This is not a public survey.  This is not a survey put out to the masses.  This is a  survey that I created after reading a Facebook post titled, "Do Solar Panels have value?"  The results of the answers were tallied and my expertise used to note the results. As a realtor specializing in sustainability, which obviously includes the recommendation and understanding of PV solar, I'm always trolling social media in the hopes of answering questions and providing information.  That understanding and information is provided as a means to the better and clearer purchase and sale of homes with solar panels, owned or not.  When I see a question posed or misinformation shared, my radar goes up and all else stops.  Misinformation is the betrayer of home sales.  If a feature is shared incorrectly o...

Electric Vehicles (EV) have become more and more prevalent as major auto makers adopt the technology.    As an owner of an EV, the most asked question I hear is, "How far can you drive?"  The most common anxiety IMHO is "range anxiety."  Drivers are worried about running out of power.  It's a valid reason, but once you own an EV, that will disappear when you get in the habit of mindfulness when it comes to charging.  That is, every night plan your next day's travel and check the remaining mileage on your battery.  If it's low, set a range to stop at 80%, plug it in, and it shuts off when charging is complete.  It's that simple.  Here's a list of things to consider when owning an EV. Tax credits may be available, depending on the make and model and State.  Check your local utility provid...

The sellers market continues in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Homes over $1 million are in short supply, selling quickly, and for well over list price.   As you can see during the last 3 1/2 years, supply dipped drastically in the spring 2021, putting upward pressure on prices.       Active Listings have recently ticked upward this year after record lows in 2021.  The number of active listings  over $1 million is still fewer than the beginning of 2021, and very low considering demand in Scottsdale. Demand for homes over $1 million in Scottsdale has escalated to 53% of homes selling for over list price.  There were 144 sales over $1 million in Scottsdale during the last 30 days.   Of that number, 76 were over list price.  This is the highest percentage of over list price by price category.   Cur...

Three Tips for First-Time Homebuyers Buying your first home is a major decision and an exciting milestone. Even though it can feel daunting at times, it has the power to change your life for the better. If you're looking to purchase your first home, you may be wondering what's happening in the housing market today, how much you need to save, and where to start. Here are three things that can help give you the information you need to confidently pursue your dream of homeownership. 1.

Are you LOOKING for a condo or townhome in Scottsdale Arizona?A condo is less expensive to buy than a single family home. I understand if you have been hesitant as the cost of a single family home is more expensive in Scottsdale than other cities in the Phoenix metro. In fact Scottsdale has the highest home prices of any city in Arizona with the exception of the neighboring town of Paradise Valley with 1+ acre estates. (Photo: Looking from from Pixabay)Why so expensive? Well Scottsdale is a great place to live. A suggestion? Try a condo or townhome to get started. It will still be expensive but less than a detached home. Condos and Townhomes are appreciating and later on you can buy a detached single family home.Whether living near the downtown entertainment district or Kierland, on a g...

Things That Could Help You Win a Bidding War on a Home With a limited number of homes for sale today and so many buyers looking to make a purchase before mortgage rates rise further, bidding wars are common. According to the latest report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), nationwide, homes are getting an average of 4.8 offers per sale. Here’s a look at how that breaks down state-by-state (see map below): The same report from NAR shows the average buyer made two offers before getting their third offer accepted. In this type of competitive housing market, it’s important to know what levers you can pull to help you beat the competition. While a real estate professional is your ultimate guide to presenting a strong offer, here are a few things you could consider. Offering ove...

Today’s Home Price Appreciation Is Great News for Existing Homeowners If you’re planning to sell your home this season, rising prices are great news for you. But it’s important to understand why prices are rising to begin with. One major factor is supply and demand. In any industry, when there are more buyers for an item than there are of that item available, prices naturally rise. In those situations, buyers are willing to pay more to get the product or service they’re looking for when options are scarce. And that’s exactly what’s happening in the current real estate market. Selma Hepp, Executive, Research & Insights and Deputy Chief Economist at CoreLogic, puts it like this: “With so few homes, buyers are once again left with fierce competition that’s driving the share of homes that s...
