Cucumber Cool In The Hot Phoenix Sun

According to Money Magazine’s recent Best Places to Live poll, the Phoenix area is home to one of America’s best small cities (Scottsdale) AND one of America’s best big cities (Mesa). Phoenix’ reputation as a prime real estate location began with retirees looking for an alternative to Florida. With over 300 days of sunshine every year, and a distinct lack of hurricanes, Phoenix real estate soon became some of the most in demand retirement property in the country. For some, 300 days of sunshine is pure heaven; for others, however, staying cool is a challenge. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is far easier to cool down in a hot place than it is to heat up in a cold one - especially if that hot place is Phoenix.

Cover Your Assets

If you own a rental property, make sure your insurance coverage is protecting your investment. Most insurance companies offer specialized insurance packages for landlords and property owners that help cover any loss incurred by tenants, lawsuits, loss of rent and even terrorism. Though in many cases, regular household insurance will cover claims on rental properties, most household insurance policies aren’t tailored to the needs of landlords and therefore don’t address them. Sometimes simply having a tenant can make your home insurance policy null and void - so check the fine print!

Hottest Town in the Midwest: It’s a Buyer’s Market in Minneapolis

In 2007, the housing market in Minneapolis, Minnesota continues to take a turn for the better as far as buyers are concerned. There are plenty of homes to choose from and prices are falling - fact here. The temperate climate for buyers won’t last forever though. Minneapolis remains a great place to live and with fewer new homes being built and 1,000 fewer houses being listed every month since May, industry experts expect that the market will start to swing toward sellers again within the next two years.

Millionaires Prefer North Texas

The highest end of the real estate market seems to be well beyond the woes of the rest of the world. Claims of a downturn in the real estate market have had little effect on the luxury market in North Texas – in fact, sales of Dallas area mansions are up 25 per cent at a time when the lower-end of the market is dropping. Financing conditions that may prohibit those in a lower income bracket are less of an issue to the multi millionaire crowd. Tougher conditions may make the market trickier to break into for first time buyers, but with booms in the energy industry and the stock market, a whole new crowd of multi million dollar buyers, many of them young people, have popped up. In the first six months of 2007 over 500 million-dollar homes were bought in North Texas, proving that this area continues to be attractive to the upwardly mobile.
