Scottsdale Short Sales

Brian Culhane — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:18:37 +0000

Looking at the Scottsdale housing market, it’s very clear that Short Sales are dominating the sales of late…

If you are a buyer looking for a deal on a home, these are some of the best priced homes on the market…. BUT there is a catch: Only 5% of Short Sales ever sell. Why? you ask, because they have more moving parts than any other deal out there. In other words, ”You better have a buyer agent in your corner” that is skilled at navigating the tricky and often times lengthy process of getting offers to stick and getting these home through escrow.

Kierland During the Holidays

Brian Culhane — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:52:30 +0000

One of my favorite open air shopping centers is Kierland Commons in North Scottsdale.

My wife and I recently took our new baby son to his first stroller ride, and decided to take him to see Santa and the lights over at the Kierland Courtyard.

It’s one of the few places in Arizona that really goes all out for the holidays and for those of us who are transplants from back east, or up north, you know how sometimes the Holidays in Arizona can feel a little bit watered down. Especially when its 75 degrees and sunny.

Its nice to be able to go shopping under gorgeous lights strung up and holiday wreaths and festive decorations everywhere.

The hi-light of the day was not seeing Santa, but actually seeing Mrs. Claus and sitting in on one of her hourly “Story Times” where she sits on the hill with all the kids and reads from one of her many Storybooks.
For the adults, there is always plenty of people watching, up scale shopping and fine eateries, as well as some live music from a Holiday Band.

If you are in town over the Holidays and want to really get into the spirit of it all, then swing by Kierland Commons for some hot chocolate and some old fashioned Holiday fun.
