AUTUMN RAIN…WHERE IS IT?

Marty Dobos — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:07:36 +0000

Normally here… in beautiful Green Valley, Arizona, we are dodging the frequent cooling scattered showers that we know as the “monsoon season”. Routinely every summer usually beginning about July 4th to about the 6th or 7th of September, we are blessed with the very pleasant and entertaining spectacle of the monsoons. This year we are down about one third of the expected rainfall by this time year to date. Along with the anticipated moisture usually there is an accompanying electrical lightning storm. Laura loves to sit on the front porch and watch the show. Quite often the lightning puts on a spectacular display.

However, this year is a strange year for weather period. I was reading that Chicago had been averaging 69 to 70 degrees ….which is the coldest summer average temperature in over 65 years. Well, there is still time left to have more rainfall before the middle of September.
We are all waiting for it. In the meantime, it has been a sensational summer for outdoor sports and hiking-not to mention just plain old sightseeing.

We just got back from a day trip yesterday to Bisbee. It is an old mining town just south of Tombstone. Laura and I took some folks to Dot’s Diner. It is a great 50’s diner that was moved from California, installed in Bisbee along with a caravan of Air Stream trailers that are configured into a bed and breakfast. Dot’s serves great burgers and breakfast in the small vintage diner…I did cheat on my diet and had one of their sensational old time chocolate malts complete with whip cream and a cherry! There are so many fun places to visit once you are situated here and find out where they are.

The real estate market is picking up here. We have closed two houses recently. It is turning out to be a much better year than last year for the real estate market here in Green Valley. Well, I hope you will visit us on our website: www.greenvalleyazsearch.com (I will save the statistics for you next month) We look forward to meeting you personally…and possibly showing you a home or two!

WHEN THE BAR B QUE IS OVER…TURN OUT THE LIGHTS!

Marty Dobos — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:21:37 +0000

It is our sincere desire that everyone throughly enjoyed this years Independence Day celebration. We actually worked with some clients, who are great people and we really enjoyed their company…. then afterwards, we spent the rest of the afternoon with some other friends partaking in a traditional hamburger and hot dog affair. Wow, 233 years of freedom…that seems like a long time, yet on the other hand, it seems like a very short time in the scope of history. I sincerely hope we can maintain our freedom and independence. We are most certainly living in a period of real uncertainty and instability. So when you can at least stabilize your housing situation it is a wise thing to do. Our housing market in Green Valley is seeminly holding steady. After all, this is July, our monsoon season is in full bloom….that means some sprinkles and some temperature relief.

Our daily inventory stands at 781, which is about normal for this time of year. Calendar year sales from 2008 to 2009 to date have us at 707 homes sold. In the same time period from 2007 to 2008, 896 homes were sold. So with these figures to ponder, I am quite happy at the way that the numbers are unfolding. We are happy to report that the wonderful couple we met on the 4th, have become friends and future Green Valley neighbors. We heartily welcome them to our community. Please visit us at our website; www.greenvalleyazsearch.com We would love to hear from you!

EAT IN GREEN VALLEY…THEN BUY A HOME!

With so much of the financials dominating the news, why not change around the focus and emphasis a bit. Green Valley, Arizona is not only a very interesting and beautiful place to call home, but a quiet place to enjoy having a meal.

If you are on the budget side, there is of course our friendly neighborhood McDonalds or maybe our local Whopper. If you want to elevate a bit, try our hometown Arby’s or the newer Carl’s Jr. in the Super Wal Mart Center. I dare not forget the Taco Bell by the Desert Sky Cinemas.
Should someone want down home style cooking, there is Mama’s in the Continental Center…right around the corner from our office. Also, you might give Donna’s Diner a shot, they are right off Esperanza. And Before you find them you will run into the Arizona Family Restaurant.

For the more adventurous diner, there are three Mexican restaurants. First you have La Placita right off Esperanza. Next up is Manuel’s which is located on W. Duvall Road, near the Jim Click Ford dealership. And then you have Florentino’s next to Ashley furniture on Duvall Mine Road. A few doors down from Ashley’s is Solarus, which is a great steakhouse, salad and sandwich sit down restaurant. If you are looking for Italian, you may want to visit Ragazzi’s on Esperanza. Also, Florentino’s on Duval or Trivetti’s on Continental.

If you are visiting the recreation centers, the Coyote Grill at the San Igncaio Golf Club is great as well as the Grill at Canoa Ranch Golf Course. Please don’t forget the Grill at Quail Creek because they have great food also.

Well, you have notice I have neglected to mention Chinese food. One might choose China Vics in the Continental Center. You might also like China View off of Esperanza. Also, there is a Panda Restaurant in the Basha’s Shopping Center. And finally, top off your meal with a Dairy Queen at Duvall Mine Road or Kokopelli’s Gelato on Continental Road.

Now that you have had a relaxing meal here, give us a call and buy a home in Green Valley. Find us at our website: http://www.greenvalleyazsearch.com/

MARCH WINDS!

Marty Dobos — Tue, 12 May 2009 18:16:15 +0000

When March arrives it frequently brings the windy season along with it. I can remember when
I was a young boy and my parents would take me kiting. That brings back a lot of great memories. This year March seems to carry the quickly moving change theme in it’s wings. Unfortunately for most of us, the market does not seem to like the direction of the proposed changes. But, my oh my, how easily the real estate market can be impacted by proposed changes. One thing for sure, we need to see is the mortgage deduction to remain free from political compromising. In our free market system, if the home mortgage deduction is an accross the board principle that is available for everyone, then a mortgage deduction is a surety or a foundation for the concept that if you invest in a home, then you can surely deduct the amount of interest that you pay on your principal. Any investor would want to know that this tax deduction mechanism should remain immutable and irrevocable. This principle provides a strong fundamental incentive for people to invest in home ownership.

However, if a policy were to arise, that would state that certain people in a specified economic category would lose some or potentially all of their interest on principal, then….it would obviously follow that it would have very, very negative implications for the housing market and potential investors. In other words, NO ONE COULD BE ASSUSRED THAT THEIR INDIVIDUAL INCOME LEVEL MIGHT NOT SEE THEIR INTEREST DEDUCTABILITY IN PERIL! This is just one of the reasons for some of the continued doubt or lack of confidence in the housing market. Of course there are other factors. However, if you are looking for a place to settle down, and have cash or are qualified by a lender, then for you this is a great market! In the Green Valley, Arizona market, between 2007 and 2008 we had 1009 sales in our local MLS. Within the same time period of 2008 to date in 2009. we had 735 sales in our Green Valley MLS. Our downward direction is holding steady at about a 28% clip. The availability of new housing also provides a great opportunity for homebuyers to our area. We love this area and look forward to helping any of you that are looking for a great place to live! Visit us at our website: http://www.greenvalleyazsearch.com/
