arizona real estate: What You SEE is Not Always What You GET- AI and Real Estate - 01/19/24 06:02 PM
Sometimes a home for sale just needs a little help to get the attention of buyers, don't you think? (AI enhanced Architectural Concept Image DIY Team, Pixabay)
After all, a prototype architectural concept home from blueprints or even a vacant home may not speak to a buyer the way a furnished home can. Same way with the lighting. Aren't those fabulos outside dusk photos with purple skies and the lights streaming through the windows amazing?
Well how does one do that when the home is only a concept on a blueprint or the furniture is gone and the cost and timing for a … (34 comments)

arizona real estate: Name Your Own Home? Casa ___________? Mmmmmh - 01/10/24 12:14 PM
What would you NAME your OWN HOME? Many people do. They even name their cars, fishing poles, shot guns and other objects. Homes can be named after a characteristic, location, attribute of the land, family name or something the home reminds one of. Kind of a FUN IDEA don't you think?
For example how about CASA MOURISCA if your name was Mourisca?  (Photo: Simi Luft, Pixabay).
I have a friend that is a St. Louis Cardinals fan since childhood and he named his home REDBIRD RANCH.
Some famous homes, of course, have names as in these examples:

arizona real estate: Buy Home Date Rate and OWN When You Retire - 11/17/23 09:54 PM
It may be wise to Buy (Marry) the HOME and Date the RATE (Mortgage Rate). Then you will OWN your HOME when you RETIRE. You may have heard this term before, but it is valid.

arizona real estate: Would you Jump off TOP of a Telephone Pole? I Did! - 08/23/22 05:35 PM
OK OK. This may sound like a FISH STORY to you, but I jumped off the top of a telephone pole and lived to tell this story!
You may think I am nuts to even conceive and tell this story, but it TRUE. Yes, it involved a DARE to which I responded to. No, DARES are generally not a good idea but in this case it was pretty awesome!
Now....for the rest of the story....
It was in the Summer of the mid 1990s along the Pecos Rive in Sante Fe New Mexico.

Hey Lowrider Get a Little HIGHER! I am talking about mortgage rates and not classic automobiles here. Expect further increases. (Lowrider image Stocksnap from Pixabay)
