October sales #'s

November 28th, 2005
Welcome to the work week.  We hope you are back from a relaxing extended weekend.  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) released October numbers.  Sales of existing homes are down a seasonally adjusted 2.7%, a higher decrease than expected.  With this slowdown, the total number of homes on the market is reaching record levels which translates into longer days on the market to sell a home.

Despite this decrease in sales activity, prices continued to increase.  The median price for a home sold in October 2005 increased by 16.6% over October 2004.  Most builders in the Phoenix area are not holding lotteries or using

Scottsdale Redevelopment

November 27th, 2005
Good Sunday to you....

Yet another Scottsdale Redevelopment project is slated - this one is in central Scottsdale, within the Master-Planned community of McCormick Ranch.  They already have the Belcara Condo Conversion under way and for sale (info@weareazrealestate.com for details!) and now, they are redeveloping one of the shopping centers.  The site of the former Dale's Grocery store, Papa John's, and Tango Grill will be renovated to accomodate a new LA Fitness gym location.  The gym is slated to open in April '06. 

McCormick Ranch features apartments, condos, patio homes and single-family homes, all in a great location

Wireless Tech

November 26th, 2005
Hello,

We already know that the valley is a mecca for tech companies.  Well now, it can be for those who must have their laptop and roam.  The city of Chandler is expected to join Tempe in going wireless. All over!  All of Chandler's 63.3 square miles could join Tempe's over 40 square miles for over 100 square miles of wireless service.  Tempe will be completed soon, and will be the largest total area in the country providing wireless service, not just hot spots.  NeoReach Wireless has submitted plans to Chandler and was chosen by Tempe to install wireless antenae to include some free spots as well.

S Scottsdale Lowe's

November 25th, 2005
Hello to all....are you as stuffed as we are?

Yet another redevelopment project is slated for South Scottsdale - the current K Mart shopping center will be razed, and a new Lowe's Home Improvement Center will be built on that site.  There couldn't be a better spot for such a center, as the S Scottsdale area has undergone a major revitalization.  The ASU campus coming in at Scottsdale Rd and McDowell seems to have been the catalyst, and within 2 miles you have a new LA Fitness, a new Senior Living complex, and just south of the ASU location, new multi-family housing will be offered this winter.  Many homeowners in this area have totally remodeled

Extra Mile of Service

November 21st, 2005
Good Monday to all....

Not to toot our own horns (too much.....), but we wanted to share with you how far our service extends.

We have attended a quite a few meetings with warranty representatives for builders, or have met with contractors on behalf of our clients - both buyers and sellers.  We have sellers that live outside of Phoenix, and clients on both ends of transactions that are not able to miss work to let workers in.  We have gladly accomodated our clients to ensure a smooth and timely transaction - which is what EVERYONE wants!

When you next interview a real estate agent, ask them, "What level of service can you offer me?"

OPEN HOUSE

November 19th, 2005
Hi,

We will be holding two open houses on Sunday November 20, from Noon until 4 PM..  Both are in the San Tan Heights community.

The first property is at 2684 W. Goldmine Mountain Dr.  This gorgeous home boasts 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, loft, den, 2 laundry rooms and a 4 car garage.  Even better, the large lot backs to a 10 acre park with mountain and city lights views that will not  change.  The 10x 30 deck over the  covered patio makes for comfortable viewing of this fabulous skyline and even multiple city's fireworks displays.

 

The second property at 3015 W. South Butte Road, is also 5 beds and 3.5

Condos

November 19th, 2005
Hi,

We have had a lot of interest in our new Condo Conversion page of our site.  Condo conversions are the hot new thing not only in Phoenix but in other major markets as well.  Often times, these complexes sell out in a matter of days.  One recent conversion took appointment times for 300 units in one day.   The previous occupants always have first shot at purchasing the units they reside in, and people who may have placed backup offers on previous developments by the same developer tend to be second in line.  So, how do you get one?  Diligence.  We are making it our priority to update that page and bring as much
