CASH is KING in TUCSON

In Tucson—-Cash is king!

An article in the Tucson newspaper in May is an interesting update on home financing. Although Tucson home prices are low, the financing is more difficult., so people are turning to—would you believe —CASH. The Tucson article states that through April of 2011 that 37% of sales have been cash. Many 2nd home buyers or investment buyers for rentals are finding our market very attractive. Not only are the Tucson buyers from many parts of the our country, but also many are from Canada. We know the Tucson market so allow us to guide you for immediate needs, or your needs in the future. We can also send you a Monthly Market update that will give you the best information on Tucson’s home prices. Send us your email address and you will receive the update monthly and not other info unless you request information that is more specific.Thank you for your interest, Ann Laurie

Tucson Arizona Housing

Housing in Tucson Arizona Our daily newspaper, The Arizona Daily Star, had an article on 4/14/11 targeting the Tucson housing market, and the jest of the article was that the sales of bank owned properties has pushed the median price range down 21% compared with March of 2010. This is certainly bad news for home sellers in Tucson, but an opportunity for those thinking of a winter home in Tucson or first time home buyers. The new restrictions for lenders not only in Tucson, but also nationally requires a Tucson home buyer to seek council from a lender prior to searching for their dream home in Tucson. When ‘Partners in Prime’ presents an offer, we are reacquired, by our company to have a status report from a lender. Not only does this prevent disappointment by buyers who may be looking above their price, but also, when an offer is presented with a status report from a lender, the seller pays more attention to the offer. Tucson has many lenders that we can recommend

Tucson Arizona Mexican Food

Tucson Arizona and Mexican food Casa Molina on Speedway in Tucson is, with out a doubt, one of our favorites. . We have enjoyed the food ,and the staff has become almost like family. It is not a fancy place and the prices are reasonable, so it truly is a great place to bring the whole family. Tucson has many other Mexican places so I will, from time to time, be giving reviews. Casa Molina on Speedway has a quaint patio so those in the know make a reservation. Don;t forget to ask for Hector—our favorite waiter.
