:: A WORD FROM L.D. ::

This is a great show of western paintings, hope all of you enjoy this. I’m away this week at the NFR but will be back on Monday. Reklax and enjoy the show.

Thanks,

L.D.

We are seeing some good trends in the Real Estate market lately. Although the news doesn’t portray it we have seen a definate increase in Buyer activity.

This doesn’t mean that prices are rising but people are getting back in the market as it is so good, even investors are buying.

There is room for all, investors and first time home buyers, or any one buying, it is  a great time.

If you have any questions as to how to become a Buyer, I can help you, there are many programs out there now including down payment assistance and closing cost assistance.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

 L.D.

As you watch the news every morning you must keep in mind that you are watching National News on our economy. The west coast usually is the first and then the trend travels to the east coast, and the news you see  is from the normally from east coast. 

Just today I watched the news where I beieve  they said that homeowners were not ready to take the 20% to 30% reduction on their homes, but here we have already done that, so what applies there does not neccesarily apply here.

Arizona was one of the most rapidly growing housing markets, but as fast as we went up we have adjusted downward.

Our prices are below market, and you also have to take into consideration our State and location. Not only are we the 3rd fastest growing State in the Country, but Pinal County is the 3rd fastest growing county.

One of these reasons is because we are affordable and our location.

Check Pinal County and Arizona out if you are looking for opportunity

WE ARE SEEING  A GREAT DEAL OF COMMERCIAL COMING INTO THE CASA GRANDE, ELOY AREAS ALONG I-10. THIS IS  ALSO KNOWN AS THE “GOLDEN CORRIDOR” AND IT IS GROWING AT A RAPID PACE.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE AS AN OFFICE IN THAT ALTHOUGH THE MARKET IS NOT WHAT IS WAS, IT IS BETTER THAN WHAT I FEEL YOU SEE ON THE NEWS MOST DAYS. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MY CLIENTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD IN REFFERING ALL THEIR FRIENDS TO ME. OUR SALES SEEM TO BE PICKING UP SLOWLY BUT SURELY. THAT IS A GOOD THING AS IT SHOWS WE ARE ON THE PATH TO A REALISTIC REAL ESTATE MARKET THAT IS FAIR FOR ALL AND IS ON THE RISE. 

ONCE A YEAR OUR ENTIRE FAMILY GATHERS AT THIS TIME AND HAVE A GET TOGETHER  ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTS IN A MOBILE HOME  PARK THAT MY GRANDPARENTS DEVELOPED MANY YEARS AGO.

ALTHOUGH THE LAST OF MY GRANDPARENTS  JUST RECENTLY DIED WE AS A FAMILY HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON WITH WHAT HAS BECOME THE ANNUAL CUSTOMER APPERCIATION PARTY. EVERYONE IN THE PARK AND OUR FAMILY GATHER TOGETHER AT THE CLUB HOUSE  FOR FOOD AND DRINK AND THE CHANCE TO VISIT.

IT WAS SUCH A GORGEOUS DAY OUT THAT MY KIDS AND AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY PLAYED FOOTBALL, AND JUST HAD AN ALL AROUND GREAT TIME JUST BEING AND PLAYING TOGETHER AT THE PARTY. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT DAY TOO AND HAVE A GOOD WEEK.

AS ALWAYS I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND I AM HERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR REAL ESTATE NEEDS.

SINCERELY,

L.D. HAWKINS 

 

 

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I WENT SNOW BOARDING. BEING A NATIVE OF CENTRAL ARIZONA IT IS NOT AN AREA THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH. ALTHOUGH I HAVE SKIED, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR SNOW BOARDING. ONE THING I DID LEARN IS THAT MY 7 & 6 YEAR OLD BOYS WERE FAR SUPERIOR AT THIS SPORT THAN I WAS. IT IS AMAZING AT WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR FIRST TIME OUT AND IN 2 DAYS THEY LOOKED LIKE PROS.

JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WE ATTENDED SKY DIVE ARIZONA AT THEIR WIND TUNNEL. ONCE AGAIN IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW FAST YOUR KIDS ADAPT AND CATCH ON. A 5 MINUTE LESSON AND THEY HAD IT, MAKES YOU REALIZE HOW SMART KIDS ARE.

WE HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN STATE AND YOU DON’T REALIZE IT UNTIL YOU START LOOKING IN TO IT, ARIZONA HAS A LOT TO OFFER. WE HAVE ALL THE CLIMATES, DIFFERENT CULTURES, DESERT, MOUNTAINS, YOU NAME IT, WE ARE A GREAT STATE AND A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. COME VISIT  US.

THE WEATHER IS GREAT TODAY WHICH IS  FRIDAY BUT WEDNESDAY WHEN I WENT OUT TO THE PHOENIX OPEN AS A GUEST IT WAS COLD, RAINING HARD AND NOT WHAT WE AS THE SUNSHINE STATE ADVERTISE.

FORTUNATELY WE WILL REDEEM OUR OURSELVES IN THAT TODAY AND THIS WEKEND WILL BE GORGEOUS AND THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS WHEN IT COMES TO WEATHER IN THE WINTER.

THIS IS A BIG WEEKEND ALSO WITH THE SUPER BOWL ON SUNDAY. SUPER BOWL DAY PEDOMINENTLY IS A SLOW DAY IN REAL ESTATE AS PEOPLE FROM ABOUT 2:00 ON ARE INVOLVED IN PARTICIPATING AND WATCHING THE GAME.

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND ENJOY BOTH EVENTS.

IF YOU ARE NOT DOING EITHER AND NEED TO BUY OR SELL A HOME IN CENTRAL ARIZONA GIVE ME A CALL.

TALK TO YOU SOON
