Timing matters in real estate—but not the way most people think. Here’s when Arizona buyers and sellers get the best results.Many believe spring is the only time to buy or sell a home, but Arizona’s unique climate changes that rule. In fact, fall and winter often bring more serious buyers and less competition. Sellers benefit from motivated purchasers, and buyers find better deals on East Valley homes when inventory dips.The key is preparation, not season. When your home is priced right, staged well, and marketed strategically, it will sell in any month. Explore the latest market timing insights to plan your next move.

When buying property in Arizona, the most important decision isn’t granite vs. quartz—it’s location. Proximity to schools, highways, and amenities can dramatically affect long-term value.I help clients evaluate neighborhoods based on both lifestyle and potential appreciation. Whether you’re drawn to Chandler’s urban energy or Queen Creek’s open land, I’ll show you Arizona communities with strong resale value and growth potential.For a visual tour of East Valley neighborhoods, check out my community spotlight videos to see what makes each area unique.#LocationMatters #ArizonaRealEstate #EastValleyHomes #CommunitySpotlight #ChrisDunhamRealtor location value, East Valley real estate, neighborhood growth, Arizona housing market, resale potential

Before buying your next home, make sure you’re financially prepared beyond the down payment. Closing costs, inspections, appraisals, and even moving fees can surprise first-time buyers. On average, closing costs run 2–3% of the purchase price.I always walk my clients through a transparent cost breakdown before we start looking. You can explore affordable home options in Arizona to match your budget and financial comfort.Learn which buyer programs save you money and how to plan effectively.

When selling your home, emotion is natural. Memories, milestones, and nostalgia all play a role—but letting feelings guide decisions can cost you.Rejecting a fair offer because it “feels too low” or holding out for a number based on pride can stall your sale.I help sellers focus on market data, not emotion. We evaluate comparable homes, demand trends, and buyer feedback to make smart moves. Check local home value comparisons before making a decision rooted in feeling. For real examples of emotional vs. data-driven selling reach out today, lets sit down and discuss your goals and reasons for selling, 602-321-6188#SellerTips #RealEstateMindset #ArizonaRealtor #HomeSellingStrategy #ChrisDunhamRealtor seller psychology, home selling mistakes, emotional decisions, home value data, real estat...

I read an interesting article lately in Realtor Magazine about wellness and why it matters in real estate.In  recently study by America at Home involving 6000 consumers nationally, health and connections  topped the list as a #1 motivator for buyers.  So why does it matter?  According to Global Wellness Institute, 80-90% of health outcomes are NOT genetics. Well-designed living spaces that prioritize elements like clean air and water,  natural light, safe streets, sustainability, and opportunities for social connection directly contribute to both longevity and well-being.  Beyond just promoting greater physical activity,  communities that prioritize wellness also report lower rates of chronic disease and significantly higher levels of satisfaction.  Digging deeper, I learned that it's n...

When your listing attracts several buyers, the goal isn’t just to pick the highest bidder—it’s to choose the strongest offer. During selling your home, I review not only price but financing type, contingencies, and timelines.A cash offer might close faster, but a conventional loan with flexible terms could be smarter.Understanding the full picture means fewer surprises later. My strategy helps sellers stay in control and maintain peace of mind during the process. Learn how to evaluate competing bids effectively and select the best buyer for your home. To see this in action, watch my real estate negotiation tips where I walk through real offers and outcomes.#MultipleOffers #SellerStrategy #ArizonaRealEstate #ChrisDunhamRealtor #HomeSellingTips multiple offers, real estate negotiations, o...

When listing your property, accurate pricing can make or break your sale. Overprice, and your home lingers on the market. Underprice, and you risk leaving profit behind. I analyze comparable sales, active listings, and market velocity to identify the sweet spot.Pricing is also emotional—many sellers attach sentimental value that buyers can’t quantify. I help balance data and emotion to achieve results. Explore market activity in your neighborhood and see how similar homes are performing today.Want to understand what affects your home’s value? My detailed guides and video walkthroughs explain every factor, from upgrades to location.#HomePricing #ArizonaRealtor #HomeValue #RealEstateTips #ChrisDunhamRealtor  home pricing strategy, real estate comps, Chandler home sales, market trends, sel...

Folks seem to be tired of the cold winters and constant talk of global warming. How do we know this?
