One of the biggest benefits to building a new home vs. buying a resale is that you can design the home your dreams.  Of course, you can choose remodel one of the great resale deals out there as well but in the end the overall home may not be as efficient as buying a new one. Either way there are several bathroom trends that were identified as a result of the National Kitchen and Bath Association's (NKBA) annual survey to its membership. Among the major trends identified for 2013, the most significant that surfaced for both bathrooms and kitchens are: Gray color schemes in both kitchens and baths have witnessed a dramatic escalation since 2010, particularly over the past year. Used currently in 55% of kitchens and 56% of bathrooms, shades of gray are growing in appeal, creating chic, so...

One of the big benefits of buying new is the ability to design your interior in a way that reflects your unique taste on a budget that is comfortable for you.  This year, as proven by the annual Best In American Living Awards (BALA) that honors excellence in new home design, the trend is moving toward "right-sized luxury".  Square footage has become less important than the details. Of course kitchens, because they are the heart of the home, are still king.   Kitchens sells houses and many new home builders use them as the starting point for the rest of the home.  According to the BALA judges, you can expect to see more white cabintry, and not just the cabinets, but in the countertops as well with white carerra marbletop showing up in many of the designs this years.  According to design...

There is so much to consider when you are buying a home which goes far beyond the obvious: location, location, location.  A key question as you begin your search should be how important is the age of the home to you?  As you explore this question some key points to keep in mind are: Do you want a home that you've helped to design? Do you want to be able to pick YOUR colors and the finishes YOU want? How important is it to you to have the latest in energy efficiency and design? Many people love the charm that comes with buying an older home or have their heart set on a certain neighborhood.  In Green Valley AZ it is all about the views, and you may have decided you must have a home in a certain area that offers the views that you want to wake up to each and every day.   And, for some ta...

I woke this morning to a welcome sight...puffy clouds barely tinged with telltale signs of dark grey dotting the bright blue and endless skies above me.   A signal that the always much anticipated Monsoon time of the year is arriving.  Monsoon is an Arabic word that means "season".   Although it is believed that Monsoon is used to describe the arrival of precipitation, it is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation.  Today, the term is used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea. In a nutshell, when you see the term Monsoon used by the media at this time the year it refers to the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern.  The key ...

For the very latest on all things Green Valley AZ Real Estate--follow Judi on The owner of Mac's Pub & Patio set out to create Cheers, a popular TV sitcom that ran from 1982 to 1993, because he wanted a place where everyone knows your name.  Judging from the full parking lot in front of Chris Macauley's pub, it has definitely become a new local favorite and that's due in part because Chris has never met a stranger, remembers peoples' names and is willing to go that extra mile to keep people coming back.   Of course another big reason people keep coming back is the food.   Chris calls it "authentic English pub grub".  Entrees include fish and chips, bangers and mash, and four dinner pies.
