Weekend Warrior | July 13 - July 14, 2024

Greetings, Weekend Warriors! 

We are officially in mid-July, with the beginning of the school year just around the corner. In fact, some of our Chandler schools picked up their books this week and will have full hallways by the end of next week. WILD how fast the summer has gone!

We had a great volunteer event last week over at Adams Elementary in Mesa - a huge thank you to everyone who helped make that day possible. The volunteers, the donations, it was amazing! And don't forget, we're still running our backpack drive through the end of next week so if you still have supplies to donate, drop off, or want to schedule. a pick up - message us at [email protected]! 

But don't worry, just because Summer is almost over (on the calendar, that is) we still have you covered on all the happenings around the valley and in some of our favorite neighborhoods - including Adora Trails where we popped in this month to do our market update. You can catch that and all the details on our big move this month, what's happening in your local market, and some of our top picks for events around the Valley, below!

Summer Might Be Quiet...Or it Might Be the Calm Before the Storm You've Been Waiting For

As we head into another HOT weekend in Arizona, I stopped by the indoor rec center in Adora Trails to cool off a bit and couldn't help but soak up all the beauty the Valley has to offer. It's not surprising when you step back and look around at the incredible growth we've experienced over the last decade that houses are more expensive and harder to find than they were just a few years ago. The good news is that we've got more tools in our tool boxes than ever before to navigate this changing market with you.

We've already started to approach a balanced market in the area which means that supply is starting to level off and any improvement in demand caused by falling interest rates could turn us right back around into a seller's market. I know I might sound like a broken record but when you see opportunity, you've got to talk about it - and I definitely feel like the quiet market is that opportunity for many of our area neighbors. We're seeing first time home buyers take advantage of massive credits towards down payments and closing costs, options to access equity in your primary open up, and more room for buyers and sellers to come to the table with a solution that really fits everyone's needs. 

We've also seen super low numbers of distress (read: foreclosures and pre-foreclosures) in 2024, which was a big concern going into the year, with the average credit of successful buyers higher than they’ve ever been. Now that we’re officially in this balanced territory, we can expect to see the continued leveling off of prices if and until demand picks up to a point where there are fewer houses than people who want to buy them. This calm before the storm creates opportunity for people who can afford it, plan to be in their home for a few years, and have some perceived job stability - is that you?

Our client consultations have always been intended to help you work through your options and really get to know your family's needs but now more than ever it's important that we sit down and review where you've come from, where you are at, and where you are headed - let us know if sitting down and strategizing how these updates impact you makes sense ❤️ .

New Office Coming Soon!

Just a couple months ago we announced our move to Real Brokerage and now it's time for some new digs! We are going to be moving from our office at Stearman Drive in Chandler to the Expansive complex just down the road. We are so excited for our new set up and will be inviting you to come by for a few open houses so that we can catch up. Keep an eye on your email or send us a message at [email protected] for the dates so you can get them on your calendar!
