE, & YOUR REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION. PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS--SIMPLY THE EASIEST & PERHAPS CLEAREST WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN YOUR COMMENTS & MINE. . .HERE GOES--PLEASE READ BELOW. This is just a free comment. I see that this your first posting to G-A. It is a compliment to the Researchers that you think all your questions can be answered, however there may be problems (PROBLEMS DON'T EXIST--ONLY SOLUTIONS : ). As you can read in the FAQs, you will have a much better chance of getting answers to all your questions if you post them as individual questions, thus allowing more than one Researcher to help you (POSSIBLE TO DIVIDE THE QUESTIONS AMONGST YOURSELVES WITHOUT MY HAVING TO BREAK THEM DOWN & GO THROUGH THE POSTING PROCESS AGAIN? MONEY NOT THE ISSUE--HAPPY TO PAY FOR STRONG PERFORMANCE!). You might also list the states that you include in the Sun Belt; there are different counts(NEVADA, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, TEXAS, ALABAMA, GEORGIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, FLORIDA). Also, if you by chance know some of the "top 3 cities" (PERHAPS THE 3 MOST POPULATED CITIES IN EACH OF THE STATES ABOVE?) in each state - or ones that you would be happy to accept as such - that would make the job easier. Otherwise a Researcher will have to do a great deal more searching to ascertain which cities were tops in appreciation. Have you considered that several cities in the region were hardly such 55 years ago? The places with the largest increase in home prices may be those that were only secondary suburb developments after the war, ones with "ticky-tacky" little houses that probably no longer exist. Orlando had 52,000 inhabitants in 1950, 185,000 in 2000. Do you really want the selection of cities based on your statement under point (1)? Perhaps you do. Do you also want the unemployment figures just for these cities in each state? ("just"! That is at least a dozen different places - and maybe fruitless searching. YES PLEASE--AVG ANNUAL UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES FOR "ONLY" THE 3 MOST POPULATED CITIES IN THE STATES ABOVE) "1950-present": are you asking for interim periods? (AVG UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES PER YEAR SINCE 1950 PLEASE) Sorry to be asking so many questions, but I hope you see the point (APOLOGIES UNNECESSARY--COMMUNICATION KEY TO ALL SOLUTIONS). Please believe me, I am not suggesting that your questions cannot be answered, just the magnitude of the effort. Perhaps you have not realized how much information your question is asking for - perhaps it is more than you really need or intended to request - the choice of cities, for example. Let us know if you can refine your question. Most major ones start with a dialogue for just this reason. RECEPTIVE TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE BEST, MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACH. . . Again, this is a free comment, not an "answer", which only an official G-A Researcher with a blue name can post. BLUE NAME? Looking forward to hearing from you, Myoarin LET THE GAMES BEGIN! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU NEED FROM ME. . .HAPPY DAY!

Hi Vic, Thank you for having understood my comment the way it was intended, and thank you for including your UPPER CASE clarifications. I am very glad that Pafalafa has come in since I first read your clarification. His suggestion sounds like the best way to start. Good luck! Myoarin

hi pafalafa yes, helpful; however, more helpful if you please respond to my original questions--as they relate to phoenix (& other large sunbelt cities). graphs/charts w- answers to my questions extremely helpful! thank you so much

vict-ga, You picked a pretty significant city. I found a recent US government report on housing prices that says that Phoenix is the fastest growing area in the country, in terms of the increases in housing prices: ...Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ continues to be the MSA with the greatest appreciation rate of 39.7 percent. ...Appreciation in Arizona continues to surpass price growth in other parts of the country by a wide margin. Appreciation was 34.9 percent between the fourth quarter of 2004 and the fourth quarter of 2005. This is more than eight percentage points greater than the rate in Florida, the second fastestappreciating state The actual recent home price appreciation in the Phoenix MSA (metropolitan statistical area, a unit used by the census) is: MSA Ranking 1-Yr. Qtr. 5-Yr. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottdale, AZ 1 39.67% 7.77% 93.02% So...prices have almost doubled in the past five years. The report doesn't go back farther than this, I'm afraid. Is this sort of information useful? If so, I can probably provide it for most large cities in the sunbelt, or elsewhere in the US. Let me know what you think the best way to proceed is, at this point. pafalafa-ga

vict-ga, Thanks for bringing your question to Google Answers. You're asking for information from 30 cities, and about 20 pieces of information from each city = 600 pieces of data. You can see what a substantial task this is, and even at $200, it involves a level of effort that can't easily be justified. A suggestion: Ask your question, first, for just a single city of most interest to you...Atlanta seems a good starting city. This will allow both you and the researchers to get familiar with what information is really available, and how much effort is involved in amassing it. After a single city's work is done, then you could post new questions for additional cities. How does that sound? pafalafa-ga (see my name in blue, above!)
