A follow-up to a post by Dean Ouellette at http://www.deansellsaz.com and a chat with a friend of mine who is contemplating a Strategic Default on her home. Is this a sign of things to come in 2010? Seems that way if the issue of negative equity is not addressed by banks.

I am heading downtown to check out some of the downtown destinations in Metro Phoenix and review how each town fared in the 2009 real estate market.
My westernmost destination is Glendale, whose historic district hosts many fabulous events each year, including Glendale Glitters, the Glendale Choclate Affaire and the annual Jazz and Blues Festival. It’s also a great place to shop for antiques!

Of course, I could not leave out downtown Phoenix! This downtown has come a long way since the Phoenix Suns got their new downtown digs. It is now a great destination with much to offer.
