realty: Animals of the MLS - 08/26/16 11:24 PM
This week's edition of Animals of the MLS brings us a happy hound eager to be a part of the photo shoot going on in their home. The moment this agent walked through the front door I can only imagine this curious canine walking from room to room following along side every step of the way. The friendly demeanor and posture of this four-legged friend would put most people immediately at ease and the agent probably spent many moments side tracked on the task at hand to stop and give some attention and plenty of belly rubs along the way.  This picture shoot most … (13 comments)

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.

realty: Animals of the MLS - 08/13/16 01:16 AM
This week's edition of Animals of the MLS brings us an older but curious canine who just wants in on a piece of the action. Our furry friend is definitely showing their age so for them to travel all the way over to where this agent is taking photos just goes to show how much of a social creature they really are. The gray whiskers around it's face and nose are clear indications that their best and most playful years are most likely behind them, however, I'm sure they still find plenty of time to run, play, and explore both inside and … (13 comments)

realty: Animals of the MLS - 08/06/16 02:24 AM
Do you ever get the feeling like you're being watched? We have a lurking hound in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. How sad does our furry friend look peering from the outside longing to be a part of the activity going on? It makes you want to walk right over to that sliding glass door and let him in. You can imagine his excitement if the agent taking these photos would have ventured over towards him. You can bet his tail would have been wagging and he would have been jumping with enthusiasm hoping he was about to invited back in … (14 comments)

Real estate market data for Gilbert, AZ provided by Nicole Doty of  Zion Realty.
 
We've got a little bit of a mixed bag of results from July's housing numbers here in Gilbert, Arizona. On some accounts it looks like the busy Summer buying season is here and in full swing already.

The average Active median list price for a home in Gilbert for the month of July 2016 was $341,250 which is almost a $9,000 decrease from the previous month. Sold home values experienced a … (5 comments)

realty: Animals of the MLS - 07/30/16 01:59 AM
We have a super happy hound in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. This little pug appears to be up for anything as he follows this real estate agent around his property to give a personal guided tour. I'm sure he's showing her all the great spots to lie down in the shady grass and pointing out the best places in the yard to run around and bark at the sound of passing cars and neighbors. If this agent played their cards right, I just bet he even shared with them a few secret spots where he's hidden toys and buried … (13 comments)

realty: Infill lots & Raw Land for Sale in Gilbert, AZ - Update June '16 - 07/28/16 12:13 AM

Purchasing land can seem like a monumental task to those who have never ventured down that road. There are many different laws and regulations that accompany land transactions that you never have to deal with or even think about when buying a traditional home. A few questions that you need to first consider are whether or not you want to buy a plot of land in an already subdivided location or would you rather purchase your parcel far away from the city limits? 
What is the difference between an infill lot and raw land? An infill lot is a parcel of land that is located in an … (3 comments)

realty: The Most Expensive Home sold in Arizona last week - 7/26/16 - 07/26/16 12:26 AM
The most expensive home sold in Arizona last week looks like it belongs in an enchanted forest in a Disney childrens movie. Built in 2015 this European manor is captivating and beautiful. The exterior grounds beckon deer and woodland creatures to lay down in the shade underneath the mature trees and relax in the lucious green grass. You'd half assume a babbling brook to be running along side of this property. Not at all what you would expect given it's Arizona desert location. A modest sized pool, entertainment patios, and an outdoor fireplace are about the only exterior features that were designed in to this property. … (6 comments)

realty: Animals of the MLS - 07/23/16 12:57 AM
We have an exhausted feline friend in this week's edition of Animals of the MLS. I don't think a herd of stampeding buffalo could get this kitty to move from it's napping spot. However, with all of that comfortable looking furniture in the room why they would choose to lounge on the ground is a question to consider. Unless this pet has been banned from reclining on the household sofa there are much more comfortable places to sleep.  
Even as this kitty is clearly docile and doesn't feel the need to run away at the sight of a stranger taking photos of … (14 comments)
