Maricopa County Arizona Market Update Ocotber 15, 2011
The tides are turning, once again.  In the past week, even those who I speak with that have been most pessimistic about our market have expressed optimism for the Phoenix market in the near future.
I have mentioned many times those dark, early mornings in December of 2007 and early 2008 when I would hold my breath, covering my eyes and peeking through my fingers, as though watching a horror film, while I reviewed the absorption rate in our market, hoping to see us inch over the 5% mark.
Even Paradise Valley’s absorption … (0 comments)

luxury real estate: Her Secret in Downtown Phoenix - 08/24/11 02:52 PM
 
Her Secret Is Patience. A quote from the American philosopher and essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson is actualized in Janet Echelman's masterpiece. Her Secret Is Patience is a public art sculpture cleverly placed in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, between 1st and Central avenues along with Phoenix real estate. The centerpiece serves, as some would say, the heart of the city.
Janet Echelman's creation was a joint collaboration between her and a team of award-winning engineers, architects, planners and fabricators. Her interpretation is made to life by a massive netting, 100 ft tall with three support poles 102 ft., 125 ft. and 145 ft. … (0 comments)

You don't need to be a history fanatic to appreciate the beauty and richness of centuries-old structures that exist among the modern-day life we are all so used to. Centuries ago, dozens of Hohokam Villages spread throughout what we now know as the dynamic city of Phoenix, Arizona.

For those who are not quite sure who the Hohokam are, well, let me just shed a little light on that matter. The Hohokam were said to be early inhabitants of the American Southwest, specifically in the Sonoran Desert.

Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction - Information For Tax Time 
With tax season in full swing and April 15th just over a month away, it is time once again to talk about one of those items that we hear about every year, but bears repeating.

Arizona Maracopa County Market Update 10.29.2010
We keep hearing about how "bad" the market is, and how the expiration of the tax credit crippled sales, but if you consider that a balanced market is typically considered to be 5.5 months of inventory with a seller's market being anything below and a buyer's market being anything above, our market looks pretty good.
Not long ago, Paradise Valley had a 19 month supply of inventory. If you look below, you can see that there has been dramatic improvement.
