I hope you had a nice holiday season. It is hard to believe it is now 2011. Happy New Year! 2010 was another pretty good sales year in the Metro Phoenix housing market. Interest rates were low, home prices were affordable, and there was a federal tax credit that helped build up buyer demand. December homes sales are expected to come in with a strong reading. These 4th quarter numbers compare favorably to what we saw at the close of 2009 (a record-setting year). It is very encouraging that home sales have picked up again at the end of the year. For 2011 we expect home sales volumes to slip a bit due to lower demand and rising mortgage rates. Home values may dip too as foreclosure lenders discount their prices to get their properties sold. Many people are asking when our real estate market will hit bottom and stop losing value. When the foreclosure and short sale inventories shrink, we will see more buyers of non-distressed, non-bank-owned homes which will

stabilize and eventually increase home values. WE need a marked improvement in employment opportunities to help struggling homeowners stay out of foreclosure while bringing in new buyers. Experts estimate the economy to take a big step forward in 2011. The other big factor influencing home sales and refinance activity is interest rates. Earlier this year we saw a six-month drop in mortgage rates that took us to historic lows. We recently saw those lower rates evaporate in just six weeks as the Federal Reserve implemented a program to create inflation to try to jump-start our ailing economy. As the economy improves next year, we will see mortgage rates rise. This is a clear signal to those wanting to refinance or purchase a home to do so as soon as possible to lock in a low mortgage rate before they bounce higher. The Federal Reserve has hinted at a raise in the prime rate in 2011, affecting those with a Home Equity Line of Credit. For those with existing mortgages, the start of the New Year is an excellent opportunity to review your mortgage options ahead of expected rate increases.

Your Home

If there’s one thing Arizonans can agree upon, it’s the fact that we have cornered the nation’s market on sunshine! In fact, protecting ourselves from the harsh summer sun has become almost an obsession. We busy ourselves with sunblock, sun visors, sun screens, sun shades and sunglasses. Water cooler talk turns to UVA, UVB, and SPF. We discuss sun spots, age spots, hot spots and cold spots! But with all the care taken to protect ourselves from the sun, how much thought have you given to adding a layer of “sunblock” to your home? If you’ve lived in Arizona for at least one summer, you no doubt drive a car that has tinted windows. Reserved for limousines and “cars of questionable character” in some parts of the country, auto tint is the absolute norm here in the Valley. So it only makes sense to consider protecting your home in the same fashion. The benefits of residential window tinting are many. Perhaps most important is the comfort factor. Today’s residential window films can reduce up to 99% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays and up to 78% of the solar heat that would otherwise travel right through your windows. That translates into cooler interiors and more comfortable living. Do you have a room in your home in which you suffer from annoying glare at any given time of the day? Turn that room into your favorite room in the house with the sun-cutting features of window films. As you can imagine, residential window films can substantially reduce your cooling and heating bills. Blocking that hot sun from ever penetrating the windows gives you a tremendous head start that blinds and curtains can’t compete with. Plus, in winter, the window films act as insulation for maximum heat retention. Window films can offer your home that extra touch of elegance and privacy. They can give your home’s exterior a uniform appearance and lend a rich and warm look to your interiors as well. If you desire a minimalist décor, window films can help you avoid the need for heavy window coverings. With 99% of the UV rays blocked, you’ll be protecting your home’s expensive interiors. Window coverings, furnishings, carpeting and wood flooring can take a real beating from the sun. Don’t wait until your belongings are ruined before you take the extra step in protecting them. Lastly, installing window films can provide an extra element of safety to your home. The film on the windows will provide fragment retention by holding the glass together during accidental breakages, destructive weather, vandalism or burglaries. One of the biggest misconceptions about window films is that they interfere with the home’s views or create an unwanted darkness in your rooms. Those were some problems of the past, but today’s technology brings us films with better heat rejection, low reflectivity and they’re almost invisible from the inside. In fact, there are films on the market now that have none of those undesirable dark or shiny characteristics and do not contain any metal which could have the capacity to interfere with cellular phones or other wireless devices. Another worry that homeowners have is how well the films will hold up. Today’s films should not peel or scratch. In fact, many are developed with specialized scratch-resistant coatings that were not available years ago. Bubbling should not be an issue unless the films are installed improperly. Normal cleaning of the windows is also allowable. For more information on protecting your home with residential window films, visit www.3M.com/prestige.

Ah, the aroma of freshly cut grass and juicy hot dogs. The sound of peanut shells crunching underfoot. The sensation of warm sunlight caressing your arms. The hustle and bustle of a fan-filled stadium. The crack of a bat and the cheer of a crowd. It can only mean one thing…baseball season is here! In the Valley of the Sun, residents and visitors alike are distinctly fortunate to enjoy a yearly bonus to the baseball season: Spring Training! A time-honored tradition in Metro Phoenix, Spring Training is not only a popular excuse for cutting out of work on a weekday, but it creates an incredible economic boost to the Valley as well. In 2009, Cactus League Spring Training was attended by 1.57 million people and had a statewide impact of $359 million! Our World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks begin their regular season in April. Their home opener on the 8th against Cincinnati is in the evening, so all you Dads out there that pull your boy out of school to sneak off to the first game of the season won’t need to do so this year! Starting this year, the Diamondbacks have moved their Spring Training up to the Valley from Tucson. So we’re able to get a sneak peak at the team all through the month of March…and in fantastic fashion – a brand-new ballpark! Located on a 140-acre site near the Pima-Loop 101 Freeway and Indian Bend Road in Scottsdale, Salt River Fields, the new Spring Training home of the Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, is the first MLB stadium built on Native American land.

Of course, only the best will do for our newest Cactus League stadium! From its thoughtful design to envelope

a majority of the stadium seating in cool shade, to its modern and creative amenities, Salt River Fields is a top-notch venue and even a one-of-a-kind destination. A high-definition video board featuring LED technology is the largest of any Cactus League Spring Training facility in the Valley at a whopping 24 x 48 feet in size. The stadium features luxury suites, three party decks, three observation towers, and pathways with views overlooking team batting cages and the practice fields. Concession stands offer traditional baseball fare, along with delights from Native New Yorker, Cold Stone Creamery and Salty Señorita. There’s even a wiffle ball court for kids. Visitors will get a dose of culture while at the ballpark. There will be signs throughout the ballpark with information on the Pima and Maricopa tribal history and restroom signs will be in Maricopa, Pima and English languages. When the boys of spring become the boys of summer after the month of March, Salt River Fields continues as a venue all through the year. From sporting events, festivals, car shows, social gatherings, conventions and other community events, we now have one more dynamic reason to love living in the Valley of the Sun!
