You can tell when it is Fall in Yuma, Arizona because the license plates start to change colors.  Michael W. Curtis Realty and Development and its partner realtors at Glen Curtis, Inc. have been "capturing" these "snowbirds" for fifty years.  The term "snowbird" refers to the winter visitor population which reaches well over 100,000 annually in Yuma.  These folks arrive from all over northern United States and Canada to enjoy the weather, activities and to visit Mexico for their "farmacias, tacos y margaritas".  The price of generic drugs in our border town of "Los Algodones" ("The Cottonwoods") is lower than the copays for most insurances.  Pedestrian border traffic to this little town numbers over 30,000 per day.

Capturing these "Birds" requires an active community for their rv's as well as housing communities for their active lifestyle.  Not just golf but walking, riding, hiking, swimming and workout facitillies are important.  Snowbirds sometimes buy "cash deals" but average over 50% down payment on their transactions.  This accounts for the miniscule rate of these properties become distressed.
