real estate: Prices raise for 4 months - 07/14/08 02:06 PM
If you listen to the same media (local and national) that I do, you might be surprised to hear that prices have actually been climbing. Most of the stories surround the existing housing crisis, Freedie Mae/Mac and very little about any good news.
For the most part, YES we do have … (0 comments)

real estate: Timing the Market or just paying more later! - 05/06/08 03:46 PM
OK, I had another client question when they should buy their new home so I thought it would be a good time to solicit opinions.  They do not have to sell a home so that puts them in a great position to purchase now while the inventory is high and prices … (0 comments)

real estate: Short Sales and Foreclosures - 04/15/08 02:54 PM
OK, what's going on with the market? Over the last few weeks I've noticed an increase in the number of homes selling here in Phoenix, Arizona. Does this signal the Phoenix market is changing or just a spring sale blitz?
I think the market is on it's way to making a come … (3 comments)

real estate: Charity, just a good reason to golf or both? - 04/09/08 01:11 PM
On Monday the 7th RE/MAX Integrity had their annual golf outing at Arrowhead Country Club in Glendale, Arizona.  Every year for the last 16 years they've had this outing and even in these tough times for agents over 94 golfers played. In the past they usually sell out around 140 golfers … (0 comments)

real estate: Credit Scores and Credit Repair Companies - 04/01/08 01:38 PM
As we know not all companies are created equal and the one you choose to help improve your score is very important. One thing I know for sure is most of us do not understand our scores or how they can be repaired. Recently I've formed an alliance with a company … (2 comments)

real estate: Are we turning a corner (in real estate)? - 03/26/08 03:54 PM
Ok, we all know that the media likes to take a subject (like the real estate industry) and beat it to death. Over the last year or so the only stories worth writing about were how the market is so bad, home prices are dropping, etc. Unfortunatley they had good reason … (3 comments)

real estate: New taxes vs amending the State Constitution? - 03/24/08 12:58 PM
Tough question but one we'll all need to consider soon. The state of Arizona (and many other states) has looked into taxing homeowners when they sell their home. The worst part is they will tax you based on the sales price not the equity gain on the home. So they tax … (0 comments)

real estate: Timing the Market - 03/11/08 04:25 PM
Timing the market....how many buyers are waiting for the market to bottom out?  My guess is there are a lot of people out there waiting to purchase their next home. They are unsure of when to buy - they don't want to buy now because they're afraid they will hear that prices continued … (1 comments)

real estate: Builders in North Peoria Arizona - 03/10/08 03:43 PM
As part of my ongoing pursuit to stay ahead of the game when it comes to new construction, Sunday was my day to visit builders in the Lake Pleasant/Happy Valley area. I visited several builders and was excited to hear that home traffic/sales are picking up.
DR Horton just opened a new … (0 comments)

real estate: Understanding your credit score - 03/10/08 03:40 PM
Do we really understand how our credit scores are figured? Some of us think if we have little to no credit that helps keep our scores high, some think having a lot of credit lines helps keep them high and some of us really don't understand what goes into a credit score. If you … (2 comments)
