As the real estate market heads towards its rebound, I hear stories from clients, customers, brokers, other agents, news media, lenders, title companies and last but not least the government. I have to admit that I am finding myself on information overload. I hear one thing, but the stats show something else.Yes, the market in Arizona is in a rebound mode, with prices turning slightly higher and holding (due to lack of inventory) and foreclosures are down, which means the lenders are finally working with the distressed homeowners. I am grateful, but I am also apprehensive. I have been receiving information from lenders that lending on 540 credit scores is back, and not to insult anyone, because I also believe the credit reporting agencies are a joke; I see us heading down the same road we were just traveling, as 2006 came crashing down around us.
I am hopeful that the real estate market climbs at a steady, but strong pace, maybe not going over the 7 - 9% thresh hold per year.
Lenders and agents alike are spreading the word to clients that it is going to cost more to buy if you don't find your property now. I was asked by a client how that is and what is meant by that. The answer is straight forward. Interest rates are inevitably going to rise. This means if you don't buy now while the rates are low, the purchase will end up costing you more in the long run.
On a lighter and more jovial note, summer is almost gone in Arizona. The temps will soon be cooling off and the desert will come to life again. The Desert Botanical Gardens has a wonderful planting calendar with beautiful photos and planting ideas for the desert for every season of the year. If you have been looking for some good landscaping ideas, this is a terrific resource.

It's Subtle But Impacting!
As one of the many real estate agents out there, I have to ask you: Have you ever entered a home, be it bank owned, short sale or traditional, that just had an overwhelmingly displaced or disturbing energy? Have you ever listed a home for a homeowner who just loved their home and the place just does not sell? It's not because of the price... it's because of the homeowner's love and attached energy that this property does not sell.
Houses, like furniture, jewelry, and other tangible objects have the ability to withhold energy in them - good, bad and everything in between. When a perspective homebuyer walks into a home, they can love the layout, the colors, and everything about it, even the price but for some reason, they are not compelled to make an offer. This is because of the subtle energies trapped within the home.
Next week, I will blog about some real life stories that can be verified about how I have gone in and cleansed and cleared the energy in a home to bring in an offer.
Until then, stay tuned and happy house hunting and selling.
