Take a look at the story below about Paradise Valley. For a long time the city has been immune to the rest of the market. There are some significant adjustments that are happening now. The great thing about it is that Paradise Valley has never been a city to where someone that could only afford 750K to 1.2 million could live comfortably. Before those were tear down prices… Things are looking much better for those buyers. There is no doubt that Paradise Valley will bounce back but many agree that the Ultra Premium Mega Mansion days may be over in Paradise Valley.

What's in Your Trunk? Some People Are Just Way too Fun!   Ok I get that this looks a bit odd - ok maybe really weird? Who the heck drives around with a bunch of banana suits and banana's in their car trunk?  Not your everyday Real Estate Broker, right? Here's the story..... We're in the process of moving to our new office this month.  While the guys were lifting all the heavy stuff I decided that it would be a good idea to take all the banana suits home for storage since there is no place for them at the new office.  That was a couple of weeks ago.  I forgot I had put the banana suits in the trunk. Early Wednesday morning (5:30 to be exact) I was all packed and ready to go to the AAR convention up in Prescott Arizona.  I had one suitcase, my laptop bag and winter coats and hats - just i... 03/13/2010
