Buy or Sell Homes in South East Valley of Arizona

At some point in our lives many of us have had to move. Whether it’s from mom and dad’s house to our first apartment or from a home where we raised our children to a smaller home. It can be heartbreaking to part with items that  we've  hung on to just to de-clutter for the next move but  we've  got to do it.  One way to to off set that is to do it from year to year, so starting  this year why not try de-  cluttering  your home to give it new life and perhaps you will fall back in love with it?  Here are my De-Cluttering 101 Tips: 1.) Organize . Designate four empty bins where you will put items to keep, throw away, give away, or recycle. There is no “maybe” pile. [You can have a “sell” pile if you have a plan to sell the items such on eBay or at a yard sale. Once the sale is over, you must get rid of unsold items.] 2.)  Go slowly . Start with the refrigerator then a closet or drawer per day. Place each item in one ...

It seems overwhelming to think about location, features, and other factors and that’s okay. That’s why you hired a full-time real estate agent; they can help you find a place to call home.  Here are 6 top things to consider:         Budget .

As the holidays approach, home sellers are often tempted to take their homes off the market until spring—or even wait until spring to list. After all, buyers are too busy now to search for houses, right? In a word, no. As a rule, you should list your home when you want to sell it, not when you think it will sell, because no one can predict with any certainty when the right buyer might show up at your door. In fact, canceling or postponing your listing may actually prove counterproductive.  Here are three reasons why: 1. Motivated Buyers Buyers who take time from their holiday preparations―and their holiday time off work―to house-hunt tend to be serious buyers who are ready to move. Although some buyers prefer to move in warmer weather, those who are relocating or who are purchasing upon expiration of their leases don't have a choice. Furthermore, buyers who have no children, and buyers already living in your school district, may not have a seasonal preference. 2. Less Compet...

Either Way, You’re Still Paying a Mortgage November 4 2014 There are some people that have not purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage- or perhaps you can't because of a short sale or a foreclosure.

There are programs out there to help get you back on your feet and start reaping the benefits that you deserve! As a paper from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University explains:  “Households must consume housing whether they own or rent. Not even accounting for more favorable tax treatment of owning, homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord plus a rate of return. That’s yet another reason owning often does—as Americans intuit—end up making more financial sense than renting.” Also, i...
