I thought this was interesting: compare the median prices and units sold for the last 4 weeks for downtown/midtown zipcode 85003 (west of central) for the same period last year.

tells us that units have been selling at Tapestry and Portland place at a rate of 3 - 6 a week apiece for the last two months, double the pace from shortly before. So what gives? Is "one a week/month" just overblown, out of date, or specific for nothing special/small scale/marginal area units?
