VALENTINE’S DAY MOMENTUM !!!

Of course we are coming up on Valentine’s Day. I do believe that it is
important to remember that special person or persons in our lives and
to make and effort to make them feel extra special. That is what is so
great about Valentine’s Day…it is a vehicle to accomplish that. Whether
it is flowers, perfume, candy, or some other type of present or nice
gesture, whatever that certain something is will almost certainly be very
well received. And that means for me, it will be well worth the effort. Yes,
I am actively working on my list!

But on a real estate note, and to be more specific in reference to our Green
Valley, Arizona market; it looks like Valentine’s Day is beginning to bring some
positive momentum to our area. Certainly, for those who are familiar with our
market, this time of year is termed our “season”(which means it is the most intensely
compressed time of the year for our area’s real estate sales activity). But, I do
believe the activity we are experiencing is greater than expected, considering everything
that is going on.

Our home sales numbers show that in a one year period between 2007 and 2008, 999 residential units were sold. While in the same corresponding one year period from 2008
until 2009, 758 units were sold. The active number of units available today is at 966,
which has become an average type figure for daily availability. I am thankful because I
do see well priced properties surprisingly moving at a rapid pace ; and I do not mean
just foreclosures or short sales. So that is a very good sign for our market. As you know,
you can not extrapolate real estate generalizations, in entirety, from one local market to
another. Local markets may have similar up and down trends in general, but are still site, location, and economically relative. We really enjoy this area, and if any of you or your clients are interested, please check out our website at: www.greenvalleyazsearch.com
