Well, it's mid October and the weather man (person) says we could hit 100 degrees here in Tempe this weekend. This is the same weather channel where I see a list of snow showers and 30 degree temperatures in places like Minnesota. It is no secret that we have some amazing weather from November to oh, about May... The population should begin to swell around here any time now. This reminds me of some of the great options for people that we affectionately call "snowbirds." You know who you are...you can't take the heat but know where to fly South for the winter.

While there are MANY options available here, I thought I'd point out a couple for our winter visitors.

How about a great "furnished condo" in Sunland Village East?

This GORGEOUS Laguna 12 model has been well maintained and is being sold furnished! Seriously, all you have to do is bring a toothbrush and a desire to have some fun in the Arizona sun. The home has a very open and functional floor plan, lots of nice tile, tons of cabinet and storage space, one car garage and a nice patio that you can actually enjoy any time of day. What a perfect opportunity for ''winter visitors'' to take advantage of the great lifestyle offered by Sunland Village East ( a 55 plus community ).  Golf, tennis, clubhouse, tons of activities, etc. Make sure and look at the video! For just $135,000 it is a lifestyle you can truly enjoy.

Heck, when it gets hot, go back "home!" That's what a LOT of people do around here...

Not sure about where you want to spend all of your winters? You can rent something furnished, as well! Check out this GORGEOUS Scottsdale condo for just $1400.00 per month (seasonal rents- Long term rental rate is just $1,100 per month.) Probably gonna be a heck of a lot cheaper than one of the fancy resorts we have. This gorgeous 2bedroom 2 bath FURNISHED condo is spotless! Beautifully decorated, completely re-modeled and in a location that can't be beat. The unit has granite counters, stainless appliances, beautifully tiled floors, beautiful furniture and decor and is absolutely immaculate! The community boasts 2 pools, a spa, a dog park, well manicured grounds and a GREAT South Scottsdale location. Stay minutes from Old Town, the airport, Tempe Marketplace, Mill Avenue, Scottsdale Fashion Square, restaurants, shops, freeways, jobs, etc! There is even a nearby bus stop and a Trolley system to take you to Old Town Scottsdale! ** Take a look, it's gorgeous!**

Here, you can search for homes in the Valley of the Sun. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call!
