Hi,

Some numbers for new home sales in the Phoenix area were released and show that for the 3rd straight month housing permits were down.  Despite this, permits are still 5.6 percent above last years record pace.  The slow down is attributed to many factors including summer rains, and material and labor shortages which caused builders to ration lots.  This is all actually considered a good thing, as the market settles gradually back into a more normal pace.  Have a great weekend and safe trick or treating on Monday!

Hello....

The October issue of America West Airline's in-flight magazine featured the city of Mesa.  It was a terrific review of the 40th largest city in the nation (and to think, we Phoenicians consider just a SUBURB of Phoenix!), mentioning the new Arts Center, upcoming shopping centers, and top employers (Boeing, GM, TRW, Banner Health System....).  It touches on the fantastic golf courses - there are 40 courses within half an hour of downtown Mesa!  Of course, Mesa also hosts the Chicago Cubs every year for Spring Training! 

If you are considering a move to Mesa - or anywhere in the Phoenix Metro Area - please contact

Good evening...

Just a quick little teaser - by the end of the weekend, we will have another home listed in San Tan Heights!  It is a spacious 2-story home, not quite 2 years old, with a pool!  It's on a big 65' x 124' lot that backs to a wash AND the San Tan Mountain range!  We're very excited about listing and SELLING this home!

If you would like more details on this property, please contact us at info@weareazrealestate.com.

Hello all,

With all the media coverage on the Katrina disaster, it is easy to think that the damage caused by Wilma in Florida wasn't that bad.  No, an entire city was not under water to it's roof tops, but there was mass destruction in Wilma's path.  So, please don't forget that there are still many people that suffered in this latest catastrophe.  Keep your hearts open for all who are suffering throught this difficult time.

Hi to all....

We came across a condo conversion project recently that IS ALLOWING INVESTORS TO PURCHASE!  As you may know, with the stellar market in the Phoenix area, nearly all new-builds and condo conversion projects restrict sales to owner-occupants or MAYBE second home owners. 

This particular project is in Tempe, close to ASU, the 101, 202 and I-60 freeways - you really can't beat the location!  It's maybe 10 minutes to both the airport and Intel, as well.  It will have a community center, gym, pool...all totally remodeled.

There are a limited number of units flagged for investors - these

Hello again...

We were referred to a great website recently - www.taxloopholes.com - by Diane Kennedy.  There is phenominal information regarding tax loopholes available to homeowners, as well as business owners.  While we always advise to seek personal tax counsel, this site can give you ideas on topics to discuss with your tax professional.  Check it out when you get a chance!

Hi, Welcome to the weekend.  One of the leading indicators of continued strong growth for any area is job growth.  With all the talk of rising interest rates, and how it will affect the market, it is good to continue to see all the positive indicators for the Phoenix market.  Not only is Google looking to open a regional office, as mentioned yesterday, but Metro Phoenix wa just named the #1 large metro area and Arizona is the #1 state for new businesses and entrepreneurs.  The nonpartisan National Research Council ranked regions on their record for creating new businesses and for adding employees to existing companies over the past 14 years. 

Great news for the city of Phoenix - Internet giant Google is coming to town!

4 Valley cities are currently the frontrunners to land a 100,000 to 200,000 sq ft facility, bringing in roughly 600 high-tech jobs to the chosen city!  The most-likely candidates are Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and Chandler. 

Phoenix metro was chosen based on the area's labor pool, educational institutions and quality of life.Once again, major corporations continue to see the growth potential in the Phoenix area!
