Arizona Real Talk

On today's episode we dive into why now more than ever is a great time to buy a house. Yes interest rates are higher than before, but we have shifted fast into a buyers market. What that means for people that need to buy is that "SELLER CONSESSIONS" are back! That huge. Not only can you get the seller to help buy down your rate but the buyer now has more negotiating power. We are getting more and more closer to a balanced market where it's a even balance of power between buyers and sellers. 

After you listen let us know what you think hit us up at the following:

It just turned summer, but were finding some cooling going on and it definitely isn't the Arizona heat... The Arizona Housing Market is taking a dip in the pool and cooling off for a hot min! On this episode we talk about what's really going on with the Arizona real estate market.  It seems like the whole real estate world got flipped upside down in a matter of weeks, but is it REALLY that bad?  We discuss why what's going is actually really healthy for all parties and why it's still a decent time to buy. You just might have to wait a couple of months for prices to catch up to interest rates!

On today's episode we dive into why interests and mortgage rates are rising and how it is effecting everybody.  From rising food and commodity prices to housing affordability its affecting us all.  But that shouldn't scare you away from buying a home.  We get into why now is still a good time to buy and why you shouldn't wait. Also, we get into a Q&A about some other interesting things going on with the housing industry that you're not going to want to miss!

On this Episode we talk about Shawn and how far he has come in a short period of time.  Shawn started in the Mortgage industry just two years ago and now is officially opening up his own brokerage.  The guy is doing it all. He is great a customer service and great and making the processes simple and clean on all aspects of the industry.  This guy is gonna go places in the Mortgage world. Be Ready! 

We are back in the podcast studio! It's been a real hot min, but we're back and ready to get back at it!  We have been busy with the holidays, getting a pool built and adjusting to the twin life but it's getting better and we've found away to be more consistent.  On this episode we sit down and talk about what we've been up too as well as a 2022 Arizona Housing Market Update!  2022 could be one of the trickiest years to give a prediction on, but one thing has stayed consistent and that is the lack of housing supply.  That is really the only metric that is giving us any idea on what the market will do IOHO (in our humble opinions).  Where is the market going... No one knows but we give some pretty good insight to why we think the market is going todo.

  

On this episode we chat about the remodeling for different reasons.  We talk about the house Rachel and Shane just bought and remodeled and the level of finishes they put into that house and compare it to the recent house Shawn bought, but Shawn was remodeling for his rental. Two different types of remodels. Two different mindsets going into those remodels.

On this episode we talk about selling your house in this crazy market and how the market is shifting a little.  Rachel and Shane just got done selling their house in this crazy market and how frustrating selling right now can be!

On this episode we go over the crazy experience that all three of us had.  Rachel & Shane bought a house with the help of Shawn and Sh*t got weird.  But the team work of us and Shawn made it all happen.  This market is still a little crazy, but buying a house still happen.

Living in the Phoenix metro area you will realize very quickly that Phoenix is a resort style city.  A lot of people visit here solely because of the resorts, spas, night life and golf that is offered all over the valley.  What a lot of people don't know is that, a lot of resorts have "local specials" during the off peak seasons that allow the locals to enjoy what all the vactioners come to the valley to enjoy.  That's what we dive into on this episode.   

In today's episode we talk about all the things you can do during the summer in Arizona.  To some peoples surprise... It's not much different then any other time during the year, you just have to be prepared.  It's hot but manageable.  Also, we dive into the only thing hotter than and Arizona Summer and that's Arizona's Housing market.  We discuss and give a market update and the fact that Rachel and Shane are buying a house tells you that this market isn't slowing down anytime soon!
