I always enjoy telling people about the Willo Historic District. It’s a very cool historic neighborhood bounded by McDowell and Thomas Roads on the North and South and 1st to 7th Avenues on the east and West. Each year, the residents of Willo put on the annual Willo Historic District Home Tour.

The annual Willo Home Tour attracts thousands of people each year because of our collective love affair with the cool homes in this awesome downtown Phoenix location.

This self guided tour of Willo allows people to peak inside of some great homes while walking the tree lined streets or by taking one of the shuttle busses around the neighborhood.

This year’s Willo tour showcases 13 homes and the old historic firehouse at 13th Avenue and Jewel. In addition to touring these historic homes, there is a LOT of excitement around the Willo street fair that has food, music and so much more. It really is a great way to spend a Sunday.

Here’s the scoop…

Date: Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Time: Tour open 10am-4pm ( pick up will call tickets starting at 9am )

Place: Willo! ( McDowell to Thomas – 1st Ave to 7th Ave )

Tickets: You can BUY TICKETS for $15.75 before the tour, $18.00 day of tour

Parking: Free parking at 1st Ave and Holly ( just north of Chateau )

TAKE LIGHT RAIL: Seriously, why would you try to park with 3000 other people?

With 3-4000 people expected to attend the tour, the light rail is a great way to get to and from the Willo Home Tour. Traffic can be a nightmare, don’t even mess with it when you can take the light rail to a station that is just a short walk from the tour and shuttle busses.

Below is a map of the area. If you are first time light rail riders or are not familiar with riding the trains, please keep these things in mind.

1. Purchase a light rail pass. An all day adult pass is just $3.50.

2. Take advantage of the FREE Park and Ride lots.

3. Know your light rail stations. See the light rail map below.

The proceeds from the Willo Historic Home Tour benefit the neighborhood, the park and the entire community. This is an awesome volunteer effort that ultimately benefits Willo and it’s surrounding areas.

“A variety of homes from Tudor to Spanish Revival - Bungalow to Ranch style homes dating from the 1920's through the 1940's will be on tour.” – Willo Home Tour

To truly experience Willo, you might want to tour the homes for sale in Willo which can be done just about any time. Take a look below. You’ll be glad you did. :)

Good Grief - Are those buzzards flying around that Phoenix house?

Good Grief - Are those buzzards flying around that Phoenix house?

Yesterday I showed long time clients of mine a few Phoenix & Glendale homes. These folks have been seriously looking for a home to downsize in, as he's retired and she hopes to retire next year or so. They just don't want www.phoenixpropertyshoppe.com a big home and huge yard to take care of anymore. That seems simple enough.

They had put a bid on another home but didn't win as they lost out to a cash buyer. Of course they were disappointed as it was a lovely home. They have hope that the right home and situation will happen. And I absolutley know we'll make it happen for them - whatever it takes.

Here's the bizarre part of our Phoenix home tour yesterday. A home came 'back on the market' in an area my buyers were interested in relocating to as it's close to their kids and grand kids. The husband and I went to look at it in the morning to make sure it would be a home his wife would be happy to call it home. It was gorgeous and just the right size for them, plus it had been remodeled. This would mean he would not have any work to do and could spend his time playing golf. We made plans to meet there at 5:30 that evening and to write a contract on the spot.

My business partner and I arrived at the home a little before 5:30 (he really enjoys this couple and wanted to share in their excitement so he came along to support their home buying experience). There was another agent waiting to show the home and somebody else was in the home looking around. We waited patiently for our turn and while we were waiting 3 more cars pulled up. Good Grief what the heck is going on here? Were we in grand central station or what?

www.phoenixpropertyshoppe.com
We finally got in the home. I closed the gate and front door so they could have their privacy while viewing the home. Whew! It felt like we were being surrounded by buzzards, it really did! It was bizarre. None of us could believe this was actually happening.

While we were upstairs we looked out the window and saw
several more buzzards people getting in line to view the home

They both loved the home and wanted to make an offer so we headed out the door, past the long line of people waiting to view the home. Back at my office we had a serious conversation about what they wanted to do about making an offer or passing on this one. Was it possible to win this bid? Would they have to go over list price to get the bid? In the end they decided to pass on making an offer on this home. They made the right decision in this situation. The home will most likely be bid way up over list and quite frankly, it's just not worth that much. It's a nice home....but not that nice. Next....

They've moved on and we'll be looking at other homes on Sunday.
They are confident the right home and situation will pop up. Me too!

Sometimes, passing on making an offer is a very good decision!
