real estate: What are the professional real estate investors buying in Arizona - 10/26/09 10:26 PM
I am simply trying to gather a variety of opinions and strategies from professional real estate investors and agents who represent them. I am trying to gather information from a variety of sources for an artilce on real estate investing. Some of the questions I am trying to collect opinion on are:
Do you believe the rental market is too saturated? Are vacancy rates affecting your business plan? Are flips off the table at this time? Where do you see potential for the investor in 2010? Will the lending rules on Condos make them a poor investment? Are you making offers … (0 comments)

real estate: CATS, REAL ESTATE & THE FUTURE - 07/01/08 05:57 PM
I have a couple of pets. They teach me a lot... especially Rosie the Cat. What she believes to be true is true for her and she is incredibly reluctant to change. 5:30 PM is her night-time feeding time. Not 5:40 or 6:00... 5:30!!  I think people can be like that.
During the real estate frenzies of 2004-mid 2005 we sat awestruck at how the value of our homes increased. We thought people were nuts. Homes that sold for $400,000 in 2003 were fetching over $700,000 in May of 2005. Then the cat thing happened. We believed our homes were really … (1 comments)

I like it when the media puts out good, constructive information. Luke Mullins with US News & World Report had a nice piece yesterday providing a number of tips for the person trying to sell a home in a slow market. Click here to see the article.

1) Make the necessary repairs. There is so much competition out there that buyers are choosing well maintained homes over ones with lots of repair needs.
2) Price your home right. This is a tough one for a lot of home sellers at this time. There … (0 comments)

real estate: Good Real Estate News - 12/13/07 03:30 PM
The sales numbers for November are in and we, The Urban Team, are feeling optimistic. Of course, optimism is our brand. How could we not be optimistic, we live and work in one of the most vibrant cities in America?
The sales stats (residential real estate) for November are encouraging. First, understand that sales stats actually reflect the market activity from 4-6 weeks prior. The ARMLS sales stats for November largely reflect the homes that went under contract from mid September to mid-to-late October.
With that bit of housekeeping in mind, let’s look at the possible good news here. We … (0 comments)

real estate: Industry SPAM... let's stop it. - 12/07/07 12:03 PM
Are you as fed up with industry SPAM as I am? Yes, the SPAM filters stop some of it, but we may be able to do more as a united group.
I propose we unite and ban those industry members and other agents who SPAM us. By sending intense feedback to these people denouncing their disregard for our time and letting them know we have put them on a list of "Never TO Be Used" vendors they might get the idea. What do you think?
To start things off... I got an email without a "remove" option from
