Chan,
I am a local investor in Casa Grande, take a look at the paper, there are pages of homes for sale, 750+ mls listings, 150 REO's (bank owned) homes and another 100 + for lease option/rent. RIGHT TIME IS NOW. Be willing to negotiate, be willing to walk away if you don’t get what you want, and find another. I walked 2 new build communities last week, when I was done I had a stack of fliers over ½ inch thick, if you have cash to put down (20% or greater) go to a builder and make an offer, DON’T be afraid to counter offer closer to your price.

Hi, Chan ... the answer depends on what type of property you're looking to purchase. The answer will be different for residential than for commercial, and probably different for single-family than for multi-family.
