This morning the Pending Home Sales Report (Click for more details) for the metro Phoenix area blew away all expectations.  The experts were banking on the report indicating a -1% drop in activity when in fact the report showed a 6.3% increase!  This report is a leading indicator for existing hom...

OK, for those of you that read this on a regular basis you've noticed that I haven't written in a while. There's a few reasons for that including a vacation back to Michigan but bottom line is I need to get back into the groove. With that in mind let me tell you about a few new listings I added o...

Ok, we all know that the media likes to take a subject (like the real estate industry) and beat it to death. Over the last year or so the only stories worth writing about were how the market is so bad, home prices are dropping, etc. Unfortunatley they had good reason to write about this because a...

Tough question but one we'll all need to consider soon. The state of Arizona (and many other states) has looked into taxing homeowners when they sell their home. The worst part is they will tax you based on the sales price not the equity gain on the home. So they tax the employer you work for, th...
