South Phoenix Realtor® Moving to Arizona You may not know this, but I have lived in South Phoenix for decades, ever since 1981. When my family initially moved to Phoenix, we lived in Central Phoenix. We stayed with one of my dad's friends and his family, someone that he had met back in Mexico. His home was near Central Avenue and Indian School Road. We only stayed there for a few months. It wasn't long before my parents saved enough money to get our own place. That turned out to be a rental house near 16th Street and Southern. I remember my parents shopping for furniture for that house. In my mind's eye the … [Read more...]

South Phoenix Restaurants
South Phoenix Restaurants The selection of South Phoenix Restaurants has increased over the years. I have lived in South Phoenix since 1981. Even though eating out was not a frequent thing for our family, I do remember being aware that there were just a few places to choose from. I feel like there is still room for so much more here. We have more than enough fast food places, we don't need more of those. And I do wish we had a Pita Jungle or True Food Kitchen here. Or something similar. Nonetheless, there are some pretty fabulous places to choose from if you are looking to go out to eat. Mexican food … [Read more...]
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot Here is the May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot. Some of our Phoenix neighborhoods are performing as very strong sellers markets. A sellers market is typically marked by limited inventory, multiple offers on homes, and offers above the list price. It is extremely competitive out there. If you are thinking of buying a home, make sure you are fully prepared before beginning your home search. Compared to last month's number of just over 14,000 active listings, that number has decreased dramatically. Our MLS is just at over 11,000 active listings.

Will The Phoenix Real Estate Market Crash?
Will The Phoenix Real Estate Market Crash? The question that we have been asked repeatedly these past few weeks is whether our real estate market will crash like it did during the recession in 2008. We honestly do not see that happening. Who knows what our market will be like in one year. But right now, things are moving along. Prior to the COVID-19 development, we were in a seriously strong sellers market for at least a year or more. Particularly in the lower price brackets. We're talking multiple offers, offers above list price, super strong competition for the little inventory that was available. Even with … [Read more...]
The Choices I Made Led Me to Real Estate
Opportunity You know, growing up, it never once crossed my mind to become a real estate agent. I remember wanting to be a teacher. Both of my parents worked tirelessly, going to work every single work day without complaint. My mom worked in housekeeping at a resort, my dad works in automotive collision repair. They always stressed to get an education, stay in school. That would lead to a good paying job. It was one of the main reasons that they moved our family to the United States from Mexico. Opportunity. First Job I was a senior in high school when I was offered my first job. The job was working in the … [Read more...]
