New home sales reaching record highs

A March 4 article in Phoenix Business Journal shows New home sales hitting 2008 numbers. Year-end numbers from Arizona State University’s Michael Orr show plenty about the housing market and where it might be headed next year. New home sales posted their best numbers since 2008, according to Orr who is director of ASU’s Center for Real Estate Theory and Practice.

Homebuilders sold $514 million worth  of new homes in December 2015, up from $331 million in December 2014. New homes accounted for 19.1 percent of total sales in December, according to Orr. That’s the best share since 2008.

2016 Crusin’ with Councilman Gates was awesome!

 in 32nd Street Lifestyle

The North 32nd Street “Sheaborhood” had a great time at the 4th Annual Crusin’ with Councilman Gates bike event.

This great neighborhood event offered community booths, bike safety tips, free helmets for the kiddos, raffle prizes and lots more. The free event offered people a chance to get to know one another as well as learn more about the neighboring businesses.  Basha’s provided free donuts, fruit and water. 32 Shea offered lots of great coffee!

This Crusin’ Bike event was bittersweet as it was the last bike ride with Phoenix City Councilman Gates as he steps down out of office.
