Fountain Park Fountain Hills, AZ Sunday is walk around the Fountain Park day for many Fountain Hills Residents. Some walk others might rollerblade or bike it. Today the weather is perfect for it. It's the middle of June and we had an unusually cool day.     A low of 65 degrees and a high of just 91 degrees. I wanted to take a video of what it's like to walk around the Fountain Park but that would have taken way to long. So being the creative TechnoRealtor I rigged my Sonie Bloggie with a magnetic tripod by Joby called a magnetic Gorillapod. It worked really good so expect future WheelEstate from me. Hope you like the walk About! The Fountain Park Fountain Hills, AZ features What used to be the the World's Tallest Fountain. It's been topped by a Fountain in Dubai. (Could you have guessed...

Living with Javelina,   Javalina, Myths and My Experiences.   Javelina are common visitors to the residents of Fountain Hills and Rio Verde.   I've hunted Javelina in the Archery season for 25 years when I was younger. I now prefer to just enjoy them rather than eat them. The Javelina are far from endangered and infact expanding in numbers and territory. I've seen Javelina as far north as Payson, AZ and have heard stories of sightings even further to the North. Generally it's thought of a desert creature. Javelina are curious by nature. They have very poor eyesight but a great ability to hear and smell. When intimidated their hair stands up, they emit a skunk type smell from the gland on the top of the butt. Sometimes they clack their teeth making a sound all most like to rocks being ba...

What a difference a year can make. According to the Cromford Report real estate statistics for Fountain Hills from March 2009 thru March 2010, the inventory has been reduced, the sales price per square foot has remained level and the foreclosure notices have increased. Since the beginning of 2010, sales per month has had a major upswing.  It appears that the real estate market here in Fountain Hills as with most other cities that comprise the greater Phoenix merto area know as "Valley of the Sun"  has been very active as investors, first time home buyers and people relocating have jumped in to the market to take advantage of the low prices and excellent interest rates.  If we look back to 2008 when the real estate market was very sluggish, there was almost a 30 months supply (Months Sup...

Radon gas is formed as underground deposits of radium slowly decay and decompose. Released radon gas can enter into houses through cracks and holes in the foundations. If ventilation is inadequate, radon can build up to very unhealthy levels, increasing the risk of lung cancer. Nearly every U.S. state has dwellings with measured radon levels above acceptable limits.
