I ask because it seems like everyone I know that visits Phoenix owns a vacation property and is already established (read: old). Is it a good time to move to a city like Phoenix (in the next year or two), or is it merely a better time to invest in extra property there? To say it differently, is the economy doing well and forecast to do well? Or will I be waiting tables?

Economy is okay. I think it depends on what you do. I would think an architect would get plenty of work. There is tons of money in this town and lots of people who build custom, so if doing that type of stuff is up your alley, Phoenix is a great place to be. I would asay that you want to try a summer in Phoenix. If you can take the heat, you'll love it.
