Local Fave Vendor, Scramble

Central Phoenix

Tagged as:

The North Phoenix area has a new breakfast joint and it’s in a neighborhood that sorely needed more & better breakfast food. I’m so excited! Partly over the food, partly over the wi-fi, and partly because I know someone who knows someone who’s a co-owner of the spot, so I got to go to a [...]

The home where John and Cindy McCain raised their children, on Central Avenue in suburban Phoenix, is back up for sale. This time it’s a For Sale By Owner (FSBO, [...]

Time for another edition of the Sunday Stats Background and Color Coding: red is bad, green is good, inasmuch as it means the stats are moving towards a balanced market.

Pointe Tapatio Pricing Update

Buyer Help

Been a long time since I did a pricing update on properties at the Pointe Tapatio. For those who don’t know it, this is a quiet little resort-like community tucked into the shadow of the south side of North Mountain, just below the Hilton Pointe Tapatio Cliffs resort on the hilltop.

Camelback Castle – it’s for real

Central Phoenix

A couple of weeks ago I published a picture of Camelback Castle, a Moorish Fortress built into the side of Camelback Mountain. I’ve since had a few people write to ask me if it really exists, so I thought I’d take a minute to share some additional photos and links to find out more about [...]

Selling My Grandmother’s House

Central Phoenix

It’s time. My grandmother is getting to the age where living alone in her home, the home that she and my grandfather bought in 1956 when they moved here from New York, just isn’t smart for her any more. It takes maintenance that she’s not able to provide. It takes money to maintain which she [...]

Aura at Camelback: Green Luxury Living

Central Phoenix

Coming Soon – luxury living, urban living, and sustainable living will come together at The Aura at Camelback.     I’ve seen lots of residential “green living” options, but they’re generally on the small side, and usually outside of town.

Downtown Phoenix – does a picture tell the whole story?

Central Phoenix

Is this a picture of a beautiful day in Central Phoenix, that I took from the corner of Central and Clarendon? Or is this a picture of three guys with nerves of steel? Things aren’t always what they first appear… Hat’s off to these guys. I wouldn’t trade jobs no matter how bad the market [...]
