Friday Fun…What Would Be In Your Cookie Jar?Nina Hollander, Broker’s post yesterday reminded us that it was Chocolate Chip Cookie Day…so thank you, Nina, for making me want to make some chocolate chip cookies. So it’s Friday and time for fun!  What would be in YOUR cookie jar if you could have any cookie in it you wanted???I know that there are some who no longer eat cookies or any other sweet but if you did…come on…pretend…what would be in your cookie jar?  What’s your favorite cookie??? Mine is a homemade chocolate chip cookie.

When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old lady sitting on a park bench sobbing her eyes out. I stopped and asked her what was wrong.She said, "I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee."I said, "Well, then why are you crying?"She said, "He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favorite brownies and then makes love to me for half the afternoon.I said, "Well, why are you crying?" She said, "For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favorite dessert and then makes love to me until 2:00 a.m." I said, "Well, why in the world would you be crying?" She said, "I can't remember where I live!"  YOUR   Latest activity in the VALLEY of the SUNFor ALL your Valley AZ ... 08/05/2022

In early summer 2022, we headed to Glacier National Park to explore a different hiking trail. This time we chose the Trout Lake trail. Here's an overview of our experience. The Trout Lake trailhead is found on the north end of Lake McDonald. Once you pass the entrance to the Lake McDonald Lodge, you'll go a little further and turn left on North Shore Lake McDonald Road. You go over a small one lane bridge, pass the parking area and continue on for approximately another 1/2 mile. There is a small pull-over parking spot that can fit perhaps four or five cars. The road is narrow. Once you park, you'll see a small sign that says "Trout Lake" as seen in the photo shown here. We headed up the trail. The first 2.5 miles are uphill, gaining approximately 2,000 feet in elevation. What was very ... 08/05/2022

As there’s more and more talk about the real estate market cooling off from the peak frenzy it saw during the pandemic, you may be questioning what that means for your plans to sell your house. If you’re thinking of making a move, you should know the market is still anything but normal.Even though the supply of homes for sale has been growing this year, there’s still a shortage of homes on the market. And that means conditions continue to favor sellers today. That’s because the level of inventory of homes for sale can help determine if buyers or sellers are in the driver’s seat. Think of it like this: A buyers’ market is when there are more homes for sale than buyers looking to buy. When that happens, buyers have the negotiation power because sellers are more willing to compromise so th... 08/05/2022

It’s true that record levels of home price appreciation have spurred significant equity gains for homeowners over the past few years. As Diana Olick, Real Estate Correspondent at CNBC, says: “The stunning jump in home values over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic has given U.S. homeowners record amounts of housing wealth.” That’s great for your home’s value over the last couple of years, but what if you’ve lived in your home for longer than that? You may be wondering how much equity you truly have. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has done a study to calculate the typical equity gains over longer spans of time. The data they compiled could be enough to motivate you to move. Just remember, to find out how much equity you have in your specific home, you’ll want to get a profe... 08/04/2022

How to Buy a New Home Before Selling Your Current One!!!  Living in a "crowded house" but can't find a way to buy that perfect new home before selling your existing one?  Don't dream it's over! There are mortgage programs that are specifically created to allow you to use proposed rental income from your existing home --- also known as a "departing residence" in this case --- to help with your mortgage qualification.  After all, most Americans are working hard enough to afford one mortgage payment, let alone two. If you've been told that you don't qualify for a new home until you sell your current home, but you otherwise have a down payment saved and ready to go, get in touch and let's see if a departing residence mortgage is a good fit for you. There is freedom within,  Rob SpinosaSVP o... 08/04/2022
