tucson real esate: I Love Open Houses and Tucson Real Estate
- 03/13/11 11:03 AM
When I run out of homes to sell, which happens more often than I like, I hold Open Houses for other Agents. The fun of it is picking which houses to hold open. Which transalates to seeing some really nice home. Buyers aren't the only ones who get to shop around. Today's Open House is at 2001 S Dimond D. Backed up to the Tucson Mountain Reserve amongst other beautiful southwestern style homes. The people in the neighborhood have been very friendly. What I really like is the mountain views with all the saguaros. Tucson is known for its sahuaro cacti. It … (3 comments)

tucson real esate: Tucson vs Phoenix Real Estate
- 03/01/11 06:03 AM
When I see the national news about real estate in Arizona, Phoenix is always mentioned and Tucson not. There are big differences between the two markets. Phoenix is much larger than Tucson. The frenzy in the housing market was much larger there. The burst from the bubble is larger in Phoenix. Tucson, like many cities, suffered from the bad decisions of the large banks, lenders, and buyers who shouldn't have bought when they did for as much as they did. The number of foreclosures and short sales in Tucson are much smaller than Phoenix. Take short sales, in Tucson as of … (2 comments)

- 02/27/11 02:15 PM
In his book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R Covey talks about habit number 7, Sharpen the Saw. Liking it to a Lumber Jack who refuses to sharpen the saw because it is taking him so long to cut through a tree and he doesn't have time to sharpen the saw. Training for REALTORS® is the same. We get so busy working we don't stop to sharpen our marketing, skills and strategy. Which is a lead into what I learned this week concerning websites. What is the purpose of a website? To the REALTOR® its Internet presence. But is … (3 comments)

There is a lot of advice on how to sell a home. Yet there are numerous ways that Sellers prevent the sale of their home. Four years ago I wrote a blog about how not to sell your. Here's a refreshed versions. Understanding what hurts the sale of a home will help in making a sale. Who cares about curb appeal, that's for the weak hearted.

tucson real esate: Social Benefits of Home Ownership - Final Part
- 02/17/11 12:42 AM
Health is an unforeseen benefit of home-ownership. Directly from the NAR Study... "Homeowners are happier and healthier than non-owners. But again, it would be incorrect to simply look at the correlation between home-ownership and health outcomes to draw conclusions since home-ownership is also correlated with such factors as income and education levels. And surely, higher income and education are associated with better health. Nonetheless, there are a few academic studies that provide evidence of the positive impact of home-ownership on health even after controlling for factors like income and education.

Internet Real Estate BuyingAnyone you talk to will tell you that a vast majority of home buyers start searching for a home on the Internet.

- 09/09/07 02:58 AM
Located in the heart of beautiful Oro Valley is the established community of Canada Hills. This community covers nearly a square mile from Lambert to Naranja, and La Canada to Cholla. Many homes in Canada Hills line the El Con Quistador golf course. A fun course to play. In The Secret About Golf Property In Tucson, I mentioned Canada Hills.
