March 2013 Sedona Real Estate Roundup

I regularly tell both buyers and sellers that high season starts sometime after Valentine’s day, so if you don’t see what you like during the winter, wait until the spring.  Sellers hold onto their listings and put them on the market now – to take advantage of the annual spring rush to purchase properties.  This…

Even though the day is perfect 80 degrees, the skies are clear and fall is in the air – I’m sitting here in front of my computer.  Shame on me.  Office time has been at a premium lately due to the busy market conditions and unreal weather for running, hiking, mountain biking and exploring the…

Sedona real estate buyers are seeing a different Sedona this spring – altogether different from past years.  For the first time in 6 years we’re seeing a seller’s market in homes under $400k.  This is a result of increased buyer activity leading to a decline in available homes – and this gives the sellers the…
