phoenix real estate: Phoenix Farmers Market - 08/12/09 01:09 PM
Across the country, farmers markets help encourage local farming as well as reducing your carbon footprint. By purchasing fruits, vegetables and other wares from local vendors, less gas is consumed to bring these products to the marketplace and you get the absolute freshest of ingredients. Luckily, Phoenix has its very own farmers market that takes place every Saturday in the downtown area (corner of Central and McKinley) from 8am-1pm. It's absolutely FREE to gain admission to the market. Vendors from all over Arizona congregate at the Phoenix Public Market to sell fruits, vegetables, flowers, honey, chocolate, bread, roasted coffee and even

phoenix real estate: Phoenix Real Estate Foreclosure Filings - 05/13/09 07:33 PM
The new numbers reported by Realty Trac place Arizona in the fourth position for highest foreclosure filings. One in every 164 homeowners in Arizona received a foreclosure notice. These new numbers may seem to be in contrast to my last blog, Phoenix Real Estate on the Upswing, so let me explain. Last week's blog concerned the upswing in home sales, which still remains true. Also my blog ended by letting you know that we were not out of the woods yet. The economy and job loss will certainly take it's toll and contribute to the foreclosure market. When talking about foreclosures and the

phoenix real estate: Phoenix Real Estate on the Upswing - 05/06/09 10:09 AM
I am happy to report that the upswing in the Phoenix area has nothing to do with golf and lots to do with the current the real estate market, which has experienced an upswing of late. This is not to say everything is rosy. But, recent figures are definitely on the upwswing, which means some figures are down. * DataQuick Information reports that single-family home sales in the Phoenix area has increased 55.1%. * The number of homes for sale has steadily decreased since November of 2008, with 13,297 homes on the market (the highest number of homes in the

phoenix real estate: Things Are Looking Better in the Valley of the Sun - 04/15/09 06:16 PM
As President Obama stated this week, things are looking better...but there are still rough times ahead. That is not an exact quote, but it gives you the idea. That same sentiment is a reflection of the real estate market in the Phoenix, Valley of the Sun area. The stimulus plan to forestall foreclosures with loan refinancing and modifications will not be very helpful for most distressed homeowners in the Phoenix area. But, to do nothing is worse. If you are facing the possibility of foreclosure or are in the foreclosure process, do not assume that they will not work for you. You can

phoenix real estate: Phoenix Prices Fall, But It's All Good - 04/08/09 12:48 PM
Prices continued to fall in the Phoenix area. But, it is all good, folks. You may be asking what is good about declining property values. Well, the upside to this question is the blunt truth. As home prices become more affordable, home sales go up. We need to get to the bottom line so that the Phoenix (as in the legend) can rise again. For several years, Florida led the nation in foreclosures and falling prices. Florida is now experiencing multiple offers on properties available for sale. California home sales have jumped statewide by over 80% compared to last year. The pulse is

phoenix real estate: Some Positives in the Phoenix Marketplace - 08/20/08 11:48 AM
They say that patience is a virtue. Prices for Phoenix homes have been on the decline in recent months, creating an 8.97% increase in the number of single-family homes sold in July (compared to June) and a 33.86% increase from July 2007. Condominiums and townhomes have decreased in price as well, creating a 16.2% increase in sales compared to June 2008. Another leading indicator that the Phoenix real estate market may be starting a bit of a correction is that the DOM has decreased in just the last month. June's DOM for single-family homes and condos were both 127, while July's DOM for condos and
