Market Comparison
When comparing Arizona to other major markets like California and Colorado, it's evident that Arizona's market is contracting more sharply. For instance, California saw a year-over-year sales decline of 10.9%, and Colorado's decline was 8.3%, both significantly less than Arizona's 20.4% drop. Additionally, Arizona's average item price decrease is more pronounced than in these states, suggesting a possible oversupply or reduced consumer spending power. This comparative analysis highlights the challenges Arizona faces and may point to broader economic or regulatory issues impacting its market more than others.
