real estate: The market has bottomed. Now what? - 02/22/11 08:29 AM
I recently posted this to my blog that goes out to my clients and customers. It represents some degree of frustration, but it also asks the question we all have: When?
"It will happen, won’t it? You know what I mean. The real estate market in Sonoita, Elgin and Patagonia will begin to act more normal. We’ve been waiting a long time, especially if you are trying to sell a parcel of land. But, I can honestly say it hasn’t happened yet.Our housing inventory remains above 100 units when it should be less than 50. Interest in land parcels is excruciatingly … (0 comments)

real estate: Increased buyer activity - 10/29/10 02:03 PM
I have seen a measurable increase in inquiries, not clicks, coming through the internet in the past couple of weeks. It could be seasonal, but it could also mean that buyers are really thinking about buying. What a novel idea! Our market is long overdue for some serious people to show up and write contracts. I hope you all are seeing the same thing.

real estate: Global Warming and the real estate markets - 01/31/10 09:55 AM
The following link takes you to an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal about global warming. It is yet another explanation, but perhaps more plausible. http://ow.ly/12gus The national real estate markets, save for commercial, are generally looking very positive. Financing is still an issue and selling one home to buy another is still not the easiest task to complete. Nevertheless, the overall trend seems strong and sustainable.
The Mountain Empire market is still undergoing some adjustment as there have not been nearly enough purchases of homes to offset the replacement inventory. Last year there were about 70 homes in our … (0 comments)

real estate: Flurry - 11/03/09 12:03 PM
Believe it or not, we had snow flurries about a week ago here in the high mountain grassland south of Tucson! We've also had a flurry of market activity, but will it develop into a full-flegged blizzard? I think not. This real estate recovery is going to take several years to get back to normal, but there will be bursts of activity in the interim. That's because there will be intermittent periods of bad news, the unemployment rate is going to take some time before it drops significantly and the lenders are still trying to figure out what to lend on. … (0 comments)

real estate: Winds of change? - 09/30/09 08:34 AM
When I let the dogs out this morning, there was a strong fall "breeze". I got to thinking whether or not this was some omen about our real estate market? I have been witnessing more buyer activity in our market which coincides with when I thought the market would be turning. Although I am sure I am right, (oh yeah!), I am still a bit reluctant to say that the good times in real estate are back with us. What I can say is that buyers better hurray up as it will be a seller's market shortly!

real estate: More activity in the marketplace - 06/26/09 10:20 PM
Looking back over the past couple of weeks, it is evident that there are more lookers in my market. I have had multiple showings of my listings the past two weeks and even have someone coming back a second time tomorrow to one of my listings. I certainly hope this isn't a momentary blip. What's happening where you are?

real estate: My (new) ActiveRain Blog - 06/12/09 06:52 PM
I have just initiated a new blog in order to reach as many of my friends, customers and clients to keep them appraised of what's happening in my area. 
 
The good news is: There are some escrows happening! I'm hopeful that my original forecast of the bottom happening this summer will become a reality. It sure seems that way right now. 
 
I want to bring to everyone's attention a great new event for our Mountain Empire: The Mountain Empire Rotary Club is orchestrating a weekend of events centered around the vineyards of Elgin. Please visit the event website, www.mountainempirewinanddine.com, … (1 comments)
