Dinner and a Movie at Farrelli’s

by Heather on March 1, 2010

in Lifestyle

Farrelli’s Cinema Supper Club is just about the most fun you can have in a movie theater. Located in Scottsdale, they’re an intimate movie theater which shows a movie while they serve you dinner. It’s a real sit-down dinner, with waiters in long aprons and real cloth napkins, and high-quality food. It’s just so charming that I love it. Highly recommended!

Here’s their schedule for today:

Just a little blurb from one of our favorite title/escrow officers, Maggie Clark of Equity Title. This gives a good picture of just how much the REO (“real estate owned”, i.e. bank owned foreclosure) properties are driving the market lately.

Southwest Valley - REO active listings represent 16% of the total listings, and 50% of the sales for the last month.

Peoria and Glendale - REO active listings represent 17% of the total listings, and 54% of the sales for the last month.

Scottsdale - REO active listing represent 6% of the total listings, 29% of the sales for the last month.

We still get calls on a regular basis from buyers seeking second homes and winter vacation homes. They often ask for Scottsdale, and expect prices to have nose-dived there just like everywhere else. Not the case! Scottsdale hasn’t been hit with the tsunami of foreclosure much of the rest of the Valley of Sun has. Not as many bank owned homes on the market at bargain bazaar pricing equals prices have not nose-dived. Not in Scottsdale anyway.

You want bargain basement, clearance sale pricing? Go to the older neighborhoods in Phoenix, and to the West side neighborhoods of Peoria, Goodyear, Avondale, Tolleson, Maryvale, Buckeye, Peoria, etc. The far Southeast has seen plummeting prices too: think Queen Creek, Florence and Apache Junction.

Pictures make a huge difference too. Buyers love LOTS of pictures. Quantity doesn’t substitute for quality however.
A word about the condo Chris wrote about yesterday, with the fabulous view. We both agreed it was one of the [...]

Phoenix is a Big Grid

by Heather June 19, 2009 Phoenix By Area

Here’s a bit of handy introduction-to-the-Valley sort of info about Phoenix’s street system.
(click to enlarge/”back” to return)
Thoughtfully, our Phoenician forebears laid out our fair city on a big grid. Nearly every street is straight and major streets are 1 mile apart. Numbered streets go north & south, named streets go east-west.
Obviously the big yellow [...]
