It's never too early to plan out what you're going to give Mom on Mother's Day. This year instead of candy, flowers, a spa visit, or something equally unmemorable, I suggest you drop a new Mesa Arizona house on good old Mom! Yep, that's right, a new house.

The weather is Mesa Arizona is awsome right now. Lots of sun, and just the right amount of heat. A wonderful combination to grow just about anything. I was at the local plant store picking up some spring flowers for our garden and pots, and as I was browsing about, I was reminded of how important curb appeal is to the successful sale of a home.

mesa arizona real estate agents: Mortgage Rates and Mesa AZ Homes For sale-Mesa Arizona Homes For sale - 02/09/13 04:28 AM

The other day I was having a conversation about home prices and interest rates with one of our preferred lenders that we use here at The Pulford Team. Noting that Interest rates had ticked up recently, I asked his opinion on where he thought we were in the rate cycle. Do recent rate movements mean that the rate rocket is set to take off? Should buyers jump in now? His response was that there’s really no real reason for  buyers to panic…yet. Rates were at the exact same level just six months ago in August of 2012 and they are still much better than they were one year ago today.  While the trend … (0 comments)

mesa arizona real estate agents: No Snow In Southeast Mesa Arizona Today! - 12/21/12 06:23 AM
I may have mentioned in some of my past blog posts that I'm originally from northern Minnesota, and that Sheila was raised in Colorado. Dreams of a white Christmas were usually granted in those areas, and if there was no fresh snow, it was because it was too cold to snow! Friends and relatives would come for Christmas dinner, and after unbundling themselves from layers of jackets and sweaters, would go stand in front of the fireplace to warm up while exclaiming how beautiful the snow was. The conversation would then turn to talk of the outside temperature, and everbody agreed(as all … (0 comments)
