Well, since we are closing in on another wonderful day of celebration of our independence
and the birth of freedom for our country, we wish all of you the best for this 4th of July,
2008.

Yes, here came the monsoon rains around the 27th of June.  In our seven years in the greater
Green Valley area this is the earliest the moisture has come in 7 years.  As June is our hottest
month, it is a great relief when the monsoons blow in and drop our summer temps about 15 to
20 degrees.  This happens from about July 4th to the first week in September....with spectacular
static lightning storms that can flash interesting patterns across the sky.  Laura loves to have
some refreshments on the front porch and watch the show, it is fascinating. 

Now with a little magic moisture from the rains, the whole valley has greened up, it is quite
a beautiful sight to behold.  When we think of the market in Green Valley, AZ it is finally getting to a place
from which we can begin to build momentum. It will probably be a slow but steady recovery if
the rest of the economy is handled with care.  From January 1 of this year to date, we have
had 491 home sales.  The home inventory shows 946 homes available as compared to around 1100
homes available during earlier periods this year. Our normal range for inventory of homes had been from about 675-750.  That is a very good sign.  Last year, from January 1 of 2007 to July 2 of 2007 we had 622 sales.  A dip this year but a good beginning for a nice slow steady recovery.

We have a full slate of activities available here in Green Valley,  as well as the opportunity to visit
some smaller interesting towns to visit like Tombstone... the town too tough to die,
or Bisbee...a very interesting town with a copper mine to tour and great restaurants, not to
forget Patagonia, an oasis in southern Arizona,.. Tubac, where art and history meet or
Sonoita.....with the rodeo, oaks and pinon pines.  We hope you will discover our website:
www.greenvalleydream.com and look around. Then, if you have any questions on any parcel,
feel free to give us a call at (520) 904-1690.

Again, Happy 4th of July to you and your family!!!
