According to the US Census Bureau Arizona is the second fastest growing state with Nevada being number one. This equates to a faster and stronger housing recovery for our state than other parts of the US.
The 2010 Census released by the US Census Bureau, the US population was more than 308 million as of April 1, 2010, up 9.7% from 2000 resident population of 281 million.
All four regions of the country posted population increases over the past decade. The South gained more than 14 million people and the West gained more than 8.7 million. The Northeast and Midwest grew by 1.72 million and 2.53 million, respectively.
California was the most populous state with more than 37 million residents, and Wyoming was the least populous with 563,626 people. Texas had the largest population gain numerically (25.14 million, up from 4.29 million) and Nevada had the highest percentage gain, up 35.1% to 2.7 million. Michigan was the only state that declined in population.
(March/April 2011 issue of The Residential Specialist)
Food, clothing and shelter are the big three that humans will always need for survival. With the population growing there will be no lack of demand in the future for these. It only makes sense to invest in the “shelter” part of the equation now.
Give me a call I would love to talk with you more about this and help you!

Did you know...
In 2009 Tucson MLS agents did:
39% …. 0 Transactions
21% …. 1 Transaction
27% …. 2-5 Transactions
8.5% …. 6-10 Transactions
4.5% …. 11+ Transactions
In 2010 Tucson MLS agents did:
45% …. 0 Transactions
12.5% …. 1 Transaction
20.3% …. 2-5 Transactions
10.3% …. 6-10 Transactions
11% …. 11+ Transactions
When you are looking for an agent to represent you in a real estate transaction (a purchase or a sale) you want someone with experience! Ask them how many sales (transactions) they had last year. Or you can just call me. :)
Not all agents are created equal and you deserve someone who is committed to real estate as their primary, full time career. I have been selling real estate in Tucson for over 11 years and it IS my full time career. I am here to serve you.

Happy Valentines Day
Everything you love is what makes a life worth living. Take a moment, away from what you are working on, and make a list of all the things you love. Don't edit yourself; don't worry about prioritizing or anything of that sort. Simply think of all the things you love. Whether it's the people in your life or the things that bring you joy or the places that are dear to you or your God. You could not love them if you did not have a heart. Loving requires a heart that is alive, awake and free.
"A life filled with loving is a life most like the one we were intended to live from the beginning."
Valentines Day is not just about your sweetheart but about all the people, places, things and moments we love in our life. Take some time today to recognize and honor this great love you have to give and open yourself to receive great love.
