Benefits Of Using A Great Real Estate Professional

By Iona P. McFarland


Being a busy real estate agent in Scottsdale, AZ I've come across an increasing trend of home purchasers that are coming from Canada just like I have ever seen before in almost 10 years of being a broker. With the Canadian currency keeping strong as compared to the US dollar, blended with depressed American real estate property rates, it has created a fantastic surprise for Canadians in search of a second house, investment property, or moving to Arizona.

Not just are the costs at, or near rock bottom, there is a great inventory of a wide array of houses. Whether you are searching for a resort-like condo, a single home with a backyard haven, a mansion on camelback hill or Paradise Valley, you'll be overjoyed with a good desert lifestyle. I have had the advantage of working with customers of all walks of life and revenue brackets.

There is one thing they all can benefit from. it's a totally ripe moment to buy. Interest rates are near all-time lows and the house prices seem like at, or near low. Scottsdale, AZ property costs have actually increased nearly 2% from November 2010 through January 2011. This can be an indication the prices in the valley may start to increase.

A nice ease for Canadians on the west part of the country is that there are direct air flights straight to Phoenix. With normal temperatures hovering close to 70 degrees between November and March, it's no wonder more and more Canadians are escaping to the Arizona environment. The warm sunny weather, golf courses, lakes, recreational areas, art galleries, and excellent dining are some of the interesting attractions.

Major League Baseball contains a big presence in the spring as numerous teams flock to AZ for the Cactus League Spring Training which is home to the 2010 world champion San Francisco Giants. You can also find professional hockey -Phoenix Coyotes, NFL Football-Arizona Cardinals, and MLB-Arizona Diamondbacks teams which call the area home for year round sports.

The lifestyle that I have shared with a lot of Canadian clients has brought me a lot of pleasure. I'm so grateful to be in this fantastic business which allows me to work with and meet a lot of great folks.
