Those of us who use the 60 East in Mesa through the stretch from, say, Gilbert Road on out to Signal Butte have been dodging all of the construction for what seems forever. There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel. ADOT is putting the finishing touches on the 202 north from the 60 from Southern to University! YES!!! They will be opening that stretch by the middle of July and finishing the remainder all of the way to Power by next summer. That will be wonderful.

Another tidbit of welcome news is that the section between Signal Butte and Crismon Road will be rubberized later this year. After it's not too hot, and before it gets too cold. That will eliminate a great deal of the noise for those homeowners living near the freeway. I have been told that if those who do live near that open section complain in writing about the truck noise, debris, that it will encourage ADOT to put up a sound wall. None is planned as of now. But if enough people make noise about the noise, it would be much better.

Today, our active listings total 54,192. We still have a 10 month supply of homes. As I recommended in my last post, sellers need to think about staging their homes, and buyers? What are you waiting for? Interest rates are going up and home prices are down. Now's a good time to buy that home!

It is amazing though, after living in Southern California for a number of years, how quickly the freeways do get completed here.
