Property Boundaries Fences should not be considered an indication of property boundaries. Legal property boundaries are demarcated by surveyor pins or stakes. These are typically 1/2" to 3/4" round iron pipes flush or buried slightly below land surface. Newer pins might have yellow or orange caps that indicate the surveyor's license number. Locating property lines can be challenging. Older surveyor pins tend to erode. Older property markers could be metal posts, rebar, pipes or car axles. Those having difficulty locating their surveyor pins, also called corner pins, should contact their city or county government and get a copy of their plat map. A plat map will identify each specific lot located in a subdivision — as well as the shape and dimension of the lot — and where the surveyor pi... 11/30/2011

  Believe or Not, this is a great time to be in Real Estate.   What in world you may ask would lead me to make such a bold statement as now is the time to be in real estate? First of all, there are tons of buyers out there. The hard part is that there are so many buyers that there are multiple offers on virtually every listing and it becomes a bidding war.    Buyers that offer full listed price on a bank owned property will have a hard time winning that war, the same seems to be true for Short Sales also.      It seems that the listed price is nothing more than a starting point for negotiations. As an agent, a little savvy goes a long way. The prices are lower than they were in 2005, but buying process is much the same. Good buyer representation often wins out;  Homebuyers realize that ... 11/30/2011

 Avondale Arizona Real Estate Market Report October 2011  Avondale Arizona Home Sales are down slightly from last month but still up from one year ago.  Listings continue to go down making the market tighter, particularly for first home buyers as there are many 1st time home buyers flooding the market due to low prices and interest rates.. We expect the market to be a little slower over the holiday months but not significantly over the year. We all know the media likes to 'take a bite' on any negative piece of news to make it appear as if the real estate market is doom and gloom.  It is not!  We expect sales to continue on a upward trend  this next year due to low home prices and low interest rates. Many Phoenix Arizona homes have had multiple bids if they're priced right, in good condi... 11/21/2011

Watch out for the Arizona Republic   Several months ago when picking up the Sunday Arizona  Republic  there was a coupon for home delivery for $1 a week, so called and was told it would be $5.81 per month out of my checking account, said that is fine and gave them my account information.   In July I notice that they have taken twice as much out of my account, so I called and was told that they had sent me a notice of the increase, which I had not received.  So I told there person on the phone to cancel subscription. They came back said they would put the difference back in my account and continue my subscription at the same rate. So I said OK.   A month later   On August 8, 2011 they took the normal subscription rate out of my account but sent me a letter on the 20 of the month saying t... 09/22/2011

How Waiting for Home Prices to Fall Can Cost You If you're thinking about buying a home but are waiting for a further decline in housing prices, consider the following. First, trying to time the bottom of any market is difficult. Second, there's another cost factor that often gets overlooked: interest rate costs, particularly over an extended period of time. Interest rates are hovering near their lowest level in more than 40 years. Lower interest rates dramatically affect savings when it comes to purchasing a home. On a $200,000 mortgage*, if interest rates increase from 4.5% (Annual Percentage Rate 4.665%) to 5.5% (APR 5.676%), the cost of your monthly mortgage payment increases $123, or 12.14% a month. If interest rates increase from 4.5% (APR 4.665%) to 6.5% (APR 6.687%), the cost of... 09/21/2011
