Jimmy Buffet’s Coming to Town

This is a call out to all you Parrot Head’s. Jimmy Buffet is coming to town to offer a free concert at his famed restaurant Margaritaville at Westagte City Center on April 9,2008. There is a catch you have to win the free tickets by either visiting the restaurant or being a lucky winner from one of the media outlets.

This should be a great concert! Hopefully I will see you there!

The time to buy is now!

I recently received my official swammie hat and thought I should immediately put it to good use. OK not really… but I did come across a great article that I thought everyone should read.

The anticipation is that our current economic situation will be improving in 2009. If this is correct that means those people who are looking for a deal on buying a home should buy now or in the next few months.  (see article below.)

Unfortunately there is no magic bell that is going to be ringing to let everyone know we have hit rock bottom in the real estate market. By the time people hear the market is picking up most of the great deals will be gone.

I recommend if you are thinking of looking for a home in the next few months you contact me or a Realtor you know right away. They will be able to give you information regarding the current market conditions in your area and then you can decide if it is the right time to buy! Good Luck!

Buying Real Estate in Rocky Point

I have been asked by several of my past clients what my thoughts are in buying real estate in Mexico… mainly in the Rocky Point area also known as Puerto Penasco.

I am very honest and tell them I personally have never been to Rocky Point. I hear it is very nice. As for buying real estate there (Mexico) you have to be very careful. There have been several complaints recently regarding getting a clear title for the land. You will want to be sure to do your due diligence and not get caught-up in the moment.

There was an article recently in The Arizona Republic that is worth reading. I have attached a link to the article below.

Ways to save on Gas when the prices go up

Wow, the price of oil just keeps on climbing and the media is so helpful in reporting it that the prices here in the Phoenix area which were reported as the lowest in the nation 3 weeks ago are no more… Thank  you so kindly news media.

Coyote’s Lose a close one

If you watched the Coyote’s play last night it was a matter of 1 goal and that goal was more luck than skill. Unfortunately, the lucky goal was for the Blackhawks and not the Coyotes.

The Yotes have a chance to even up their road trip tonight with a win against the Blues. This too will be a tough game and likely will be close.

Making the playoffs is still possible but the Coyotes need to be more aggressive and play like each period is going to be their last. 

More information on last nights game below.

Trying to do your part to reduce global warming

Whether you are a big believer in global warming or not you can do your part. On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time you can turn off all lights and non essential electronics in your home. Basically for 1 hour you and your family can hang-out with each other. During this one hour my family and I will be playing board games by candle light. I look forward to it!
