Why do people move to Phoenix? Well, obviously there are many reasons. But one of those reasons is the weather. Can it get to 120 in the summer? Sure. But, November-April normally has amazing weather to be outside.That outside can be golfing, hiking, biking, or grabbing a cold one at a bar/restaurant/tavern, or even eating a full meal too.So, when food is involved and I have a question I go to my Facebook Group and ask!The results were written about in this post about the best outdoor North Phoenix restaurants.Have a different favorite? Been to any of them? Let me know in the comments. 11/05/2023

The housing market in Cave Creek, AZ continues to be a Sellers market.In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone. We will continue to watch for changes in the Market Action Index. Any indication that the market is heating up, could also indicate that prices are likely to resume an upward climb.This month the median list price for Cave Creek, AZ 85331 was $730,000.The Average Days on Market in 85331 is 146 days. This seems long, but it is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower priced areas.For more detail on the housing market in Cave Creek, AZ visit the following link: November 2019 - Cave Cre... 11/21/2019

Time to hop into the Wayback Machine. Back to the 1950s a time when wholesomeness and good clean looks were a prerequisite to stardom. Teenage heart throbs abound and one of the earliest was Ricky Nelson. Ricky the youngest member of the Nelson family starred in radio and TV on the popular show The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Ricky was often featured singing his latest song on the show. It wasn’t long before Ricky became a popular recording artist placing over 50 songs on the Billboard Top 100 chart.Rock and Roll was still in its infancy and not everyone took the new genre seriously. Ricky was once quoted as saying “Anyone who knocks rock 'n' roll either doesn't understand it, or is prejudiced against it, or is just plain square”. I couldn't agree more.In 1959 Ricky’s good looks an... 06/09/2019

Distressed properties - those that are "under water" where more is owed on the property than will be available from the proceeds of a sale of the property - are thankfully far fewer than during the crash during the latter years of the previous decade. Still - some do exist - and Short Sales are still a viable option when faced with a "must sell" scenario of an "under water" property. Currently running at less than 3% of the closed transactions every month in our MLS, homeowners in that 3%, whether in Cave Creek or another part of the valley, can still use our help. The first step is to contact us so we can schedule a complimentary confidential consultation to discuss how the short sale process works, and the considerations for your particular circumstances.   Careful up front planning i... 02/03/2018

While there are far fewer people these days considering a Short Sale of their home in Cave Creek, there are still some who may have purchased just before the "bust" last decade who may owe significantly more on the home than the proceeds of the sale will bring. What to do? A Short Sale is one such solution. A Short Sale is a "regular resale" with one distinct and significant difference. The agreement of your lender(s) to accept less than the balance(s) owed on the loan(s). Whether or not a homeowner meets the other "requirements" of their lender(s) such as a "valid" hardship can only be determined by consultation with a skilled and experienced professional with a solid Short Sale track record - we recommend a minimum of 100 closed Short Sales with a 90%+ Short Sale List to Close ratio. ... 12/23/2017

While the numbers of Short Sales and REOs in Cave Creek are way down from the staggering levels following the market crash about 10 years ago, there are still some properties "under water" and some that have received a Notice of Default, the first step in the process that will result in the Trustee's Sale on the courthouse steps. It's always sad to see people give up and walk away from a home, particularly when alternatives exist which may well be better for them and their lien holders. We've learned that often those who "opt" to let the home go to foreclosure "by default" often believe that their personal circumstances prevent them from doing a Short Sale.   Circumstances such as: Multiple Home Loans IRS Income Tax Liens Past Due Child Support Past Due HOA Fees ...and the list goes on.... 11/02/2017

A very important part, if not critical, in real estate is getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan.Unless you pay cash to purchase a property, a mortgage loan for your home purchase is the first step in any real estate transaction.The average American has a FICO credit score of 700, but unless your credit score is exactly 700, this doesn't tell you much about where you stand. If you know your FICO score and were wondering how you compare with other American consumers, here's a look at the current distribution of FICO scores, and some guidelines that can help you interpret what your score means.Here's What Americans' FICO Scores Look Like -- How Do You Compare? 10/07/2017

Although we no longer see the levels of Short Sales that we did a few years ago in Cave Creek, Notices of Default continue to be issued, meaning that yet another Cave Creek property is on the path towards foreclosure at auction on the courthouse steps. Suzanne and I wonder why the owners would allow the property to go to foreclosure, rather than investigate alternatives that may be mutually beneficial to themselves and their lenders. Not all properties heading for foreclosure are necessarily "under water" - which theoretically means they could be sold via a "traditional" sale rather than a "short sale" - but circumstances may mean there are other liens attached or other factors that inhibit or prevent the owners from selling the property - whether or not it's a short sale. Short Sales a... 09/25/2017

  While the Short Sale days of the previous decade are for the most part behind us, the reality is that there are still hundreds of homes "under water" in Arizona.   While it's true that not every property facing foreclosure in Cave Creek is "under water", may of them are, and unfortunately many homeowners still don't understand that the likelihood is they will be far better off doing a Short Sale of their Cave Creek home than allowing their Cave Creek home to be sold at auction on the courthouse steps!    Short Sales are "regular resales" with one big difference.     Your lender(s) must agree to accept less than the amount(s) owed on your loan(s).   While there are many details regarding Short Sale Seller financial circumstances and the hardship they face, the bottom line is that most ... 08/10/2017
