New style of ceiling fans for Scottsdale homes for sale - 02/03/12 06:52 PM
While showing properties to buyers today, we entered into the garage and found a new style of ceiling fan. Do you think this trend will catch on?
Despite this new style of ceiling fan, of the 5 houses for sale in Scottsdale which we toured today, 4 went to contract in just 5 days - before we could even get home to write our contract. This is typical for homes for sale in Scottsdale. Our inventory is very low and those homes which are priced right are moving very quickly.
Maybe NOW is the time … (14 comments)

PHOENIX OPEN WEATHER FORECAST
If you're planning on attending "the greatest show on grass", better known as the WM Phoenix Open in the next couple of days, you're in luck - our typical wonderful weather.
After you've enjoyed watching the Phoenix Open, if you've thought about buying a second home here in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, give me a call or drop me a line. I moved here 14 years ago when I got tired of shoveling snow in the Chicago area and you may feel the same way.
