MLS Stats as of 2/8/08 Phoenix metro

February 16th, 2008

I thought it would be worth posting some statistics regarding the market. As of last Friday, the total number of homes on the market dipped down nearly 5% over the Holidays but have moved back up since. They are still sitting at a lower level, 45414 or down about 2%, from the end of the year. However the current rate of closings is very low due to the fact that it is reflecting acti ...

What a week!

February 14th, 2008

The title says it all. It has been a fabulous and interesting week. I spent a few days in Vancouver, BC, Canada this past week, networking with some great RE/MAX agents from all over western Canada. The weather was as to be expected for Vancouver this time of year, crisp, cool and wet. Made me long for the fantastic weather of Scottsdale and the Valley of the Sun. At least it wasn't th ...

Desert Ridge area 2007 Year end

January 18th, 2008

The Year in Review As we begin a new year, I thought it appropriate to put this past year in real estate into perspective. The media coverage has been extraordinary, and for the most part negative. I am not going to tell you that everything is rosy, but the negative media spin tends to lead to a self fulfilling prophecy. The more negative press, the more people become scar ...

Happy New Year

January 1st, 2008

Happy New Year to all! I hope that this New Year brings happiness to all. may we all get along and make it a great year! I want to take care of a little confusion regarding RE/MAX. On December 24, the owner of the RE/MAX 2000 franchise in Gilbert, AZ notified his agents that he was closing down.

Should I buy now or wait?

December 12th, 2007

Lately, I have had quite a few people ask me if this is a good time to buy or should they wait a little longer. Most of these folks are from out of state, and in some cases out the country. Everyone seems to have a least a general knowledge of the state of the real estate market. We all know that the last couple of years have been tough to say the least. Anyone can spin the message anyw ...

Change happens

November 20th, 2007

Hi, Well, it's obvious, I have been really bad about blogging lately. Sometimes the brain just doesn't want to come up with new and interesting things to write about. This business is always changing, and there is typically something to write about. It's just that my creative side doesn't work the same way as my analytical side. That's only one reason that the next bit of new ...

Positive news about the Phoenix Real Estate market

October 18th, 2007

We all know that real estate has taken a beating across the nation in the past couple of years. It could even be said that the Phoenix area could be the poster child for what has happened. After all, the Phoenix metro area had over 50% appreciation in 2004-2005 for the highest in the country. The old adage of the bigger they come the harder they fall, could hold true. (Keep in mind that i ...
