Sun City, AZ

Just a couple of nice items in today's news.

Fourth quarter GDP up 5.7%, highest improvement in six years. Let us hope it continues.

Meritage and Lennar have both announced grand openings on NEW developments in the Phoenix area for tomorrow. 1/30/2010. This is HUGE to me. New home building means JOBS.

In my Sun City Neighborhood, I have personally had several of the best open houses since 2000. I have said for a couple of years that there was a pent-up demand building, and it seems that it may be starting to buy.

I look forward to doing my market report tomorrow night. I believe it will be a good one.

I just posted a list of 180 items that a real estate agent does for clients. By no means is this an exclusive list, but it will give buyers and sellers of homes an idea just how complex real estate is.

If you are considering buying or selling a home in today's market, give this a read. If you are considering buying or selling a home in the Sun City Neighborhood of Arizona, Give me a call.

Search the MLS almost like an agent!

Do you, like many people, want to do your own home search? I am introducing a new website, Suncityhomes.listingbook.com.

I will allow access, respect your privacy (no email spam from me), remove you from any and all mailings immediately upon your request with no argument or hassles. How much better can that be?

Home Buyers, you get to control all of your initial property search. Who would know better than your what suits you?

Home Sellers, you can get immediate information on properties that are in competition with yours. Make an informed decision with real-time facts, not the opinion of an agent, or worse yet, your neighbor.

Prospective home buyers and sellers, get facts to help you decide is now the time to buy or sell, all in the privacy of your own home with no obligation.

Why do I do this? I hope to earn your business. If this is valuable to you, please consider making me your Sun City Neighborhood REALTOR. I do try a "Little" harder for my clients, please let me work for you.

If you do chose to use another agent in the purchase or sale of your home, just unsubscribe from my listingbook feed and continue with the agent of your choice.

We had 2 days of liquid sunshine (rain) and looking for 2 more before the winter storm track changes. Obviously a rare occurrence in Sun City AZ, since we have 320 days of sun each year.

Rain days in Sun City are almost local holidays.

I told the buyers who were having a home inspection today that we arranged the rain to make them feel at home. We do aim to please here.

I always encourage buyers to have a home inspection, and a rainy day is good. We know the roof works!
