Tish Tischer --   To be kind is to act lovingly - kindness is the answer to all our issues -- kind thoughts are selfless thoughts - egoless - Holy Spirit more.   We can forget and replace Love with intellect and come to believe that intellect is right -- unfortunately correct may not be Love.Resting in the arms of God, kindness comes naturally unfortunately in the immediate world often Ego (Fear and Judgment) interrupt the higher energy Love and cause us to turn from God. Selfless Power is God's power within us to carry the Holy Spirit to the world. We were perfect in God's eyes and only we can see it otherwise. As I stay in High Energy I can effect more Love and die to sin(turning away from Love). As we approach the celebration of the transfiguration of Christ, help me God to better se... 03/15/2008

Don't Wait -- Good Houses Get Sold -- when they are priced close enough to the market!  If you wait for the bottom you will miss the best houses and you miss the bottom.

Word on the street is that Shaq may be heading to the Phoenix Suns.  Shaq sold an approximately $30 million trophy property in Miami in 2007.  (unfortunately he did not use a $299 flat fee listing or else he could have saved perhaps $1 million)I took a brief look at the Phoenix MLS this morning and saw some very fine inventory in Paradise Valley at over $10 million.  Shaq, if you are interesting in seeing any of these properties, please give me a call at 480-471-9393:    Comparative Market Analysis     Property Type:   Residential       Status:   Active SubjectProperty                 # ML# Status Address Built Fe Code SqFt List Price LP/ SF ADOM CDOM 1  2879755  act  6136 N Kachina LN Paradise Valley  1997  913FBDXPSTQAO4+G  18364  $10,000,000  $545  90  90  2  2924538  act  5335 N WIL... 02/06/2008

Don't forget to sign up for my weekly newsletter.  My newsletter is designed to keep you updated with information like this:Risks favor:  Locking  as Prices Press Against a Brick Wall  Current Price of FNMA 6.0% Bond: $101.53, +3bp   The saying goes "Don't fight the Fed", and after favorable comments by Fed Chief Ben Bernanke in his speech last night, as well as a tame read on inflation this morning by way of the Core PCE, another Fed cut on December 11th is in the bag.  The question of whether the cut will be .25% or .50% should be highly influenced by next Friday's Jobs Report.   In other comments, Bernanke stated the housing slump and related mortgage problems are "adding greater than usual uncertainty to the economic outlook.  These developments have resulted in a further tightening... 11/30/2007

Risks favor:  Cautiously Floating as Bond trades just above support at 50-day Moving Average Current Price of FNMA 6.0% Bond:  $99.97 -3bp   Yesterday's Fed Meeting Minutes pressured Bonds lower - why?  The main reason was the less vigilant tone towards inflation.  The Fed didn't change their bias, but the fact that the Fed showed increasing concern on economic growth and was less vocal on the threat of inflation had Bond traders thinking that nobody is in the Bond's corner if inflation is allowed to emerge.Speaking of inflation, since the Fed rate cut in September, the value of the US Dollar has declined against foreign currencies and this is inflationary.  How?  The US Dollar's decline makes things overseas cost more because you need more US Dollars to purchase the same item.  This do... 10/10/2007

Risks favor: Cautiously Floating as Bond clings to support at 200-day Moving Average Current Price of FNMA 6.0% Bond:  $100.09, Unchanged   After trading beneath the 200-day Moving Average earlier this morning, Bond prices have now bounced back higher and are presently resting right on this important floor of support.   Sub-prime mortgage woes are back in the news this morning after Citigroup Bank forecasted a sharp decline in third-quarter profit and Switzerland 's largest bank, UBS SA, reported it would post a pretax loss of up to $690 million in the third quarter.  Both companies cited losses related to deteriorating conditions in Mortgage-Backed Securities, US Sub-prime mortgages and the credit markets overall. Traders are now waiting for this morning's important data on the health ... 10/01/2007

When looking for the perfect location for your custom luxury home, at first glance it may seem as though all the best lots are either taken, or too far away from where you want to be!  But Paradise Valley is a perfect location for a tear down and rebuild.  Paradise Valley is unique in that it is in near the center of the Phoenix Metro area, but is surrounded by mountains.  This makes it a highly desirable location, which is why there's a long list of local and national celebrities who call it home.  But many of the homes in Paradise Valley are old.  In some cases a lot with a home on it is worth little more than an empty lot!  This is a great situation in which to tear down the old home, and build the home of your dreams on the lot! Paradise Valley is a great place for an investment hom... 06/18/2007

The Phoenix area is home to enough celebrities and captains of industry that there's little notice when a high-end home sells. But you can be sure the transaction will get some media attention when there's a famous - or infamous - name attached. In this case, Mike Tyson.Tyson's home has been on the market with a listing price of $2.7 million. The property is in Paradise Valley, a suburb of Phoenix. One of my clients had made an offer on the house that was not accepted, so when I read about the recent sale at $2.34 million, I wondered if the buyer really got a good deal.     From the photos you might think it's a great price, especially when Paradise Valley has many beautiful homes with higher prices. The home's location at the end of a cul-de-sac and its magnificent views certainly mak... 04/17/2007
