Whoa – the busy season has struck the Sedona real estate market right on time.  We always tell clients that the busiest season in Sedona real estate starts on Valentines day.  Depending on the weather, it may end up not getting busy until the 1st of March.  This year was unusual, because we’ve had bad…

The weeks are flying by and we’re just a few weeks away from the start of the BUSY season for Sedona Real Estate.  We didn’t slow down as much as we have in past years – I’m guessing due in part to the great deals all around Sedona and our fantastic “winter” weather.  It should…

Wrapping up 2011 – this Sedona real estate market update should give you a fair picture of the last month’s activity but stay tuned and I’ll do a year-end version in early January to summarize “the year that was”. We currently have 489 residential units on the market (includes single family homes, condos, manufactured homes,…

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve done an update here – but I also write the Red Rock News Real Estate Blog and write even more on my Facebook page – so you can always find me somewhere! As for the market – we seem to be a little slower than expected this fall.  Typically we’re busiest in…

The summer lull in Sedona real estate usually drags on through the end of August for most Sedona agents, but this year has been marked by high levels of buyer activity through the warm summer months.  Our overall inventory of homes is at it’s lowest point in the last 4+ years and we currently have…

The clear cool days of Spring have finally given way to the heat of summer just last week – which typically signals the end of the busy season for Sedona Real Estate.  All signs are pointing towards a busy summer though – my phone’s been ringing and emails have been coming in with buyers visiting…

80 degrees and clear blue skies… check.  Must be spring in Sedona.  The weather’s been great and buyers are in town taking advantage of the deals to be had.  We’re actually a little behind last year in total sales numbers and volume (approx 10% off) but the activity level seems to be holding strong. 527…

80 degrees and clear blue skies in Sedona this past weekend – and loads of people in town looking at property.  There are 537 Sedona residential properties on the market and 73 of those are already in escrow.  That’s a pretty healthy reduction in inventory over the past 2 years or more – and a…

Last week I heard about a house on a quiet street in Uptown Sedona was coming on the market.  It backs to open space but looks like it borders National Forest.  It was totally remodeled in the last few years and looked great.  The agent put the home on the market for $488k… an aggressive…

Amazingly enough it seems that spring has come to the Verde Valley early this year.  We did get pounded by snow 9 or 10 days ago – but it was gone by lunchtime (as per usual).  Our January and February market is traditionally slow – but was absolutely nutty this year.  Buyers are coming out…
