Own It Girl

For the first time in history the monthly average price of a single-family home in Phoenix (the city as defined by the USPS) has exceeded $509,000. One year ago, the average was just over $390,000 (that's over a 30% increase!)

Tom Ross with Bay Equity Home Loans discusses these stats with Diane Brennan with Coldwell Banker Realty and the value of that information and more, that the Cromford Report is so incredible delivering!

Also, how much does an Airbnb in Kyrgyzstan cost? The crew discusses that, Handmaid's Tale, how to clean your sinks and cotton balls soaked in vinegar.

Diva discusses a volunteer opportunity with United Food Bank and a fun thing to do at at West Alley BBQ. They have live music and BBQ in Chandler Silhouette.

Also, one interesting footnote from The Cromford Report's Tina Tamboer - CoreLogic predicted that home prices across the USA would FALL by 6.6% between June 2020 and June 2021. Possibly the most inaccurate forecast in their history. Tina's suggestion: Don't take any 12 month home price forecast any more seriously than a 12 month weather forecast!

On today's episode, Tom Ross is off this week, so Diane and Danielle have a "women only" show!

Diane Brennan with Coldwell Banker Realty will talk about some direct responses to some of the myths out there about this market being in some kind of "bubble". The myths couldn't be more false.

1. Today's mini-boom cannot be sustained
2. Few people foresaw the housing market crash 15 years ago that ignited a worldwide recession
3. Fueled by low interest rates, loose mortgage lending standards, and the nation's unshakeable faith in home ownership, home values rose at record rates year after year

We love the Cromford Report and they break apart these myths with some facts YOU need to hear about!
