Meritage Homes for Sale in Province - Province Homes For Sale

One area that I have often shown homes, especially to winter visitors or retirees are the Meritage homes for sale at Province in Maricopa, Arizona. These homes are beautifully crafted, but more importantly offer energy saving construction methods. With built in solar panels, a winter visitor can set their thermostats so that the energy saved and purchased back by the electric company during the summer months pays for their winter electicity use. These homes are priced from around $190,000. The Province master planned community offers walking and jogging trails throughout the neighborhood, heated pools and spa, workout center and club house. The Duke Golf Course is located just outside this beautifully landscaped gated communitiy. Housing prices are going up and it looks like that trend is not going to waiver especially during the winter months when their inventory goes down and demand goes up.

There was a surge on home sales in the the Phoenix Metro area making a speculation about a third dip in Phoenix home prices to be untrue! The medium home price went up and the rate of homes sales also rose. In the month of June, the market experienced the largest number of homes sold since 2006 NOT including foreclosure auction homes sold by lenders. For those sitting on the fence post waiting for prices to fall further, you might have missed your opportunity to buy at the bottom…. If only we had a crystal ball…. But, there no reason to not pay attention to the writing on the wall. Short sales are bringing in more than the asking price raising appraisal values. Lenders are having to adjust to this and are often lending money to meet the sales price rather than the buyer having to make up the difference between the sales price and the appraised value.

It costs the buyer nothing to use a licensed Realtor to help represent you when purchasing a new or re-sale home. We have been in the valley for over thirty years and our extensive knowlege of the area can provide you with a search for the perfect location and home to suite your specific needs. As well as guiding you throughout the buying process. Let us show you Province homes for sale in Maricopa, Arizona.

"The Art of Racing in the Rain" - A touching book with a great message

"The Art of Racing in The Rain" - A touching book with a great meassage (2) (edit/delete)
As I've pondered my relationship with my husband, I realized I needed to ponder my relationship with myself first! When we first met, 9 years ago, I was in shape. I ran the LA marathon (my first) in 2000 and had continued training and working out with the help of a private exercise consultant. I felt awesome. I was positive in thought, smiling most of the time, and just plan jazzed about life. I remember sitting on my couch in my lovely living room watching a favorite movie one Friday night thinking to myself, "I love my life - my dog - my job - my home - my kids - my family. I'm really OK being alone". I really thought I had it all.....and then, exactly a week later I met Al. I was on a high like I had never experienced. We have so much in common - and we both agreed that "Casa Blanca" is without a doubt the all time best movie ever and has a string of the greatest lines ever written. He is a retired NCIS agent turned Realtor! Two years after we married, we both decided we needed to do something to bolster our income when I retired from being a high school counselor. The market was at its peak. Real estate school classes were filled with young kids fresh out of high school! It was a trip especially given our previous professions! So began the frustrating adventure of being Realtors in an unprecedented downward bound market. We managed to make enough sales as to not be admonished by our firm and with the business write-offs it seemed almost lucrative! Now, the but.....I stopped my routine of working out and running. I gained 15 pounds which I refered to as happiness weight - ha! As the endorphins began to wane so did my smile. For the first time in my life, I had the neatest, most compatible, handsome, intelligent, sweetest man I could ever want in my life and I was not happy. When you don't feel good about yourself, you don't like yourself, it's hard to show love, passion, compassion and happiness with others. I'm a little slow on the uptake and this feeling of demise and depression crept up on me like a tsunami. "That which you manifest is before you." It's amazing how hard it is to finally make that decision to do something about your "poor pathetic life" that is really perfect if you could get your head out of your ___. One day at a time. What great advise. My race is not competitive with anyone but myself. It's just a matter of following a simple plan, taking it one day at a time, and doing my best not to waiver but to saver.
