My wife Sheila and I have been in real estate for quite a long time, and we've participated in many facets of the real estate world. We are realtors, we've flipped and remodeled properties, bought and sold land, and worn a lot of real estate hats.

mesa arizona homes for sale: Mortgage Rates and Mesa AZ Homes For sale-Mesa Arizona Homes For sale
- 02/09/13 04:28 AM
The other day I was having a conversation about home prices and interest rates with one of our preferred lenders that we use here at The Pulford Team. Noting that Interest rates had ticked up recently, I asked his opinion on where he thought we were in the rate cycle. Do recent rate movements mean that the rate rocket is set to take off? Should buyers jump in now? His response was that there’s really no real reason for buyers to panic…yet. Rates were at the exact same level just six months ago in August of 2012 and they are still much better than they were one year ago today. While the trend … (0 comments)

Mesa Arizona has many fine residential communities offering something for everyone.

I may have mentioned in some of my past blog posts that I'm originally from northern Minnesota, and that Sheila was raised in Colorado. Dreams of a white Christmas were usually granted in those areas, and if there was no fresh snow, it was because it was too cold to snow! Friends and relatives would come for Christmas dinner, and after unbundling themselves from layers of jackets and sweaters, would go stand in front of the fireplace to warm up while exclaiming how beautiful the snow was. The conversation would then turn to talk of the outside temperature, and everbody agreed(as all … (0 comments)
