phoenix: Phoenix Metro - Real Estate Reports and Economic Forecasts - 05/06/08 05:56 PM
Recently, one of my neighbors asked for my perspective on the Phoenix area real estate market. He's has a strong economics background, so I knew that he'd want more than just my perspective and experience, so I shared the following three web sites with him.
If you are into historical reports, market trend, and forecasting, I think you might really enjoy them.
R.L. Brown - housing reports, market analysis, and forecasts Elliott D. Polack & Company - recent speeches from this site are a quick and easy way to get a snapshot view of what going on. ASU Polytechnic Realty Studies - real estate studies for various aspects of the housing industry … (0 comments)

phoenix: What's the Phoenix Economy look like today? - 10/20/07 10:48 AM
Elliott D. Pollack and Company provides some of the most extensive and easily understandable economic data for Arizona and the Phoenix metropolitan area. Some day, I'd like to hear the dialog that accompanies their comprehensive PowerPoint presentations. I just reviewed the latest CEO/CFO presentation posted on their web site, and find that it's a message of subdued (long-term) optimism. I strongly encourage you to go to the original presentation and go through the charts. The PowerPoint reports read very quickly and paint a comprehensive picture of where we stand as a state and as a metropolitan area.
From a U.S. perspective, job growth, business spending, and low interest … (0 comments)

phoenix: Getting Ready for Winter - Scottsdale, Arizona Style! - 10/04/07 12:44 PM
I was reading Barbara Mulcahy's Monthly Home Maintenance Tips, and realized I was grinning. I guess it comes from too many 110 degree days this past summer and feeling a little giddy. Sometimes the emotions of autumn in Arizona are akin to those felt in the spring when living in a cold climate. Rebirth!
Here's how we are getting ready for winter, now that temperatures have finally dipped under 100 degrees.
Wipe down patio furniture and start using it now that it's cool enough to venture outside. Clean BBQ and fire it up for regular outdoor grilling.Find bike, roller blades, skateboard,.... Clean up and start using … (2 comments)

phoenix: Phoenix Downtown Growth Continues - 09/21/07 05:38 PM
I wrote about the Scottsdale downtown revitalization efforts yesterday, and then discovered some additional info about the City of Phoenix. While Scottsdale has been tracking a $3+ billion dollar investment in its downtown projects in the past four years, it's not the only local municipality to garner heavy investment into its downtown areas. From the late 1980's through 2005, the City of Phoenix acquired only $3 billion dollars in public and private investment for its downtown. With the development of the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, the new downtown ASU campus, the U of A Medical School, the coming light rail system, and a myriad of other interests, downtown Phoenix will benefit … (2 comments)

phoenix: Phoenix Arizona Real Estate Development 1905-2007 - 09/02/07 08:58 AM
I found this interesting slide show demo of subdivision growth in the metropolitan area, that covers the year 1905 through 2007. Whether you grew up in the "Valley of the Sun", just moved here, or are thinking about it, it's educational to see the real estate growth spurts and where they've occurred, especially in the past 35 years.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved the lowest overall county-controlled property tax rate in the last 28 years.
