March Get Your PHX:
Por Vida Gallery
The goal of Get Your PHX is to show up, en masse, to support those who pioneer new restaurants, stores, bars and event spaces. We want to provide them a boost as they put their sweat, tears and wealth on the line to make life great downtown. Plus, we want to provide a chance for you to meet others like you, who want to get the most out of Phoenix.
16th Street Should Not Be Ignored
That is the message of Por Vida Gallery. Our January 2011 Get Your PHX was a celebration of 16th St. and we are going back to see what's new.
Por Vida owners Pablo Luna, Thomas "Breeze" Marcus, and Lalo Cota have a foothold and a new statement that they want to share with you.
Lalo Cota tells us that 16th is the next logical step in art in Phoenix. First Friday, he says, can't be about just 3rd and Roosevelt anymore. He tells us downtown has become too much about food and artists are struggling. So it is time to expand.
Come see if the leading edge of art in Phoenix truly is making a move east and see Douglas Miles' transfixing =Apacheria= show in which Miles challenges cliché images of Native American life through mixed media.
This will be the most engaging Get Your PHX that we've hosted for some time. So, don't miss it!
Special sponsors to be announced soon!
Keep an eye on our Facebook Fan Page for updates. As you know, there are always surprises.
March Get Your PHX
Thursday, March 22nd from 5:30 to 7:30pm.

In Other Market News...
In Summary This image should speak volumes....  The inventory is half what it was, short sales and foreclosures are clearing the market. If you have been thinking its time to sell, let's talk. See this blog post to learn more about that. If you've been putting off buying because you are waiting for lower prices, that ship has sailed. You may be able to get in before prices start moving upward. Articles Prices are about to Move UP
Here are some more fun charts and graphs to make my point....and who doesn't like charts and graphs?
Making an Offer They Can't Refuse
In a market where houses are going in days you need to have all of your financing in order. See this quick description of what that means and how you can have a smooth transaction.
Credit Where Credit is Due
Credit can be confusing. It's this strange, omnipresent score board of your financial decisions that determines whether you're a smart financial risk for lenders. But don't worry. Check out this link for the key bits to know. It could save you billions! OK, maybe not that much.
Put Your Money Where Your House Is
If you've got it, buying cash can be a great way to go for many reasons. See why.
Fairhope House Price Drop to $750,000
The owners of 90 West Virginia are issuing an aggressive price drop. The 1930s Fairhope School is recently renovated to a 4,100 square feet on 3/4 of an acre. This is the flagship property in the famous Historic Neighborhood.

Getting Short Sales Closed
The average days that a house sits on the market is actually going down dramatically this year. That tells you that people are making offers faster and short selling banks are getting answers quicker than last year. Check out my post about using smartphones to sell your home to learn more about the image, below.

Kimber Lanning on the Amazon Effect
See the link for an Op Ed from Kimber Lanning Published in the Downtown Phoenix Journal. I really encourage y'all to read this and share it. Kimber is leading the discussion about how we need to protect our local businesses and how we need to reform our out-dated tax structure. The more we let on-line retailers get away without paying their fair share, the more we shift the tax burden to you and me.
Please read and share!!
A Helping Hand in Relocation
If you know of anybody relocating to Phoenix, or somebody at a business with people moving to Phoenix. Please see this link for a handy relocation guide that I put together.
This event just happened over this weekend. But it is worth your attention. I will try to follow up on the outcome for you soon. This is where the rubber of revitalization hits the road of Grand Ave.
