Every home owner wants to know how much their property is worth. Prices have long since stabilized for the most part here in Arizona and the dramatic shifts in upward and downward pricing have largely ceased. Bidding wars are few and far between and are only reserved for those most sought after locations around the Valley where properties rarely come available. But what can a home owner expect to get from their Gilbert, Arizona home? The Sold to List ratio is a comparison between the price … (2 comments)
gilbert: Animals of the MLS
- 03/19/16 03:51 AM
We have a curious kitty in this weeks edition of Animals of the MLS. This tabby just couldn't help but check out all the action around the agent snapping photos of their home. I bet they especially wanted to keep an eye out to make sure their cat house in the corner was not messed with by this picture taking stranger. I imagine many a lazy afternoon is spent perched high above the floor sleeping the day away in their specially made kitty clubhouse. It's also situated right by a window so our four-legged friend can keep an eye out on the … (24 comments)

- 03/17/16 01:40 AM
It's hard to believe that Gilbert, Arizona was once known as the "Hay shipping Capital of the World." Since the mid-90's Gilbert has experienced a growth explosion not only in population but also in business and commerce. The famous Gilbert railroad tracks that cut straight through the entire Town are still there and plenty of rail shipments find their way through the hustle and bustle of sprawling subdivisions, however, Gilbert is far from the sleepy farm town it used to be. Gilbert, Arizona is now the 4th largest Town in the entire State of Arizona. Encompassing just 72.6 square miles Gilbert has transformed itself from … (10 comments)

gilbert: Animals of the MLS
- 03/11/16 07:06 AM
This week's featured pet in Animals of the MLS seems a bit surprised to find themselves in a photo shoot. It's as if they stumbled in to the room freshly awakened from their afternoon nap only to find a stranger with a camera snapping pictures of their domicile. They seem caught between wanting to go lay back down and the desire to go sniff out the unfamiliar guest. The look on this furry friend's face could also be conveying the message "Wait, you didn't get my good side. Let me turn around so you can take the picture again." It's also a rare treat to have … (25 comments)

Your neighborhood Home Owners Association will also establish the rules and laws in regards to the appearance of front yards throughout the community which will maintain the integrity and manicured look of the entire subdivision. Did your neighbor share with you their desire to paint the exterior of their home a bright yellow? Well … (10 comments)

gilbert: Charlie Chaplin once lost his own look-alike contest
- 03/08/16 05:32 AM
Younger generations may not be familiar with the slapstick comedian, silent film star, and Hollywood icon Charlie Chaplin but his legend is certainly solidified in the hearts and minds of film junkies and history lovers. Before Charlie hit the big-time he cut his teeth as a young performer by clog dancing at the age of 10, and landing his first acting job as a pageboy in a stage production of Sherlock Holmes by the time he was 12. In 1975, Charlie heard news of an establishment holding a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest so he decided to secretly enter the challenge. He came in … (28 comments)

We've had mostly pets of the canine persuasion in Animals of the MLS lately, but this week shows us a friendly feline who isn't afraid to be front and center. Cats can be hit and miss when it comes to entering in to a property where they dwell. You have the neighborly variety that will run up to greet you and perhaps rub against your legs a few times in an attempt to coerce you in to scratching their head if only for a brief moment. Then you have the skittish types who will run away and hide as soon as they … (31 comments)
gilbert: What Girl Scout Cookies taught me about Business
- 03/01/16 06:18 AM
Who doesn't know about those bite-sized, irresistibly tasty treats called Girl Scout cookies? That's a rhetorical question of course. Everyone knows them and loves them. Whether you're a fan of the traditional Thin Mint or prefer the chocolate, coconut combination in Samoas each person has their favorite. Beginning in 1917 sales of Girl Scout cookies as a way to finance troop activities proved to be a prosperous endeavor. In the early 1920's they were sold for a mere ¢25 to ¢30 per dozen. Today, it's estimated that nearly 200 million boxes of cookies are sold each year. So how did Girl Scout cookies go from a … (82 comments)

What is the Absorption Rate when it comes to real estate? The Absorption Rate chart shows how long the current inventory of properties would last at the current rate of sales. If no new properties were added to the market, and sales continued at a steady pace, the Absorption rate indicates the number of months required to sell all the properties on the market. In a healthy real estate market this number should hover around a 3-Month average. As you can see the Gilbert, Arizona real estate market has been … (8 comments)
gilbert: Animals of the MLS

We've got two penned pooches on this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. Our four-legged friends don't seem to appreciate being locked up and confined to this backyard prison. I'm guessing on any normal day these two companions roam their territory free to terrorize any neighborhood tabby that happens to dare sit on their fence. I bet after many spirited games of tug-o-war they lounge around during the afternoon in the shade or inside on their owners favorite furniture. I'd venture to guess that the bigger dog lets the little one win every once in a while just to help his ego. Having two animals to … (27 comments)
