<p>As an agent, we strive to work to our full diligence to not only support ourselves and families, but it’s the time and the spirit to give those who deserve best. I have supported many charities over the years in volunteering, giving items they need, or make a small donation.  I feel there is more work to be done for charities we support. That said, I want to make a generous offer for future clients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;font-weight: normal"><a href="http://www.scottsdaleparadise.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/valley-view.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2862" src="http://www.scottsdaleparadise.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/valley-view-300x202.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="202" /></a>Today, many people are in a transitional mode where they relocate to a community where they don’t know a soul. I had those experiences multiple times in my life time. You have to understand the transition is never an easy process, but you have to find ways to understand about yourself, who you are and the groups that you may want to be part of to get acquainted.</span></h1>
<div>
<p>My very first experience was when I transferred high schools. I transferred to a school where I didn’t know anybody. Almost everybody didn’t have that experience during their younger years.  Second, I went to a college where I also didn’t know anyone. Most people and friends I knew during my high school years didn’t have to experience it as they didn’t travel far to obtain higher education. I grew up in a community where the majority of these folks would go to the same school, an hour south and knew many people before they even stepped foot on campus. I went to a small college in out-of-state where nobody in my original area went.  Upon my move from my home state of Ohio, I knew people already from the source from transplanted family members, and it was already much easier in the process.</p>
<p>Some of you will have your experience for the first time ever if you relocate to a community like Scottsdale or Phoenix, and not know anyone.  From my numerous of experiences, and my new involvements, I can advise you some of the things you need to do in meeting new people, so will become a very easy experience for you.</p>
<p>For example, I feel this is the best time of year to meet people. I would say that especially if you are relocating to “the valley” from the midwest part of our country like Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois or even Ohio, where you went to a major college in one of these states. If you didn’t go to a major college, but are college football fan of a major program in one of these states, it’s not a problem. So many people all over the country have transplanted to “the valley”, where many collegiate alumni networking groups have formed, where you can join, get involved, and get active! You do not have to go to that particular school. This page below has all the details.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Valley Alumni" href="http://azvalleyhomes4u.com/collegiate-alumni-clubs-associations/">Valley Metro Alumni Groups</a></strong></p>
<p>Perhaps, you want to learn more about your community like Scottsdale. There are several organizations to look into including:</p>
<p><strong><a title="North Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce" href="http://www.northscottsdalechamber.org/">North Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce" href="http://www.scottsdalechamber.com/eoffice/taf/_sacc2.taf?mnid=sacchome&amp;smid=0&amp;vurl=scottsdalechamber">Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce</a></strong></p>
<p>If you are into recreation and athletics, the City of Scottsdale provides numerous of leagues.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Scottsdale Athletics and Recreation" href="http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/sports">Scottsdale Athletics and Recreation</a></strong></p>
<p>There are many organizations to choose from networking groups, social groups, and collegiate alumni networking groups. These links are one of a few where you can connect your new community! You can also check out Meetup pages for Scottsdale.</p>
<p><a title="Meetup" href="http://www.meetup.com/find/?keywords=&amp;mcId=&amp;mcName=&amp;lat=&amp;lon=&amp;userFreeform=Scottsdale&amp;gcResults=Scottsdale%2C+AZ%2C+USA%3AUS%3AAZ%3AMaricopa%3AScottsdale%3Anull%3Anull%3A33.4941704%3A-111.9260519&amp;op=search"><strong>Meetup Groups in Scottsdale and Phoenix</strong></a></p>
<p>Before you get acquainted with your new community, you need a place to live! If you are looking for a place to rent, there are many condominiums to choose from!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite sources for solid information on the Arizona real estate market, <a title="The Cromford Report" href="http://bethahickey.com/" target="_self">The Cromford Report</a>,  had an interesting article on where foreclosures are most prominent.     These numbers can have impacts on values (obviously), but also on the  neighborhoods in which they occur (including the HOA; if you&#8217;re buying  or selling, we need to discuss HOA issues).</p>
<p>On  average, 21.2% of single family homes have received at least one  Notice of Trustee Sale (the bank is letting you know that you have an  auction date) since the beginning of 2006.  !!!!!</p>
<p>On average, 12.6% of the  single family homes in Maricopa County have   been foreclosed (ie the bank took them back) with a  recorded Trustee  Deed since the beginning of  2006.  That&#8217;s just over one in eight  homes.  !!!!!  NOTE:  there are some 1,300 or  so unrecorded Trustee  Deeds as of December 22.</p>
<p>So where in the Valley has this foreclosure percentage been highest?   Here are the top 10 zip codes with the highest foreclosure rates:</p>
<p>1-85043 Phoenix</p>
<p>2-85353 Tolleson</p>
<p>3-85037 Phoenix</p>
<p>4-85335 El Mirage</p>
<p>5-85354 Tonopah</p>
<p>6-85326 Buckeye</p>
<p>7-85323 Avondale</p>
<p>8-85033 Phoenix</p>
<p>9-85379 Surprise</p>
<p>10-85031 Phoenix</p>
<p>All of these are in the West Valley; in fact, it isn&#8217;t until #24 that you find a property <em>not </em>in  the West Valley (it&#8217;s in S. Phx).    There&#8217;s also evidence that  foreclosure prevention attempts are not successful in these areas (or  maybe not attempted?).</p>
<p>We see that the two types of areas least affected by foreclosures are   those containing higher end homes and the 55+ communities. In many of   the luxury home areas there is evidence reflecting a higher success  rate in  avoiding foreclosure, most frequently through a short sale (or  maybe more aggressively or consistently pursued?).</p>
<p>It almost goes without saying that foreclosures have a direct effect  on  home pricing. Hence the ZIP Codes with the most foreclosures  are  usually those where home prices have fallen the most, while those with  lesser foreclosures have fallen the least. However, the relationship is  not  exact.</p>
<p>Sun City West 85375 has the  greatest preservation of $/SF across the  whole valley. But then it also  has had the lowest percentage of  foreclosures. Again looking for  anomalies we see that Chandler 85286  and 85249,  Gilbert 85233 and Mesa  85205 have preserved their pricing  better than would be expected based  on their foreclosure rates.</p>
<p>We can also see that many parts of the Southeast Valley,   particularly Tempe, Ahwatukee and South Chandler have preserved their   pricing much better than Maricopa County as a whole. This is also true   of most of the Northeast Valley.</p>
<p>It is true that foreclosures cause home prices to fall, but it is a <span style="text-decoration: underline"> vicious cycle</span> since it is also true that<span style="text-decoration: underline"> falling home prices cause  foreclosures &#8211; they cause more homes to go  underwater and their owners  to feel less motivated to maintain their  loan payments.</span></p>
<p><a title="What does this mean to you?" href="http://bethahickey.com/" target="_self">What does this mean to you?</a> It depends from what angle you&#8217;re  looking.  If you&#8217;re looking to short sell, we should look at the trends  in your neighborhood and act accordingly.  If you&#8217;re looking to buy, &#8216;a  deal&#8217; isn&#8217;t necessarily found in a neighborhood with high foreclosures.   A deal is a good price on a home you love in a neighborhood you&#8217;re  excited about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With soo many great reasons to visit or live in Scottsdale, Arizona&#8230;SHOPPING is its best asset! </p>
<p>All the way up and down Scottsdale road there are thousands of stores,  featured inside the many  shopping centers.  Kierland is one of the most beautiful outdoor malls in the vallley, with an excellent selection of stores including,  J.Crew, Victoria&#8217;s Secret, Anthropology (one of my favorites) Coldwater Creek, an enormous Border&#8217;s Books and many, many more great shops.  The restaurant selection is also abundant with 2 of Sam Foxs&#8217; restaurants, The Greene House &amp; North,  a Tommy Bahamas Restaurant,  Starbucks,  Cold Stone Creamery and a home town favorite , Zinc Bistro. The food is always delicious&#8211;must try the french fries, and a great wine selection&#8211;Zinc Bistro reminds me of being on the Titanic&#8211;it has that turn of the century feel, with very delicious and updated cuisine.</p>
<p>After a long day of shopping, you can visit any number of bars and restaurants, enjoy the cool air conditioning, rest your feet and spend some quality time while enjoying some good eats and drinks!</p>
<p>Across the street from Kierland, you will find a brand new, very fun and funky outdoor mall called the Scottsdale Quarter   <a href="http://www.scottsdalequarter.com/">http://www.scottsdalequarter.com/</a>  I  really love this new mall because it is home to the international clothing retailer H&amp;M, one of my favorites, and then West Elm and  William Sonoma Home&#8211;2 amazing home furnishing stores , one high end and one for the first time home buyer (West Elm is very similar to the Ikea look and feel  ) that are brought to us by the same corporation as the  Williams Sonoma stores. With plans for up to 10 chic, new restaurants.  The Oakville Grocery is already a huge hit, stay for lunch or just as easily grab a gourmet meal to go!</p>
<p>As your real estate professional for the Scottsdale/ Paradise Valley area&#8230;make sure you make an appointment with me, Wendy Cracchiolo, with eXp Realty, to preview some of the most beautiful homes that are flooding our market and the prices have never been so low.  Great selection and very motivated sellers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is no coincidence that Arizona became a state on Valentine&#8217;s day (February 14) in 1912!  There are so many things couples can do for relaxation and entertainment while in Arizona.  Don&#8217;t forget&#8211;only an hour flight to jet up to Vegas and make it legal!  From in town to all across the state&#8211;Arizona boasts the Grand Canyon,  Canyon de Chelly,  Lake Powell,  the Petrified Forest (not scary at all!!   lol)  and little hide away towns like the ultra romantic Sedona, the artys-fartsy Jerome, the totally cool and comfortable  Flagstaff, and the low-key Tucson,  among many other towns and cities in Arizona you don&#8217;t want to miss!</p>
<p>All the luxury hotels offer the best in spa services&#8211;have you and your partner ever enjoyed side by side massages in your hotel room?  Now that is a treat!  Men just need to get their first pedicure and they are hooked&#8211;ask the ladies&#8211;we know this secret!   Just pamper yourselves silly by day and go enjoy the incredible night life Scottsdale and all the other cities around have to offer!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I think of HOT cities, Scottsdale always comes to mind.  The land that offers the best of everything with  its endless supply of activities and entertainment!!  With the new market, where home prices have dropped 40% or more since 2007&#8211;even Real Estate can be bought at &#8220;HOT&#8221; prices.  Families love Scottsdale  too&#8211;because there is always something fun to do for everyone!</p>
<p>Also, don&#8217;t forget&#8211;Scottsdale is only an hour flight to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Fe!  Not only is it the best destination in the Southwest- people are never disappointed when they call Scottsdale, Arizona home. </p>
