Residents of San Diego Califonria 340 miles to the west of the Phoenix Arizona Metro call Arizonans vacationing on the Pacific Ocean in the middle the Summer Desert Heat "Zonies" as they notice all of the Arizona license plates June through August.

How would you describe this house accurately and make it sound appealing?

phoenix mls: How LOW Will They GO...Mortgage Rates That Is - 05/26/20 08:01 PM
How Looooow will they go? When speaking of mortgage rates they are near record lows right now but they may be poised to go even lower this year.
Clare Trapasso of Realtor.com wrote on May 21, 2020, "One of the few silver linings for real estate in the middle of this devastating coronavirus pandemic has been record-low mortgage interest rates. And housing experts predict those ultralow rates will likely fall even further—venturing into the unprecedented 2% range. That could give the flagging housing market—deeply hampered by state and local lockdowns, uncertainty about COVID-19, and a sputtering economy—a much needed boost.
