With each type of housing trend, whether it's a down turn in the economy or increased demand, changes take place to fill a need.  Currently, there are vacant commercial buildings, thanks to the pandemic and a shift in retail spaces.   Vacant spaces are a blight in a community and are non-producing without revenue streams to produce a livelihood.   The shift from visiting a store to ordering online increased dramatically thanks in part to the pandemic.  If there is one thing that the pandemic has taught us, it's how to fill a need quickly without leaving our homes.  Amazon, Walmart and grocery stores became the click of the day as we ordered what we needed without physical contact.   Due to this change from the buying public many retail leases were vacated, workers are now working from h...

Statistics show that the pandemic caused many relocations across the country. Since so many are now able to work remotely, it makes sense that people might choose a location that had formerly been just a vacation destination.  But where are these workers choosing to live?   The answers might surprise you!  An article by AZ Big Media, 2/22/22, "Migration Snapshot, Here's how many People are moving to Arizona" shared "Suburban net move-ins increased the most in Sacrament, followed by St. Louis, while net move-outs increased the most in San Francisco, followed by New York City.  Some of the migration, thanks to the pandemic, has changed populations based on less "dependency on public transportation." This makes sense because it was no longer needed if those workers worked from home.   Work...

Greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area Market Snapshot - April & May 2022 The market has begun to change rapidly. Rising supply with falling demand makes this the moment when the market begins to balance and cool down from being one of the longest seller’s markets I have ever experienced. This weeks mortgage has hit a 13 year high and is now averaging 5.27%, reported by Freddie Mac. “The average sales price as of May 1st stood at $591,000” says Tom Ruff of ARMLS STAT and he expects prices to further increase, but with falling demand - which seems a paradox explained only by inflation. The Fed is prepared to move quickly to taper inflation and we expect them to raise rates by a point over the next two months.  Get Your Home Sold With The Shanna Day Team Beautify/Ready To Sell Program!    Clic...

Active listings have risen 21% year over year for April, 2022.  Homes are still selling quickly as Phoenix is a relocation, tourist and retirement destination.   With rising interest rates, some are being priced out of the homes they are interested in buying.  Homes are still selling in record time!  This chart reflects that homes are taking 25 days to sell.  That's the same number of days it took to sell a house in Phoenix in June, 2021.   Record quick sales!Prices have not slowed down as the housing market continues to favor sellers.  This is a record high median sales price for the Phoenix Metro Area. An early indicator of the existing listing inventory is when prices start to drop on existing listings.  There are a number of reasons that list prices are reduced.  The home may have b...

Every day, someone is relocating around the US.  Whether it's for a job, retirement, or buying a second home.  Americans, now more than ever, are considering relocation.  With more employees able to work remotely, staying put is now a thing of the past for many in the workforce today.  According to this Forbes article,  19 million people are considering relocating  around the US thanks to remote work caused by the pandemic. Because of this phenomenon, moving to your next city is a breeze.  All you have to do is contact your realtor.   If you're one of us on ActiveRain, we're very likely to have relationships with other realtors in other cities, states.  Thanks to our network of agents right here in ActiveRain  I know that I can research and find agents that are happy to answer the phone...

There is a lot of whispers about the current housing market resembling the housing recession.   The public "feels" the rise in home prices, the rush to buy, multiple offers, and low inventory, thinking a bubble is on the horizon.   My immediate reaction is, "No.  This is not going to turn into a housing recession or a bubble."  This 2004 Arizona Republic begged the question, "How long can prices rise."   \Why we are not going to experience a bubble in real estate in Arizona?   WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE SAME DYNAMICS that existed in 2005-2006.  Financing Home buyers must now pre-qualify with a lender and submit documentation to be approved for a mortgage, versus the "fog a mirror" and get a loan.    The risky sub-prime/negative amortized  loans and 100% financing with interest only paymen...

Is there an odor from your dishwasher?  You've already ran your disposal and still smell the odor.  You've cleaned out your sink with vinegar, baking soda and every cleaning product you can think of AFTER running your dishwasher.  And yet, the odor persists.  BUT, have you checked the filter inside the dishwasher?  Check the bottom of your dishwasher and search for the filter cap. Unscrew the cap to check for debris and grime.   Clean the filter with a soft brush under running water with dishwasher soap.  After you remove the filter, pour in some white vinegar and replace the cleaned filter. Now run your dishwasher again.  The odor should be gone!  P.S. From personal experience, I never knew this filter existed.  Thanks to my friends, I learned something new and my dishwasher smells a l...

From the advice of one of our preferred Attorneys, Mr. Chris Combs of Combs, Gottlieb & MacQueen, P.C.:Ban On Short-Term Renters of Condominiums Requires Unanimous Vote Question: We live in a condominium community in central Phoenix. In the last two years we have had a number of the condominiums being used as short-term rentals. The result is that our condominium community is now much noisier and less friendly. A large group of us want to amend our CC&Rs to prohibit short-term rentals in our condominium community. Our CC&Rs require 67% of the condominium owners to agree to any amendment of our CC&Rs. Although 67% of the condominium owners will probably agree to this amendment if we present our arguments against short-term rentals, there will have to be some education and some meetings. ...
