I think it has been almost a year since I have posted! Lots has happened. Our middle son is engaged and has built a beautiful new home. Our youngest daughter is looking for a new home and our oldest is settling into her condo. We are the proud owners of a condo in Phoenix Arizona. We usually spend some time in the winter there but have always rented. This summer we went down to purchase. We had a realtor, Diane Olson Home Smart, and our agent was Stephanie. We had done a lot of research online and in talking to others who had bought and were pretty confident that this was the right time to buy as the market had bottomed out. We did not have to look for long....one week...before we found just the right condo. It is a one bed/one bath second story condo in a gated community in north Phoenix. It has fifteen foot ceilings, corner unit, huge windows, large patio with outside storage, racquetball court, gym, two pools, spa, meeting and media room, in suite laundry room and stainless steel appliances. Our parking spot is covered and steps from our condo. We took possession on September11th. In November we went back for the month to golf and furnish our new place. We worked fast and it is pretty well set up for our minimal needs. It is really just a golf getaway place. We are leaving again for the month of March. It will be nice this time to just go and golf. No repairs or shopping needed....I hope. It is a little scary having property so far away but we do have a property watch company keeping an eye on the place. Fore!!!!
