Phoenix housing market saw a large increase in monthly gain over April statistics.

Well, anyone in Real Estate can tell you May was a very busy month in real estate!  everyone has their theory as to why, but all in all, bottom line- "it is a good time to buy a home in Arizona".  With prices still low, interest rates at an amazing low rates and some great programs out there to help folks buy a home.  Not to mention it is cheaper to buy a home than it is to rent one?  Why not! 

So this is to call all of the folks that have been sitting on the fence, thinking you will wait until things hit "bottom".  Folks Bottom was in our market about September/October of last year...you don't want to wait any longer, as prices are just starting to crawling upwards!

Living a Life of Gratitude

What are you grateful for?  How do we live life and be grateful every day? I am always trying to live my life with Gratitude but always need a reminder. Well, I am sure you have heard a few really good tips to living a grateful life like;  Keep a journal near your bed and either before you go to bed or right as you wake- write 4 to 5 things that you are grateful for.   Keep an empty jar nearby your work area and write down something you’re grateful for every time you feel stressed out (or perhaps when you say a certain phrase). Vow to not complain, criticize, or gossip for 30 days at a time-- If you slip, rally your willpower and keep going. Notice the amount of energy and TIME you were spending on negative thoughts and actions. We all have said it; “time is precious”, “time is money”, “time goes so fast when you are having fun” And many wise people have tried to warn us; Time is what we want most, but... what we use worst. ~William Penn  ...

And once you own it, the expenses continue to add up, with everything from maintenance to taxes and insurance. There are some tax benefits to owning a home, though. Tax-deductible homeowner costs can reduce the amount of income tax you have to pay. What is a tax-deductible expense? A tax-deductible expense is one that you can deduct from your adjustable gross income (AGI) when you file your taxes for the year. Deducting these costs reduces your taxable income, and the lower your taxable income, the less you'll pay in taxes.
