Is It Getting More Affordable To Buy a Home?Over the past year or so, a lot of people have been talking about how tough it is to buy a home. And while there’s no arguing affordability is still tight, there are signs it’s starting to get a bit better and may improve even more throughout the year. Elijah de la Campa, Senior Economist at Redfin, says:“We’re slowly climbing our way out of an affordability hole, but we have a long way to go. Rates have come down from their peak and are expected to fall again by the end of the year, which should make homebuying a little more affordable and incentivize buyers to come off the sidelines.”1. Mortgage RatesMortgage rates have been volatile this year – bouncing around in the upper 6% to low 7% range. That’s still quite a bit higher than where they ...

I could be whats called an Italian food snob. I have been fortunate enough to visit Italy three times in my life and if you haven't been able to go yourself, I highly Suggest it. That being said, I always find it hard to find real genuine Italian food. Whether it be here in Scottsdale or anywhere I visit in the states. A few years ago I was told about a little Italian Restaurant in a strip mall in Central Phoenix. As you can imagine I was a skeptical. But once entering the Marcellinos restaurant and meeting the owners (Chef Marcellino and Sima Verzino from Siciliy) I knew I was in for something special. Marcellinos now will always be a family favorite and by my top recommendation in Scottsdale (but be prepared, this amazing food is not cheap). A few months ago, owners Marcellino and Sim...

In October 2010, Parents Magazine ranked Scottsdale Arizona as the Number one City for babies. Quoted from Parents Magazine: This western town is far from wild. Scottsdale's stellar safety record helped earn it the #1 spot on our list. "It's common to see moms pushing strollers around the neighborhoods, even at night," says police chief Alan Rodbell. "Our crime rate is the lowest it's ever been -- which is well below the national average -- so families can enjoy the outdoors." Scottsdale has plenty of recreation space too, with 67 miles of paved trails and 105 miles of bike lanes. There are 22 playgrounds with baby swings, and because of the warm-year-round climate, many also include pop-up fountains. "Outsiders think of Scottsdale as a retirement community, but there are a good number ...

Scottsdale Arizona has over 800 restaurants serving the local clientele and tourists alike. The West’s Most Western Town has evolved into a dining Mecca for national chains, local restaurateurs, world-class resorts and internationally recognized chefs. What was once a handful of restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale just a short decade ago has turned into an overwhelming number of choices. With all the choices out there I wanted to suggest a few spots that are personal favorites. It is impossible for me to try them all, so if you find something not listed Suggestions are always welcome!

I was talking with fellow Activerain Member Leolinda Bowers  the other night about different things, and I was reminded of how things are so different in real estate in 2011.   I bought my first townhome at the age of 22 in the Chicago area.  Back then, at the ripe old age of 22, I had to take title as a "spinster" because that's how single women holding title to real estate had to take title.   During the buying process, the seller was shocked that a young, single women could buy a house by herself.  After moving into the house, the doorbell rang one day and a man asked me if I was the former homeowner's "girlfriend."    I politely explained, no, I'm the new homeowner.  He just backed away apologizing.   My first mortgage was a one year ARM (they were a "new" loan on the market) and I ...
