What happens when there is a sustained power grid failure in the summertime? Can you imagine the panic of over 4 million people trying to escape! That's only if the water reserves don't run out before everyone has to leave permanently. Something to bear in mind before moving and investing in a home in Phoenix.
Moved here a year ago. Louisana felt hotter and had nothing. Charlotte had the worst traffic ever. Cicinnati was ok, but that’s biased. I love it here!
Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Phoenix in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Annette Marie Holt for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She’s right about the golf courses, years and years ago I was playing Gold Canyon. The Dinosaur course and I probably started around 8 AM and the Ranger was following me and I got to turn to get some refreshments and I asked him why are you following me he said, because you’re only halfway done with your round and it’s gonna be 115° by time you’re done I’m following you just in case you fall out. I went to the clubhouse and got a rain check for last nine holes.
They made Phoenix into an oven, just keep putting down an asphalt and see how bad it gets Don’t forget to keep building like you’re doing either. Was a beautiful place once, but now it’s ruined.
We had to install a new roof before we installed our 30 panel solar system with 2 Tesla batteries. So we are never on the grid at night because of the batteries. We paid for the system that does have a 10 year warrenty. The roof and solar system was 60,000 and the energy we sell to SCE pays us about 2,000 per year with no monthly energy bill. I know it will take years to break even but our roof was 40 years old and we needed it anyway. Before this upgrade we were paying 175$ to 450$ per mo.
Download this app 511 Arizona for construction updates. Thank you for addressing the complete mess, that is, shutting down the highway for construction (and then limiting access points and detours for drivers to take).
The Problem I think is some have one person cover Rent and what not well it's time to as they say Share the Burden! everyone in the household need to put in else you will be out!
I've been living in Chandler for 12 years, I came to this video looking for the worst neighborhoods to avoid and walked away with a history lesson on some of the nicest neighborhoods in the Metro Phoenix area. Very interesting content.
Kind of an old story: a place has great attraction, then everyone moves there, and it is no longer so attractive! No place is perfect and big cities everywhere are having common programs with crime, homelessness, etc. Same here in Portland. I will,however, take Portland''s glorious summers over Phoenix - just don't ask be about the long, gray rainy other seasons.
Exactly. People are funny. They didn’t like it ‘there’ so they moved ‘here’ only to find they didn’t like it ‘here’ after all, so they tried to make ‘here’ like ‘there’, fail miserably for one reason or another, then move to a new ‘here’ and repeat the same cycle. Texas went through their little ‘renaissance’ period also. I have several friends/relatives that have lived there 20+ years and each of them say it was the biggest mistake they ever made. I guess where ever you live, is ‘home’.
I lived in PHX for about a decade and finally left. The heat, the road rage, the surge in population was just too much. I had a great time while living there but it was time to move on. Each one of these things that Shawn has mentioned in the video are spot on.
Extraordinary advice🎉🎉🎉 I wish more information like this would be shared by agents. I strongly suggest researching the builder’s reputation prior to making an offer. I was severely burned by what appeared to be a reputable builder in the 80’s before you could get those details.
The heat isn't bad when the humidity is low. The temperatures stay below 110. Also the heat doesn't feel all that bad either. However, when the clockwise system over the Sierra Madre's in Mexico sets up, the humid air from the Gulf of Mexico streams across Mexico. That humid air then enters the American southwest. With water vapor being a very strong green house gas, it causes the temperature to go up past 110. This coupled with the ever growing metropolitan area makes Phoenix unbearable in late June to August. Evaporative cooling doesn't work very well with humid air. So swamp coolers and sweating isn't as effective during Phoenix's humid portion of it's summer. Before the humidity arrives and after it leaves, Phoenix's summer is quite bearable. Swamp coolers and sweating work very well.
When realtors describe an industry they think they know about but don't. So much misinformation in this video. Stick in your lane woman. Focus on why the NAR was sued and how your ridiculous commissions are going down.
While there are issues, I have lived in Scottsdale for 11 years. I have lived in a large city in the past. It is another large city…overall, I love living here!!!!
I can help... 1) Democrats 2) Democrats 3) Democrats 4) Democrats 5) Democrats... Shall I continue, there's at least another several million answers left.. Arizona was once one of the best states in America. Now it's the washed out landfill of California's liberal filth!
