Realtors are buying homes left and right in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.  Not just for investment but for their familes.  Why, because this is the best buyer's market I have seen in 34 years of selling Real Estate in Arizona!  It even took me by surprise.  Several of my associates have either moved up or downsized in the last 3 months.  The really neat part, is that interest rates are still very low.  That won't last forever.  In the 80s we had rates that were above 12%!  Most people don't remember that.  It could happen again.  Right now 30 year fixed is hovering around 6 1/2 percent.  With low rates like that and a dip in home prices (that won't last much longer either), it is the perfect time to buy. And Realtors know it!  Shhhhh, don't tell anybody, just go buy something!
