Let’s Not Get Ahead of Ourselves…

I’ve had messages from both agent colleagues and lenders alike informing me that the $8,000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit has been extended until April of 2010. Although the wheels are turning to perhaps make this true, nothing to date has yet been made official. I repeat, nothing has yet been made official. We never [...]

The September Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

In a nutshell, the Phoenix real estate market held relatively steady, and did little in the way of variation from last month, so rather than bore you to death with my typically captivating and always interesting analysis of the market, I’ll get right to the numbers and will struggle to be brief.  On with the [...]

The August Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

Well folks, here they are again.  My apologies for the tardiness, but we’ve been busy–we’re working 2 and 3x as hard as we used to, and transactions just don’t come together anymore; they need a babysitter throughout the entire process.  Enough of my babbling.  Let’s look at the charts.  Remember, click on any of the [...]

The July Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

Howdy folks.  It’s time for the latest and greatest numbers.  This month is again, more of the same from the previous couple of months, but that is a good thing.  Let’s get right to the charts–and remember, click on the chart to enlarge (opens in a new window).

The June Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

At the risk of becoming completely monotonous, my post this month is almost going to be a duplicate of last month with only a couple of differences, but major differences nonetheless.  I’ll try to spare you the usual long-windedness and go right to the charts.  Remember, click on any of the charts to see the [...]

The Monetization of the $8,000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

There has been much talk in recent weeks about giving buyers the ability to use their $8,000 first time home-buyer tax credit in lieu of cash as downpayment (you, in essence, sell your tax credit back to the lender) on a home, and a great deal of the information is, at worst, errant, and at [...]

The May Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

Wow – What a month!  I thought April was nuts, but the Month of May would prove to be much more active.  These last couple of months rival even the boom months of September and October of 2006 in terms of actual units sold.  Let’s go straight to the charts, and remember that clicking the [...]

The April Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

We are back, and there is definitely some good news to report.  In short, the gains that were made in March were definitely built upon, and taken in combination, the last 2 months have had a fairly signifigant impact on the market.  Enough of my talk…  Let’s take a look at what the market has [...]

1st Quarter Maricopa County Real Estate Reports

I wish I had more time to talk about them, because the information contained in these reports is pretty remarkable, but instead, I’ll just provide a link, let you read, and then digest…  If you have any questions or comments on the report, let me know; I would love to hear what you think.  You [...]

The March Phoenix Real Estate Reports Are In…

If you wonder why I am so delinquent in posting the March numbers (or any other posts for that matter), it’s been because we’ve been BUSY!!!  You’ll understand just how busy when we get to the numbers, and if my schedule is any indication how the April numbers will look, I think you are going [...]
