What 10 Years of the Laveen AZ Housing Market Has Taught Me as a RealtorAfter more than 20 years working in Phoenix real estate, one lesson I’ve learned is that housing markets rarely move in a straight line.That is especially true when I look at the Laveen AZ housing market over the last decade.I recently reviewed nearly 8,800 Laveen home sales going back to 2016. The numbers are impressive: the median sale price went from approximately $200,000 in 2016 to $470,000 in 2026.But the bigger lesson isn't simply how much Laveen home values increased. It's how we got here.Lesson #1: Extraordinary Markets Don't Last ForeverThe biggest change occurred between 2020 and 2022.In 2019, Laveen's median sale price was about $259,000. By 2022, it had reached approximately $460,000.As a Realtor, those...

📿Beautiful Churches ~ 9-9-26 ☀️For ALL of Your East Valley AZ Real Estate Needs📞Call or 🙋‍♂Text Brian at 480-773-2370📨Email BrianI needed a new series in the Rain, and since the highlight of most of my days is attending Mass, I figured a good series would be to share photos from the churches that I have visited over the years.  As many of you already know, I enjoy traveling, and I attend Mass daily.  So, of course, when I make plans for a trip, the first thing I look for is a Catholic Church where I can attend Mass daily.  There is nothing that I enjoy more than being inside a Catholic Church!  I hope that everyone will appreciate this series, whether or not you are religious.

Surprise, Arizona, has grown into one of the most popular destinations in the Northwest Phoenix Valley. Buyers are attracted to its newer communities, established neighborhoods, recreational amenities, 55+ options and access to other parts of Greater Phoenix. However, buying a home in Surprise involves more than finding a house with the right number of bedrooms. Neighborhood location, HOA rules, builder contracts, commuting patterns and ongoing ownership expenses can all influence whether a property is truly the right fit. I have lived in Surprise since 2006 and have served Greater Phoenix real estate clients since 2013. Here are 10 practical things I encourage buyers to consider before purchasing a home in Surprise. 1. Surprise Is Not One Single Real Estate Market Surprise covers a la...

I've watched buyers' faces change when the inspection report arrives."Chris...it's 47 pages."Okay.That doesn't mean the house is falling down.Home inspectors document things.That's their job.A report might include everything from a serious electrical issue to a missing doorstop.Those two things don't deserve equal emotional weight.Every House Has SomethingNew construction isn't perfect.Ten-year-old houses aren't perfect.Luxury homes aren't perfect.And older homes definitely aren't perfect.The purpose of an inspection isn't to produce a certificate declaring the property flawless.It's to help the buyer understand what they're purchasing.Separate the FindingsI like buyers to think about inspection findings in different buckets.Safety.Major systems.Water intrusion.Structural concerns.Defer...

There's an interesting group of homeowners sitting on the sidelines right now.They already own a home.They may have substantial equity.They'd like something larger.And they're terrified of giving up their current mortgage.I understand why.A low interest rate has value.But somewhere along the way, some homeowners started treating that rate as though it means they can never move again.Life Doesn't Care About Your Mortgage Rate The couple who purchased a three-bedroom starter home may now have three children.The spare bedroom became an office.The office became a nursery.The garage became storage.The dining room became homework headquarters.Eventually the house simply doesn't function the way it once did.That doesn't automatically mean they should sell.But it does mean the conversation dese...
