  Good Evening Everyone, After one of the busiest fall buying seasons in recent memory, all of the sudden it's DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! I'm not sure where all the Buyers have gone but they sure don't seem to be heading to the White Mountains.  Maybe it's because it has been so nice down in the low land...

Why do things always have to happen on the weekends?  If something in your house is going to break, malfunction, or flood, it always happens on the weekend.  My latest disaster was a stool that didn't work properly and flooded my hall bath and part of the hallway.  I didn't even know about it unt...

I have been on a real dry spell lately for posting anything interesting on blog sites.  Why, because the market and anything related to it can be summed up in a few simple words.  Buyers Are Scarce Sellers lose hope Foreclosures keep dropping values Lending is Tight Lenders expect repairs on for...

I was thinking about what to do to help my sellers feel less discouraged.  I have several really nice listings in the White Mountains area and they get no traffic.  I've looked at the comps, I've priced them well, they show well, everything is right about them but still no one is looking at them....

The fire is not out yet and it won't be until it rains.  The firefighters are starting to get some containment on it and some of the evacuated residents have been allowed to return home.  The smoke is still bad though so even though they could go home it was recommended that those with breathing ...

The Wallow Fire in the White Mountains of Arizona continues to rage out of control.  I thought perhaps some of you would like a local perspective on this fire.  To put it in a word, it is a Monster! We didn't think 9 years ago when we lived through another monster fire that it could ever be worse...

Good Afternoon Everyone, Don't know if anyone besides me has noticed but the inventory of Homes For Sale is WAY down.  I had clients in town over the weekend and they were really disappointed to find that 2 of the 7 homes they wanted to see had sold between Wed. & Friday.  What homes we did view ...

AR REALLY DOES BRING IN BUSINESS! I have been busier than I have been in a long time and it is wonderful.  Much of that business is thanks to AR and the wonderful people who share their experiences on AR.  I have had several referrals lately from AR and I really appreciate every one of them and I...
